All I can say is 10/10 to 9.5/10.
Seriously.
On topic, though, I'll just wait for my sister to buy it.

I forgot to mention that I don't really like the fact that your shield will break, if hit too many times; however, you can upgrade it, so that's a fair trade-off, I suppose.
I guess one could argue it's to prevent people from abusing the shield. I could see it happening in this game.
Hmm? What do you mean?
I find the shield use to be far more reactive (it's your nunchuk) and considering fights will be more like a duel, you'll find yourself using your shield a LOT.
Putting durability in makes you have to get creative (dodging, etc) as opposed to just putting up your shield every time. It's similar to how sword-handling works, where you can't just recklessly slash the enemy to win.
Yeah, I can understand that. I may have to re-think my opinion, now that I think about it.
Wasn't shield breaking also possible in OOT with the Deku Shield?
Yeah, if it got hit by fire, it would disintegrate.

To clarify: I meant only for this game. They're attempting a new design philosophy in Skyward Sword.

Unfortunately I might not be getting it until Christmas; I want to play Skyrim until my eyes bleed, and in-between that. the National championships coming up aswell as my desire to try out modding for Skyrim it'd be tough getting it before.
Super hyped about it though, I've always wanted more history on Link and Zelda, and it feels good knowing that I'll get some backstory soon enough. And heck, reading the reviews alone - it does seem like it is one damn good game.

You could watch gameplay vids. People are already uploading.

Link actually having a romantic relationship to Zelda for a start, and flight to travel is something the LoZ series has not really explored. The graphics also look pretty solid, overall
WHAAAAAT? Seriously? I'm totally buying this now although I had no interest in it before.
(I freakin' love romance, and you have no idea how long I've wanted Link and Zelda to fall in love.)
Here. Have fun with it.
There's also gameplay showing the early parts of the game, which depict a lot of Link and Zelda's friendship. I wanna see how it turns out during MY playthrough =).

Me, too. I'm trying so hard not to watch that walkthrough, as well; I want my experience to be as fresh as possible.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't even notice it until you mentioned it LOL.

As someone who has never been interested in the Zelda series and has never gotten a Zelda game before... I simply must get this game.
Beautiful graphics, good character development, good world design, yadayada. I'm just excited for the accurate sword combat.

I'm sort of on the same boat. I actually haven't played that many Zelda games (Wind Waker, Oracle of Seasons, Link to the Past GBA, and possibly a couple others are the ones I played).
I confess I have NOT played OOT. I am aware of the game, and have seen the gameplay and the like. however.
But Skyward Sword...is just...what you said =)
