Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

[Stratos]

I got the biggest thrill out of stealing stuff from the shop keeper in Link's Awakening. He would kill you for doing it but you got to keep the item. You could steal everything you needed right off the bat without paying a dime. Sure, you had to live with the name THIEF for the rest of the game but I think it was worth it. Plus you need to steal something to get one of the elusive pictures in the DX version.

The perverted economy of Wind Fish Island forces Link into a life of crime: I can think of no other place in the world in which some curved wood and a peice of string will run you several times more than a bunch of bombs.  Link's got secrets to find, and if it takes grand larceny to do it then so be it!

[Sundoulos]

I was always afraid to steal from the shopkeeper  that because I thought there would be another, unforseen consequence later in the game.  Then again, I usually play my games as a goody two-shoes.

[vudu]

I can't do a no-death run if the shopkeeper kills me. 

Besides, by the end of the fourth dungeon I usually have 999 rupees anyway, so what's the point in stealing stuff?  I have more money than I know what to do with.

[MoronSonOfBoron]

Yeah, money's never been an issue in Zelda games. It should stay that way.

[vudu]

It was an issue in Twilight Princess when I had to put on my magical armor just to burn through some rupees so I could clear a treasure chest that contains more rupees that I didn't need.

[Kytim89]

In Skyward Sword Link should have the option to rob Hyrule National Bank for rupees and he can even have accomplices. Epona would be the get away vehicule.

Huh are you serious?

[KnowsNothing]

Twilight Princess would have been much better if Link could have shorted various Hyrule markets by driving their stock prices down with the introduction of each new Malo Mart.  If there's one thing the Zelda forumla is lacking at the moment it's insider trading.

[NWR_insanolord]

You know what they should add to Zelda? A cover system.

[Sundoulos]

...and a morality choice system, and the abilty to court different NPCs.  Just think how much better OOT would have been if Link could have chosen between Zelda and Malon.

Don't get stevey started.

[nickmitch]

Some sex minigames would also be great.

[Kytim89]

Link and Zelda, eh?

[Stratos]

Link was a ladies man in OoT. Malon, Zelda, Ruto... the list goes on.

[vudu]

I can't stop thinking about this old thread and how much it made me laugh back in the day.

At the time of our meeting, the game is ā€œover half completeā€.

Maybe we'll be waiting a little bit longer than expected. I am expecting kick butt Galaxy level graphics.

Steal the bow, then never return to the item shop.  You'll still be a thief, but not a dead one.

I have to admit to being more than a little disturbed by this "revelation" (as conveniently as it slides into the Zelda franchise's historic record of horrible delays).  With Zelda almost assuredly being delayed till sometime Q4 next year (hint: November), what does the Wii have until then?  Conduit 2?  Don't make me laugh.  If Zelda gets an official delay, I would expect Nintendo to announce something to fill in the gaps.  Otherwise, this is pretty much the N64 and GameCube all over again.

According to IGN, "In an interview last month [Iwata] let it slip that the immediate future for Nintendo's American release calendar could be made up of products that have already been out in Japan for a while -- but just haven't been translated and localized for [the North American] market yet."

Unfortunately, there would only be one or two titles in there that I would be interested in.

Hopefully, that means we're going to see The Last Story and Xenoblade filling in the gaps, then.  Getting Fatal Frame 4 or Tales of Graces would be great, too.

[NWR_insanolord]

Zangeki no Reginleiv is probably too much to hope for.

[Retro Deckades]

Zangeki no Reginleiv is probably too much to hope for.

Although it probably has a better chance than Ni No Kuni.

[alegoicoe]

i hope nintendo is making a transition with this game for the next wii like they did in twilight princess, so we get to play it full hd, not that i care that much but am willing to wait a bit longer if that is the case.

ahahahahahaAHAHAHA

The artsyle Nintendo has shown already looks better than 95% of "HD" offerings. Just like wind waker is basically the best looking game of all time, but it came out on the GameCube.
