Looked kind of bad.  Even aside from the poor demo.  Definitely not the Zelda game that makes me want to play Zelda again.

Sooo much interference!

Apart from Gears 3 best thing I've seen at E3 yet.

Where is my grimdark Zelda? Or steampunk Zelda? I don't want to keep playing the same game. I played it once, it was called Ocarina of Time. And it was great and all, but seriously....I'm old...I can't keep playing the same shit.

8.8  I'm calling it.
 
I'm not a fan of the art style. The not interested in the new interface either. A more cartoony, arm flaily version of the previous Zelda? Based on this first showing, I'm gonna pass.

Man...same thing that bothered me about Twilight Princess, the gigantic hud.  Gave the game a weird, claustrophobic feeling that I just couldn't get past.

It's a shame that I don't have a wii motion plus. If any game is going to force me to buy one, however, it will probably be this one.

Right handed Link. Boo. 
Not digging the art style. I really like the art in Twilight Princess, and I did like the art style of Wind Waker. This just seems like it's stuck in bettween OK wii and sub par gamecube graphics. 
I really do not like motion controls. I hope the next Nintendo console isn't as gimmicky as this one. I wouldn't mind an HD or Blue Ray console with no motion controls.
 
The only thing that could really interest me in this game is a dark story. I have a feeling this might not happen.

Cant wait for this game, why did it have to be 2011

The 'Steve Jobs' moment was hilarious. 
 
I loved the look of the game; it was somewhere in the middle between the artistic extremes of cel-shaded Wind Waker and realistic Twilight Princess.

Legend of Zelda Awkward Sword, 
 
 prove me wrong Nintendo.

No mention of how terrible it controlled on stage?  Okay then.
 
It looked like Twilight Princess with even more motion controls, which is pretty much the opposite of what I would want.  Plus it controlled like ass on the stage, maybe it's better in-person.

If they bring back the ball and chain item, you'd better be able to use it by spinning the Wii Remote.

do i get the hookshot or boomerang first? yawn.

" do i get the hookshot or boomerang first? yawn. "

It had to have worked without the control mess up at some point. Otherwise, I doubt they would have shown the controls... definitely not live. Hopefully, it's just an alpha bug... hopefully.

So I only managed to catch the end of this demo when all the technical problems were hitting, which is too bad. To be honest I was kind of expecting more, I am excited about the motion plus stuff, Wii Sports Resort proved that accessory can pull off some cool stuff and transplanting gameplay from that into a more hardcore game like Zelda sounds rad and makes sense.  
 
However, this still looks like a traditional Zelda game. I guess we don't know the structure but there are obviously dungeons, you probably get an item from each dungeon, the items are analogous to previous series items for the most part. You probably have to collect something similar to Tri-Force pieces. If I'm wrong and they are changing that up then fantastic but this seems more like an evolution than a revolution. I don't know how far you can take it and still be a Zelda game but I feel the series needs a dramatic mixup in its formula. Will still probably be a blast though. 
 
Oh, and I totally called the art style a year ago. I was thinking something along the lines of a cel-shaded adult link, maybe with the simple smooth look of Mario Galaxy and that is exactly what it is. That is probably the best direction as Twilight Princess's art style wasn't bad but it looked dated by the time it came out. Enemy designs are very Wind Waker.

The HUD is MASSIVE.
And was it me or it did not work so well? He had to make the gesture three times for it to catch.

Based on how it performed and how early it supposedly is in development, maybe it would have been better for them to just stick with a trailer.

I am here to get my quest (I think this is what the quest wants me to do)

"I need more info! "

For all the awkwardness on stage with the controls, this still looks like it has some promise.

I remember that it was still rather impressive how well the motion controls worked in Twilight Princess considering they were pretty much just tacked on last minute. It should be very interesting to see what they pull out with a game that not only was designed with motion controls, but the abilities of Motion Plus.
 
Now, I will actually have to get Wii Motion Plus. I've been holding off before.

Can I borrow someone's Wii to play this one? Just for a week? 

Looks like they're using the same engine / some of the same art assets as Twilight Princess, a la Majora's Mask being based on OoT tech. 
 
This looks pretty great. I may even buy a Wii just to play it!

T'was amazing. Too bad they had tech issues from cell phones, made miyamoto / sensors / game look bad.

Nintendo doing another Zelda game? Such a big surprise! My disenchantment with them continues....

Yeah, the demo was rough. Only mildly excited about a same formula Zelda. 
 
When are they going to give us a physics based Zelda with non-static puzzle elements?

Who is gonna find that awesome new concept art for me in a decent resolution?  ^_^

The game looks great and I love the new artwork for this style of Link. Unfortunately, though, the demo was kind of disappointing to me because it seemed that there were alot of technical issues with the motion control (considering it's still in development), but that doesn't make it terrible or anything. It just means we're gonna have to wait for more future updates and obvious bug fixes throughout the year.

looks nice. looking forward to jeff's 8.8

amazing 

Skyward sword? 
More Like Awkward Sword.

The Legend of Zelda Yoga: Downward Dog - Experience Link's latest epic adventure using the Wii's revolutionary balance board and new heartbeat sensor!

I really wish that they would come up with a new graphic style for Zelda. They have all looked the same since Ocarina. Wind Breaker had an interesting approach, and arguably stands up to the test of time in regards to art style. I kind of wish that big bosses didn't look so bright and cheerful - rather something along the lines of Shadow of Colossus. 
 
Or just give me a remade Link to the Past with a larger kingdom. 2.5-D.

So, Link has gone suicidal now?

I don't want to wiggle my wiimote around =[ I don't like all that stuff. But still, I look forward to another Zelda game and more info/footage of the game. =]

Is there a giant wii-mote on your hud?

Only thing I found somewhat cool about that was the idea of bowling bombs and being able to put spin on them.  Not enough to really make me want a game, but that could be a really cool mechanic and it's one of the things the wii motion plus is proven to do well.

I'm not going to complain much because a new Zelda game is a good thing no matter what.  
 
I'm a big fan of the WW/DS style and personally found TP a bit too dreary for my tastes, but this just looks like they took the TP models and added the WW cel-shading to them.  It looks a bit half-assed and I hope they tweak it some before the final release.

i will not trash nintendo anymore.

I thought the style looked a little off but after getting a better look and seeing it's a little way off I think this may sit nicely between the wind wake and twilight princess visually. And with that mix I also seem to be seeing a gameplay blend of the 3D Zelda we know very well and wii sports resort.

wooo!
