Home > G4tv: Skyward Sword Preview
Nikole Zivalich from G4tv has recently got to play Skyward Sword and has shared the experience with the world. Nikole writes:
Nintendo recently let me play a nearly-finished version of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and over the next few weeks, I'll be able to share more about my experiences with my hands-on time with it. I want to walk you through what I discovered from my first moments with the game. Skyward Sword begins with a dream. Zelda, a young blond girl, is falling through the sky towards a black whale-like monster with multiple rows of teeth. Link awakens from the dream when Zelda's Loftbird drops off a letter informing him she's waiting for him before their Birdrider Ceremony begins.
Skyward Sword opens in Skyloft, a floating city consisting of bird-worshipping people who depend on Loftbirds for transportation. Their homage to birds is made even more clear by the bird statues littered through the level. Link is encouraged to "pray" to these statues in order to save the game. Loftbirds and their human masters are parts of a whole; they have an emotional connection where Link needs only whistle and his bird will be there. Think Avatar.
The preview holds much more information then what I presented here and is all related to the first hours of the game. There could be some possible spoilers in the preview, but you can check it out at the source link.
