Talk:The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Project Deluge
Alright, guys, I didn't think to jump on this before but I think that now might be a good time to do so, especially given that E3 is coming up pretty quickly here. All information regarding Project Deluge needs to stay off of this page. Why? The interview could very well be fake - no one has confirmed or denied its legitimacy. Until such time that Nintendo says that it is real, do not add any Project Deluge content to this article. Zelda Wiki.org is not a place to store rumors. If the interview is to be believed, then we will be seeing something at E3 next week. Therefore, if we don't see anything regarding this at E3, we can assume that it's a fabricated interview. --Ando (talk) 12:36, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Alright, nothing was shown at E3 outside of a vague "yeah, the Wii Zelda team and the DS Zelda team are working on stuff??" So no Project Deluge in this article. Although I am considering making a Project Deluge article just so that anyone who doesn't know what it is can search here and read that it is, in fact, a false game. 04:31, 22 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I didn't catch most of the E3. I saw some things. I did see that Nintendo is making an attachment for the Wii controls that makes them more sensitive to motion. That is the biggest piece of news I remember. I'm not sure if it was ever said, it was on the news bar at the bottom (Yeah! G4 TV!). I also heard the Nintendo is putting most of its focus on the DS rather than on the Wii. Can we hope to have another DS Zelda, but that is not a graphical clone of PH (like MM was of OoT)? I also heard, prior to the start of the E3, that Nintendo could be making an even small DS. Did this get announced? 04:39, July 22, 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the Wii MotionPlus was pretty much the biggest announcement, although they did announce a new Wii Animal Crossing, so that's cool.
 * As for a re-designed DS, well, nothing was said. At all, actually. Not even a hinting of it, so I'd say that it's either not happening or that they're waiting for the Tokyo Game Show.
 * Regarding the focus of the DS, it's possible, but Miyamoto said that BOTH Zelda teams (Wii and DS) were working again. 12:43, 22 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Well at least we now know that this article not just fan hopefulness. 13:08, July 22, 2008 (UTC)


 * I need ti start finding out more about E3. Is it on any channel, what? 13:29, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

It is always on G4 nowadays. But you may not get it. It was not in the standard package for our TV service. 13:34, July 22, 2008 (UTC)


 * I dont think I have it... 13:37, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

For those of you that don't know, "Projected Deluge" is the alleged name of the next Zelda game given by this [nonexistent] interview. However appealing the interview may seem to some people, a close inspection and a slow read of the interview will reveal that it is flat-out bogus. I would normally point out every flaw in the interview that is contrary to what a game designer would actually do in the real world. But why bother? Countless other people have already done that for me. Just search for "Project Deluge" and read the forums that the search gives. You'll then be convinced of the ridiculousness the interview and then you'll realize, as I did, that it actually never occurred. A Zelda game will never have some insane little boy thinking that he is actually the legendary Link has the hero. Even though Tingle was pushing that boundary. 03:39, July 27, 2008 (UTC)


 * A little harsh, Matt? If this were directed at anyone in particular, that would be worthy of at least a one-day block. :/ Yes, the interview was fake, but people who believe it don't have some insanely high level of "foolishness of believing that such a ridiculous interview actually ever occurred", it just means that they are misinformed and (in the case of some) probably want it to be real so badly that in their heads it is. So... please tone it down next time. Brutal honesty is one thing. An attack is something else entirely. 03:46, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


 * No one person really. It here as more of preventative measure than anything else. It was really more directed at myself as I was inclined to believe it at first. So it was really a self-inflicted word-bash. I've believed more foolish things before. I'm never hesitant to be harsh to myself, since I know that I would not take anything I said to myself personally. Perhaps rewording parts? 04:08, July 27, 2008 (UTC)

I realize that it wasn't directed at anyone particularly, but nonetheless, thanks for re-wording it. I'm sure that someone would have gotten offended by it at some point. Just, uh, make sure it doesn't happen again, son. 04:11, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, as you know, I don't lie to spare feelings, as that would ultimately hurt them more in the long run. So many people in our society fail to realize that. I will not make exceptions. If a statement that comes up is potentially offensive, but is true, then little can be done about it other than erasing the message. It is not possible to tell someone they are wrong without offending them. That is just a fact of life. You just have to remember that I have their best interests at heart. If you can come up with a way to tell people they are wrong without offending them, then you have just solved one of the world greatest mysteries and you'll go down in history as one of the greatest heroes of all time. ;) But until then, we must do the best with what we have. 04:22, July 27, 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not implying that people were extremely foolish in believing this, I might have been though. I'm just speaking in generalities. 04:28, July 27, 2008 (UTC)


 * About making exceptions. It is because I cannot trust myself if I become selective about who I am truthful to and who I lie to. I cannot allow myself to lose my integrity that way. If I did that, I'd begin to lie even to myself and I would start to compromise my other morals. It takes discipline. It is not easy. But it is the right thing to do. And that is all that matters. 04:34, July 27, 2008 (UTC)

Jeez, I hope Project Deluge isn't real. What is a Zelda game without Link? If we wanted to be playing a Link Wannabe, the Tingle Miniseries would be the game that was coming out next year. Insane Hero my rear-end! Mantandzelink

Serious Question
Who is to say that the person on the promo is not Zant? After all, I believe that if you slay someone with a triforce, you gain that triforces ability. I believe that it may be the rebirth of the now-immortal Zant as a child. He sort of reminds me of a Twilii from Twilight Princess. Please correct me if I am wrong. I know that my statements would possibly mean that Link would be he holder of the triforce of power, but maybe Link had refused taking it, or his soul was not capable of taking such power, after all he is good-hearted. But Zant obviously believes in the prospect of power. So I would contend that the person on the front of the promo must be the new holder of the triforce of power.

 * Considering the game has yet to be released, it could be anything. Best to save the assumptions/theories until that time. 16:13, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

You do have a point there, but the character's appearance isn't really that of a Twili, the coloring is all wrong. A Twili has different attire and it contains both white and black as opposed to this creatures pure white appearance. Their skin color too is completely different from this creature, if it really was a Twili, wouldn't it have a gray complexion? But your idea about the creature being the new wielder of the triforce of power is a good idea. However it really only makes sense if this game is a sequel to Twilight Princess because as we have learned from all the other games, Ganon is always the one holding the Triforce of Power. Gaeil 13:54, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

AND the figure in the promo is obviously female,AND, Ganon has ALWAYS been the holder of the Triforce of Power, even though he has died AT LEAST eight times. AND, Zant did NOT have the Triforce, did he? Unless I've been playing the wrong version of the game for three years straight...... Mantandzelink

What I was saying was that maybe Zant has inherited Ganon's triforce. Seeing as he killed Ganon and that he believes in the idea of having power. Mmaunula13 00:47, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

spirit tracks has been released now
Can the line about Zelda Wii not being the only Zelda game being developed be removed now since Spirit Tracks has been released? Magiciandude 01:41, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
