Link

Link started as a boy in Skyloft, but needs to travel to the land ruled by evil, Hyrule.

First of all, let’s start with the look. I think the look in Twilight Princess was too realistic, and since it’s usually night in Twilight Princess,(thank you very much Nintendo), link look dark and evil. But I love the Skyward sword look, it’s like a mash-up of Wind Waker/Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks, and Ocarina of Time/Majora’s Mask/Twilight Princess. You know a shorter way to say that would be realistic Minish Cap.

In this picture you can’t really see it, but link has the Hylian Shield and the Skyward Sword which later becomes the Master Sword.(Skyward Sword is the prequel to Ocarina of Time.

Zordiana

Link’s sidekick in this game appears as a female spirit-like entity known as Zordiana. She is the very embodiment of the Skyward Sword itself, which will allow Link to travel freely between the land of Hyrule and the land above the clouds, Skyloft. Little is known about Zordiana, but it is very much speculated that she will be fairy-like, as she slightly resembles the Fairy Queen seen in WindWaker.

Sorry, but those are the only main characters known about, but there’s plenty of enemies.

Bokoblin

He has a machete!

Bokoblins are back, and aren’t purple anymore! But instead of holding clubs like in

He has an army of Keese

Twilight Princess, they hold knives, swords, and machetes, which they hold in certain ways which you have to strike against on the other side of their body to avoid their blocking.

Bokoblin (Green)

Green Bokoblin wield large hammers rather than the swords of their red counterparts. Some bokoblin can be found walking along tightropes. To defeat these foes, use the motion plus features to keep balance and cause the Bokoblin to fall.  The green Bokoblin will most likely be encountered on the ground as well, where his hammer may be more of a threat and Link will have to use different techniques to make quick work of this enemy.

Zol

Zols are originally from Link’s Awakening and look alot like Chuchu’s. Like in Link’s Awakening, when Zols are hit, they split into two smaller versions called Gels, they act pretty much the same, but they’re smaller and weaker.

Gels

Gels are smaller variations of Zols, which exist when Zols are hit once. Gels, if left alone, will come together to merge into a Zol.If Gel get close to Link they’ll jump up and stick onto Link’s leg, causing him to move much slower. Fortunately, the gels do not cause any damage to Link, but will only slow him down. One simple sword slash will defeat these slimy creatures.

Deku Baba

Roarrr!

Deku Babas make a return in Skyward Sword, and look

Horizontal Slice

pretty much the same as in TP and OoT. This time you have to slash in a certain direction, depending on which way they open their mouth, to defeat them. Whether they do the thing like in previous games when they get hit and look up waiting for you to slash it’s head off is unknown.

Golden Deku Baba

Rooooar!(again)

The Golden Deku Baba is a stronger variation of the standard Deku Baba. It will attack Link the same as a standard deku baba by lunging towards Link, attempting to bite him. It’s mouth is divided into four parts, rather than the two halves that the standard deku babas will have. This will allow the golden baba to alternate directions in which its mouth opens, meaning Link will have to slash either horizontally or vertically, depending on how its mouth is open. Additionally, unlike the standard deku babas, the golden babas take multiple hits to defeat and can be quite challenging if you’re not careful.

Fire Toadpoli

The Fire Toadpoli is seen in the fire dungeon and looks a lot like the one in TP in Goron Mines. It will spit fireballs at Link and he will have to swing his sword to deflect them. Similar to defeating Ganons Puppet Zelda in TP.

Keese

Keese were seen in the demo and they appear to serve the same purpose that they have in previous Zelda titles. One cool feature is that Link was able to use his whip and defeat mulitple keese with one swing of the whip. With the return of the keese, it is very likely that we will also get various elemental keese. I have seen both fire keese and ice keese in several prior Zelda titles and they are likely to reappear in Skyward Sword.

Octorock

I look like a Deku Scrub!

Octorok’s have taken a much different look in Skyward Sword. For the first time in a 3d console Zelda title, Octorok’s are now land creatures and they seem to resemble their 2d counterparts. They will shoot rocks towards Link, of which Link can deflect them back at them by swinging his shield with the nunchuck. Octorok’s seem to greatly resemble deku scrubs from previous Zelda titles.

Stalfos

I have two swords!

Stalfos wield a sharp sword in each of its hands and in order to defeat this skeleton creature, Link must use several accurate sword slashes at the right time. In previous Zelda titles stalfos were often stunned and crumble to the floor after being hit, but it isn’t until a bomb is placed and explodes that the stalfos are completely defeated.

Walltula

Walltullas appear to be identical to their Twilight Princess incarnation. They move across vines and Link can shoot them down using his slingshot. They do appear to move quite faster than in any previous Zelda title.

Eye Switch

Link now must confuse the eye switch by rotating his sword and then shoot an arrow at it.

Spear Moblin

A Spear Moblin is a giant purple monster that holds a spear and a large wooden shield. The moblin uses the shield to block Link’s attacks, although it isn’t very sturdy. Link can slice the shield into pieces, leaving the Spear Moblin vulnerable to sword attacks. The moblin’s primary attack is using its spear to wind back and deliver a thrusting blow at Link. Link can quickly dodge the attack and deliver a counter sword slash during the recoil period.

Scorpion

The Scorpion will guard with its claws, but when it opens up to prepare an attack, slash at the eyes in the direction that the claws aren’t guarding (so, if the claw opens vertically, slash horizontally)

One eye will turn red. That signifies that that claw will lunge at you and attempt to grab you. If it grabs you, break free by shaking the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.

Once a claw has been hit enough, it will fall off. Do the same to the other claw and the target will change to its head. It will now change its attack strategy to jabbing with its stinger or ramming with its head. When charging the jab attack, its eye will turn red, signifying the weakness. Stabbing its eye will hurt it. If it does manage to successfully charge, a side-jump or backflip is enough to successfully dodge.

BEWARE: Action does NOT stop when you switch items or drink a potion.

Ravana

Ravana is a large golden statue, seemingly lifeless until controlled by the Evil Dude. Ravana holds two blade thingies in it’s upper hands, and will throw them at Link to injure him. To also attack Link, Ravana will use its middle two arms to try and smash him with its fists.

It is not yet known how to defeat Ravana, but it is assumed that Link will have to attack the middle section of its body, where its lower two arms are guarding.

Hylian Shield

The Shield is controlled using the Nunchuck attatchment. Link uses this to defend against attacking enemies slashing with their weapons or shooting projectiles at him, just as we have seen before. Additionally, Link can use his Shield to deflect items back at enemies by players moving the Nunchuck in a forward, thrusting motion, an example being reflecting rocks back at Octoroks when they shoot towards him.

Master Sword

Link has more control over his sword in this adventure than ever before. By way of the Wii Motion Plus, the sword now can swing in whichever direction the player chooses, giving the experience of 1:1 swordplay. Often, this proves to be a very vital point in the game. Offensively, many enemies must be defeated by swinging the sword certain ways. Such is the case for Deku Babas, where Link must slash them in the way their mouth is open (either vertically or horizontally) to defeat them. Other enemies will try to cover parts of their body from attack, whereas Link will have to attack the revealed areas to defeat the enemy. The sword also plays a key role in getting through doors. Certain doors will have an eye that will follow Link’s sword as long as he is standing on a platform. Moving the sword in a circular motion will spin the eye around, causing a dizzying affect and allowing for the eye to be struck. Once destroyed, the doorway will be accessable to go through.

Bow and Arrow

Almost every Zelda title thus far has made use of the Bow and Arrow, and this one is no different. This time, Link can use his Bow for a much wider variety of uses than every before. With the Wii remote in the right hand, and the Nunchuck in the left, players will pull back the Nunchuck just like they are pulling back the string on a bow, holding the C button on the Nunchuck, and releasing to shoot an arrow. Normal enemies can be shot with the bow, as well as items being knocked off of trees and such. However, dropped items from enemies (such as hearts) can also be shot with the bow, causing them to stick in the side of walls. Apparently, by doing this, Link can reclaim his dropped heart as well as his arrow. Since the Crossbow is also a rumored item, there is a possibility that Link will get the Bow and Arrow early on in his quest and then get the Crossbow at a later point in time.

Slingshot

Same as in TP. Point, hold B, release B and pelt enemies.

Bombs

These classic items also return in Skyward Sword. Link can equip Bombs just as usual, though in this adventure, he has the ability to throw them overhead a desired distance, as well as rolling them across the ground. Depending on how far the Wii Remote is from the screen, the distance of the Bomb to be thrown is determined. Players will swing the Wii Remote overhead to sling a Bomb that way, and underhanded to roll it across the ground. Certain low-leveled holes in walls hide bombable items or switched behind them, where rolling a Bomb underneath is the only way to access. Also they look like the bomb flowers from WW, PH, and ST.

Beetle

A new item, only referred to as the “Beetle”, gives Link the ability to grab from long distances away. Player will equip the Beetle and release it with a button, thus taking control of the item as it flies through the air. Players will be given a 3rd-person perspective from behind the Beetle as it flies, controlling its path with the Wii Remote. Flying into distant items, the Beetle will pick these up and return them to Link. However, running into a wall will knock the Beetle down, resulting in having to re-equip the Beetle and try again. You can use the Beetle as an eye in the sky, which can grab bombs and attack enemies.

Whip

An item more recently added to the Zelda series with Spirit Tracks, the Whip makes a return to Skyward Sword. With the Wii Remote in hand, players can swing the whip in any direction, taking out a vast amount of grass to reveal rupies and other items. The Whip can also be use to grab these items and pull them back to Link by players actually making a “pulling towards” motion towards themselves. Enemies, such as Keese, can be defeated by the Whip. However, other, larger enemies can only be knocked back, open themselves up for a sword attack in any direction.

Red Potion

This is Link’s original medicine which can be store bought, but you need an empty bottle.

Heart

Link’s original recovery method. These can be received from enemies, pots, jars, and grass, and fill up one heart each.

Rupees

Official money in Hyrule.

Green 1

Blue 5

Yellow 10

Red 20

Purple 50

Orange 100

Silver 200

Hookshot

The hookshot will have different functions compared to previous games. It has been rumored to have a double role as a grappling hook as well. You can control the distance that it will travel by swinging the wiimote. It will also require you to move the wiimotion to climb towards your target, rather than how you were traditionally propelled towards the target.

Crossbow

Nothing is known about the crossbow.

Screenshots will be added later.

Getting Oshus' Sword

On the Boat Near Cannon Island

Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is a Nintendo DS game where Link and Linebeck  have to cross four seas to save the ocean king and defeat the Evil Phantom Bellum. For that they will need the help of  three spirits who can track down the ghost ship that stole Links’  friend ,Tetra. But you need to find three pure metals in the great sea to make a legendary sword that is the only sword that has the power to defeat Bellum. I hope these strategy guides help:

1. How to use a sword:

1.Targeted attack: Quickly tap an enemy with your stylus

2.Side Slash: Sketch a small line between you and the enemy with your stylus

3.Spin Attack: Draw a circle around yourself with your stylus

4.Great Spin: Preform three consecutive spin attack after obtaining the swordmans scroll

This is my Boss Guide

How to Defeat Blaaz

- Once the battle begins, Blaaz will split into three smaller forms. The three triplets will chase Link around the room shooting out fireballs towards Link. Don’t bother trying to strike at the separate mini Blaaz bodies with your sword because it won’t affect him. The mini Blaaz incarnations will gather fire and shoot fireballs out at Link. They are quite slow and are very easy to avoid. If at any point during the battle you grow weary, just slash at the pots within the chamber to fill up your hearts.

- In order to successfully defeat Blaaz, you must fuse him together using the mighty boomerang. While on the run, bust out the boomerang and trace a line between the three forms of blaze to fuse them all together. However, there is a catch to this as well. If you take a look at the map you will see the three forms of Blaaz wandering around. One of them has one horn, another has two horns, and the other has three horns. When tracing the boomerang you must target them in a specific order. Logically, the order is the one with one horn, then two horns, and of course, three horns.

- Once you successfully fuse him together, just run up to Blaaz and keeping tapping at him to strike him over and over with your sword. After several hits, Blaaz will disappear for a second and move around the room before re-appearing. Keep chasing Blaaz around while striking him with your sword. As Blaaz begins to weaken, fire rocks will begin to fall from the ceiling.

- Just keep repeating the process of fusing Blaaz together with the boomerang and strike him with your sword. If you are quick with your striking, it should take no more than three fusions of Blaaz to defeat him.

How to Defeat Bellum

Part 1: As you walk into the temple you will become trapped inside, as usuall. Bellum will appear in a small ooze pool in the middle of the room. Equip the Grappling Hook and run around the pool occasionally sending the hook at him pulling of the purple ooze armor he’s coated himself with. You’ll lnow when your done cause when you are, the next time you hook Bellum, he will be pulled over to the side of the pool that your on with his eye open. That’s his weak spot! Start slashing at him untill he flails up to the second floor. Now equip the Bow and run upstairs. Now his tentacles will start opening their eyes trying to slap you. When one opens, quickly shoot it with an arrow to temporarily knock it out. Do this to all six to make Bellum crash into his ooze. Now run back down with the Grappling Hook to repeat the first stage over again so repeat the first and second processes, untill he goes to the third floor. You’re almost done with part 1! It’s the same as the second floor except Bellum makes it harder by slapping you with two tentacles. Once you’ve finally defeated him, he spits out a ball of Cielas’ memory! Yay! She can now create Phantom Spheres for you to freeze time! This is the last stage of part 1! Run to the first floor and you’ll see him ramming around the room. Ciela creates Phantom Spheres for you to freeze Bellum while his eye is open. so when he’s about to hit you with his eye open and you have a phantom sphere, tap the icon on the bottom of the screen and quickly trace a figure eight. this freezes time for about five seconds so you can hit Bellums’ eye. Do this over and over again untill he finally breaks out of the temple and flies to the ghost ship.

Part 2:

Much simpler this part. When Ciela gives you a Phantom Sphere, hit Bellum on the back untill Ciela gets captured. So attack Bellum wherever and rub against him when the game says to and Ciela can give you a Phantom Sphere.Wait untill his eye opens, and then use the Phantom Sphere to be able to run around him and hit him in the eye. Do this over and over untill Bellum dies!!!!

Mario with the Propeller Suit

The objective of  New Super Mario Bros. Wii is to, like every Mario Game, rescue Princess Peach and defeat Bowser, the Koopa King. On the way, Mario has to face about 80 challenging levels filled with Goombas, Koopa Troopas, Spinies, Bullet Bills, and more. But the part that I really love about this game is that you get to cooporate with other people. It reminds me of real life; Your friends help you get past the hard parts of life and of the level. The first World is the Mushroom Kingdom. The second World is the Desert. The third World is the Snow World. The fourth world is a Tropical Island. The fifth World is a Jungle. The sixth World is the Mountain World. The seventh is the Sky world. And the eighth is Bowsers Dormain. But, don’t fear 5 other people will help you get through this tough journey! Those people are: Luigi, Yellow Toad, Blue Toad, Yoshi, and Toad. This game also has items like the Penguin Suit and the Propeller Musroom that were never seen in the Nintendo DS version!

This is my favorite game EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Five Stars!

Definetly no matter what, this games rating is:

Two Trainers, the three starter Pokemon, Ho-oh and Lugia

1. To complete the pokedex that Prof. Elm gives to you.

2. To beat Team Rocket who are trying to capture Ho-oh (Gold) and Lugia (Silver).

3. To catch Ho-oh/Lugia.

For example, this trainer has Chikorita first in his party so Chikorita walks around with him.

This game just released on March 14, 2010 so it is really awesome compared to the super old version of Gold and Silver. Also, you get to have whatever Pokemon thats first in your party walk around with you. If you have Heart Gold you automaticly get Ho-oh and if you have Soul Silver you automaticly get Lugia. The three starters are Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile.
