Email: You mean Ocarina of Time wasn’t the big E3 announcement?

Hi Mr. Malstrom, sorry to keep bombarding you with emails, especially since you’re probably swamped right about now.

I’ve noticed something since Nintendo’s press conference. More people are talking about the Ocarina remake on 3DS than they are Skyward Sword. From what I’ve observed, the general consensus on Skyward is “it looks like it could be cool,” whereas even people who never played Ocarina of Time are pretty much soiling their pants at the idea of a 3DS remake. If that’s not indication that there’s something wrong with modern Zelda, I don’t know what is.

.
Ocarina of Time is a known value. Skyward Sword is an unknown. All that we know is that they showed off motion plus controls. But that wasn’t too effective due to the interference.

I don’t think we have much information to judge Skyward Sword in any way… yet. The only thing we can see for sure is the art style.

Note how there was no sword last year for Zelda. Yet, a sword is now in the subtitle. We could be wrong about this title and that it is in massive transition. Miyamoto seems to be throwing his whip at Aonuma.
