Skyward Sword Trailers

With less than two months to go before Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is realeased, news has not stopped coming. Yesterday, I saw some new trailers... click the links (no pun intended) to see them.

Romance Trailer
Opening Trailer
Swordplay Trailer

Haha, the romance trailer was cute. In an article on Zelda Universe, it said, "But, just when thing’s start getting romantic, she get’s swallowed by  a whale. Too bad."

Stupid whale. You are SO going to die.

Level up without doing a thing

If you play Call of Duty, you must like Mountain Dew, right? And you've been drinking can after can of the stupid stuff, trying to stay awake at 3am playing Black Ops, right? Well, with Modern Warfare 3, MD will be worth something a little more than that. If you buy a specially marked bottle of Mountain Dew, you'll get a code thingy that will unlock some extra XP, which I assume is used to level up. Whatever it is, drinking all of that MD is finally gonna be worth it. Maybe.

A Flood of Skyward Sword News

Well, it's a flood because ZeldaUniverse had a server outage over the past few days, and now that it's fixed, they've posted AT LEAST 8 videos and a ton of other stuff that I've reposted below.

- Japanese box art
- Second quest
- Weapon upgrade system
- GameInformer Scans (I'm not looking!)
- 100 minutes of cutscenes
- Boss challenge mode
- GoNintendo news [SPOILERS]
- Nintendo Everything [SPOILERS]

I am NOT going to read the spoilers. Skyward Sword might be the first Zelda game I'll play without someon *cough* Xeon *cough* spoiling the best parts. Well, I hope you enjoy all of this!

Treasure Hunting!!

No, I do not go treasure hunting. Unless you count digging a hole in your backyard and finding a dime.

Actually, in Skyward Sword, you will be able to go "treasure hunting" kind of like in Wind Waker when you're trying to find all of those stupid triforce shards. But totally more worth it.

You can see a quick video of it here: Exclusive Video: Treasure Hunting in Skyward Sword

Two Dollars

What can you buy for $2? Maybe a mountain dew. Or a candy bar. Or... something that I bought at a yard sale today... you'll never guess in a million years... start guessing, people.
Guitar Praise? That'd be sweet, but no.
A Ps3? Hahaha, yeah. Right. Nope.
Out of ideas? Okay, I bought a.... Nintendo Entertainment System, a.k.a. a NES!!! For $2!!! And it works!!!
What?! You don't beleive me?! I'll prove it!! Click "More Nonsense" to see pics of it.

In other news, I made orange cupcakes today. Click the "More Nonsense" button to see them, too.

Skyward Sword Playing Time

At a recent press conference, Nintendo announced the time it would take for the average gamer to complete their newest Zelda game, Skyward Sword. Any guesses?

Shigeru Miyamoto announced that the game would take about 50-100 hours to complete. Sound's about right to me, but taking into consideration that I'm terrible at video games, It could take me a year or two to complete. Nah, probably a few months at the most.

Also, during the conference, Nintendo showed a little show of different gameplay clips, including some epic boss battles. Nintendo said that once you've completed the game, you'll be able to replay all of those boss battle in a "boss rush" mode, kinda like in Ocarina of Time (hereinafter OoT) 3D.

There is also a new location revealed, Eldin Volcano, which I swear is Death Mountain from OoT. But really, who knows? You can watch that video here. GameInformer.com also said that they'll be posting the clip show video as soon as they can get it, so I'll keep an eye out.

GI: Share Your Favorite Zelda Memories

Again, something with GameInformer.com and Zelda. Go figure.

Today, however, it's something a little different. The post says, "Reader Disscussion: Share Your Favore Zelda Memories". Since it's Zelda's 25th anniversay (a few months back) the editors of GI have asked that the readers comment and write about their fovorite Zelda memories.

Mine? Oh boy, I have too many to count...
The first Zelda game I ever played was Spirit Tracks (bad place to start), but the first one I really, truly devoted some time to was Wind Waker. Also, it's the only one I've ever completed. My favorite Zelda memories... I can think of three right now.
1) Finally finishing Wind Waker after a year... I love the ending cutscene, fighting Ganon, just everything after you get into Ganon's Tower is epic.
2) Playing the Fire Temple in Ocarina of Time with my friend. Getting the megaton hammer, and getting collateral damage bats was memorable. But the best part about that: When we got to the boss (Volvagia) and he told me, "Ok, now this is just like Whack-a-Mole." I just about lost it there.
3) Again, when my friend was over. He showed me how to launch gossip stones into outer space. I was laughing so hard. You can watch a video about it here. (fast-fowrad to 2:00)

Well, that's all for now.

GI Cover

Okay, I know I just posted like an hour ago, but this is worth getting excited about. To me, at least.

GameInformer revealed their cover for October's issue, and guess what it is? Three tries...

(cue Jeopardy music)

Okay, well, I'm going to tell you anyway! It's The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword!!! Here's a picture if you want to see it too.

Rain, rain, go away...

It has not stopped raining here since Monday. The rain has barely slowed down. Today, the school district where I live closed down (second day of school!) because of supposed flooding.

Other than the horrible rain, I've had part of Flyleaf's Amy Says stuck in my head all week. The part where she sings, "I see you laughing at the rain that hits your face." Go figure.

ALSO I just updated the "Awesome songs" Google Doc. More music, yay!

P.S. I've found the problem with the "Greatest Guitar Battle Ever!" video, I just have to fix it. I hope I can get it done soon...
