I seriously hope that the controls are a little more intuitive than that video seems to convey.

Heh, I can promise you from experience that 2/3rds of the Wii Demos I have tried when at a convention have calibration issues.  Once it gets home, it's fine.

Well, if you say so PB.  There seems to be slight but extremely noticeable lag between the remote's motions and Link's, which is more of a concern for me, but hopefully they get that ironed out too...

Commander Shepard: *stares blankly at a video of scantily clad asari dancers* ...What kind of hotel is this?
Liara T'Soni: It is a luxury resort with an... exotic edge.  Azure is slang for a part of the asari body in some places on Illium.
Shepard: Where?
Liara: The lower reaches, near the bottom.
Shepard: I meant, "where on the asari body?"
Liara: So did I.

Seriously, almost every demo I've ever played when at a convention has had some kind of issue, from Metroid Prime 3 to Black Night, and so on.  I think the only ones that don't are at Nintendo World.  Plus, it's not slated till 2011, so I think they'll have that solid by the time it's out.

The game looks awesome, but I kinda wish we had more details about the actual world, and not just that demo area, controls and visual style.

Well we know Link comes from a floating land called Skyloft, and that evil has taken over the land below, so it's up to our airhead Link to save it.

No, they said it was just Link's hometown/city.

But it's possible.  Perhaps Ganon will reach for the skies!  XD

Speaking of Ganon... is he back this time? Or maybe Nintendo's gonna use another Zelda villain this time.

Either way I'm curious about their renditions. Ganon better keeps his beard.

It's supposed to take place before Ocarina of Time, so it's unlikely.

Really?  I thought this took place after Majora's Mask?

That's what I thought. I thought this was re-grown-up Link.

It's an OoT prequel because it explains the origins of the Master Sword.

Ganon's always possible, though.  It is well established by FSA that there is more than one Ganon.  There are simply fewer Ganons than there are Links and Zeldas.  In particular, if they were to go the evil trident route, the significance which FSA places on the trident would in turn distance the game's villain from OoT's Ganon.

Obviously, that was complete speculation.  Nothing says it will happen, I'm just saying, it could.

I think the words used were "The Skyward Sword would later become the Master Sword". So you probably put it in the Temple of Time at the end of the game, or something.

And to be honest, for a game that features so much stuff, a way to make Link FLY would be incredibly awesome. Sure, it'd take away alot of the puzzles, but can you imagine the potencial?

It'd be awesome if he held up the Skyward Sword, yelled out HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! and lightning struck it, making it could it could fly!

Of course, that's the Sword of Omens fanboy in me talking!  XD

You know, the Master Sword SHOULD give Link Sight Beyond Sight.

OK so... originally I had made a really large theory on how everything was connected by Incesty.

Yes, incesty.

It's a word now, look it up. Anyway, I lack the major details now but it's CLEARLY obvious that the entire Zelda series is one big incestuous orgy. Why? Because Link, Zelda AND Ganon are all... well, in nearly every Zelda game.

That said... it brings up interesting questions. Do they get down and dirty after every game? Are Link and Ganon brothers or father and son? Why the hell is it popular to "love thy enemy" in Hyrule? These answers and more... I must have them, Nintendo! The fanbase deserves to know!

"WHOEVER HOLDS THIS MASTER SWORD SHALL POSSESS THE POWER OF... LINK!"

A CHALLENGER HAS APPEARED!

This could very well be a new theory! Maybe anyone who is destined for the sword is invaded by the Link Virus and be-- ... Naw, that's just stupid.

Since Link and Zelda NEVER end up together or even slightly romantically involved at the end of every game, it's safe to say they never do the nasty. Ganon, I think he's been proven to always be the same guy going through time and dimensions and causing crap to happen.

Also, it was a reference to this:
