◆"The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword"

At the beginning of the conference, Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo appeared with the sword and shield of the link.


We reported that we are performing the 25th anniversary orchestra concert of Zelda legend and judging "contest" contest.



Also with DSi wear"The Legend of Zelda 4 Swords 25th Anniversary Edition"Confirmed that it will start distribution free from September 28.


And I did a comment on the new work "The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword."


According to Mr. Miyamoto, this time Zelda is using Wii remote control and Nunchaku to intuitively control the sword and shield. It seems that the direction of waving sword and the result of attack are different depending on the angle.


In addition to responding to slashing from various directions, the action of the sword can play the attack of the enemy.


Also, as the name "Skyward Sword", you can also save power by holding the sword to the sky.


Actually, I will operate with Wii remote control and nunchuck like this.


By operating the Wii remote control, it is possible to perform various operations intuitively.


For example, a tightrope. Take a balance with the controller.


Swimming is A button + angle adjustment of the controller.


The enemy's wooden shield can be chopped with a sword.


In the fight with the enemy you can damage it by slashing from the direction where the opponent's guard is vacant.


Attractive enemy characters also appeared.


There are also users of the sword in the enemies, and you can enjoy the fight with a sense of urgency.


Painting with a sword.


It solves the mystery by various operations following the real thrill of the legendary series of Zelda.


In the conventional work, I used the A button to swing the sword, but this time it became easier to use sub weapons such as hook shots because the A button was empty.


The bow seems to be a real bow, and it is said that it is close to the sense of shooting by pulling an arrow.


You can also take insects on insect repellent nets.


It seems that you can also make magical medicine with collected insects.


This work, which had become the largest production scale ever, has a dense and versatile content of Dantotsu among the series.
