I'm sure they made it so you cant drink while falling, and from the physics it looks like you can't dive with it or anything like that.

still we dont know what'll happen

spoiler: it will have brand new glitches.

If I lived in Texas I'd totally smuggle in you in my trunk and take you to BestBuy, but alas :/

Just smuggle the game across instead and have him pay in pesos, less danger danger

I'll wait for you at Nuevo Laredo and you go to Laredo, then send it to me on a boat across the Río Bravo, then I'll send it back with tha money ;D

I know it's not out yet but I thought it would be a good idea to make a new topic about it. This game is sort of like a hybrid between the two Zelda games Wind Waker (and of course the other few games with the same graphics) and Twilight Princess, for those of you guys who didn't know. Honestly i realy don't like the graphics to much. Links hair is freakin shineing. It looks like he's made of plastic! I dont know about you but that's not right.
It looks too cartoonish as well. Spinning your sword around in the air to beat a bad guy thats an eye! This game better not get a T rating. And it also looks like the whole game is in agayforest. I should have seen Hyrule field and Hyrule Castle and Epona too. I also love the bad guys. They look like freakin homo-sexual fox's like you would find in a gay fairy tale. This game better be good to make up with the graphics like with Wind Waker. I'll give this game one chance though.

There's a trailer for another game. Oh, and I like the "MAY CONTAIN CONTENT INAPPRORIATE FOR CHILDREN" thing in the begining of the trailer. Yeah right!

I popped that thread out on E3 day after seeing the trailer and gameplay demo, lots of good details and such.

Sorry, didn't think to look there.

In this video, you can clearly see the guy grabs a bomb with the whip for a brief moment. So this may mean you can pull/hurl bombs around using the whip. Also, he walks forward while aiming the bow.

New Skyward Sword gameplay video: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/nc-10-nintendo-wii/705395

Still demo footage, but you can see the lava boulder you roll on looks like... an eyeball? Also you can get a pretty good view of the ornate center-platform in the Fire Temple.

Here's a two-part, 20 minute playthrough of the SkyWard Sword E3 Demo:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOlmV1-a4fw&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57Ed_X4flM0&feature=related

I've noticed:

1. You can leap up vines repeatedly, definitely faster than climbing normally.
2. You can wall jump! (see 1:15 and 4:51 in part 1).
3. You can slash really quickly, faster than any other 3D Zelda so far for sure (see 6:33 in part 2).

PS: This guy has a very compelling theory about the story of the game as well as the mystery girl on the poster:

New GDC trailer for Skyward Sword: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5HxKASXjeM&feature=feedu

Stuff I've noticed in it:
1. Main logo now has vines growing on it.
2. There's now a Hylian Shield icon at the top left as well as a meter right next to it.
3. Big Skulltula's (Twilight Princess style) have returned.
4. Peahats return (metallic looking with very small propellers).
5. New type of Beamos enemy shown (need to slice it's lower sections to shorten it, to presumably be able to attack it's eye).
6. The "master sword/great fairy girl is equipped to the D-pad (most likely a Navi/Midna-type button).
7. There's a new fat moblin with a large wood shield.
8. There's a Bamboo-chopping minigame.
9. New big rolling enemy (looks electric and metallic)
10. New enemy that's a monkey that breaths fire while hiding under a rock.
11. New 6-armed boss. Notice the strange dude that's sitting on top of it before fight starts (probably a main antogonist).
12. Lamp looking item is equipped in the 3rd scene.  

Edit:
13: Harp

note on the guy you think is a main antagonist taht was seen before the boss. i only looked once (and not closely), but to me it looked like a sheikah

This video really brings up some excellent ideas about Skyward Sword by dissecting the trailer very carefully:

That little icon that appears on the Dpad looks like bulbasaur to me. I had to stare at it for a minute before I saw a girl lol.

Meant to say this earlier-

I think the main boss will be Vaati.

The trailer is better when you watch it in reverse. Start watching this video at 1:02:

Greetings ZU Staff,

I wanted to let you in on some info on Nintendo’s press conference.  My classmate at a southern California university CSUF will be performing with his choir at E3.  Today is a rehearsal at the university.  Monday night is his dress rehearsal.  He has informed me that the music is for Skyward Sword.  That’s all I have.  Enjoy the choir and E3.

Best wishes,

Alex Jaich

Also, the latest trailer is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG8WNWJlZow

Flying through the sky looks like it's going to suck worse than Top Gun (NES)

At 4:40-4:45 in the vid he does a standard quick spin but then also does a veritcal quick spin. I noticed also that there is an 8 piece shaped pie magic meter (I'd assume it's a magic meter) that goes down when he does the quick spins, and it auto refills after time.

In one of the demo videos I heard the temple of time song playing in the background... Not sure if this actually means anything, but since the story is about the mastersword, it wouldn't surprise me if the temple of time had some roll in the game.

The temple of time song starts at about 3:56

The same battle with Ghirahim, but this time you can actually hear that awesome music.
