LoZ Skyward Sword: new trailer restrains my excitement

> Origins Trailer: ~youtube.com/watch?v=JL6fOoX9ilE

-- I don't mind the art style but the enemies and other things don't seem to mesh well with the Zelda series

0:25 - this enemy looks ridiculous, like a weird pig thing

0:36 - why is Link fighting a robot pokey thing, doesn't seem to fit the style of the Zelda series at all

1:10 - what is that thing, looks like a goofy pokemon

.

> E3 Trailer: ~ youtube.com/watch?v=P155wBiLu4c&feature=fvwrel

-- The enemies in this game all look great to me. The bird Link flieson looks a bit weird but nothing too strange like the other trailer.

--- The new trailer almost had a Jak and daxter kind-of mechanical feel to it with certain elements, like the robots and the rising platform at 50 sec.. and I don't know why those things would go with zelda but I'm just like that with Nintendo exclusives, kind of how hated count bleck from Super Paper Mario.

Thanks I fixed it

The new trailer did the opposite for me.

I'm super pumped and the game is about 20 days away now.

The art style isn't too unique, it's just like windwaker's.

Seeing the sword upgrade was great - The video just makes me more excited for this game

Im more pumped than ever for this game! I simply cant wait for it.

This is my speculation:

I think the dungeon shown in the origins trailer deals with time. Did you guys notice how anything inside of the colorful area goes from brown, dull and old to bright and futuristic? Or how the goblin (0:25) is using an electrical cleaver instead of the normal cleaver you will see at the beginning of the game?

Once you hit that switch, everything around it will transform to what it will look like in the future. That's a pretty unique way to use time.

The Origins trailer definitely increased my hype for this game. Especially that ending seeing the Sheikah protect Zelda. :D

Windwaker and Skyward Sword look very different. Skyward Sword doesn't even look cel shaded.

Is every cel shaded game from now is cIassified as unoriginal? And what games have an art direction similar to Skyward Sword? I've never heard anybody compare this art styIe to another video game outside of the Zelda franchise, which this game is different to both Windwaker and Twilight Princess.

To be fair, Twilight Princess had giant mechanical statues and windwaker had this guy

If you happen to be able to read the article on Skyward Sword in last months Gameinformer, they specifically say they are trying to push this Zelda game outside of its comfort zone a bit. They are trying new things with it. They aren't trying to totally overhaul and revamp it, but just expand of a Zelda game can be. I'm personally all for this, I like the Zelda games but but they have all basically followed the exact the same design concept since Ocarina of Time and need a bit of a shot in the arm IMO.

The last 10 sec of that trailer was epic. I'm just getting more and more excited, the more i'm seeing the more i'm loving!

I don't know what's your problem with it,it's amazing.

Don't get stuck in the past,the series has to evolve.

They wouldn't be the first mechanized enemies in a Zelda game. Those laser towers in TP and a certain boss in WW were mechanical and overall looked similar to the enemie shown in the trailer.

I never thought Zelda games have a shared consistent universe. Every game has an individual universe and each is consistent in it's own boundries. At least that is how I see it. So I won't criticise the enemies before playing the game.

Also I know that Zelda games share a timeline and a universe but this is just how I approached the games.

That trailer has actually increase my already overflowing interest in the game...:P

But I understand what your saying. I'm still a fan of the Twilight Princess art sty1e myself. And actually prefer they'd used it on a game like (Based on what I've seen...). But I don't think the game looks terrible. Looks pretty good to me...

As far as enemies goes, they seem Zelda-ish to me. Don't see what the problem is...

Im excited for Skyward Sword. Have been since it was first announced. Hard to not get excited for a zelda game. Now Zelda HD for the Wii U know that will be getting alot of hype.

Don't get me wrong I'm still excited for the game, I just hate when they add things that don't seem to mesh well. I'm just a pure fan like that, not against adding new things, as long as they fit well. And some of the things I saw weren't fitting, but I still think this game will be great.

I also thought the trailer was fantastic. The characters/enemies look like something Nintendo would conceive, so that didn't phase me too much. As for the art style, it is a bit different, but allows for vibrant colors and a wide variety of different objects/landscapes/characters.

Exactly

Anyone who says this is like Windwaker's is wrong

Windwaker is the second best Zelda game only beaten by Link to the Past

As far as Zelda games go Windwaker is the best that the series can achieve without being top down
