Popular Zelda item absent from Skyward Sword
In a new Iwata Asks interview, it was revealed that a popular item from Zelda won’t be returning for Skyward Sword. In fact, I believe it has been available in almost every game in the series until now.
What item is it? And why did the team decide against including it?
Head past the break for the details!
The mystery item is the boomerang. The interview explains that the developers intended to include the item so that it could be controlled with Wii MotionPlus. However, those involved with the project realized that it wouldn’t be a boomerang if players could move it in any direction. The team was also interested in handing a “hand” so that players could pick up objects with the item, which means that it ultimately wouldn’t be a boomerang.
In terms of function, the beetle “became” the boomerang.
How do you guys feel about this? Would you have liked to seen the item in the game? Or do find this news perfectly acceptable?
