Disclaimer: I will be putting spoilers past the breaks of these articles. These are for people who have played certain parts of the games to come discuss things with me, so don’t click if you haven’t played it yet!

So, it’s pretty safe to say that the majority of you are playing Skyward Sword right now, or if not, you will be playing it very shortly. Since I think we’re all really excited and just looking for a place to gush about how good (or bad, I guess) the game is, I figured I would start a collective playthrough/talk about the game that all of us can get in on and… uh… stuff. I’m not going to go for a really professional tone as I do with many articles; instead I’ll just be talking honestly and candidly, so forgive any weird statements. Here’s the deal:

The Low Down:
– No spoilers beyond the point of the game we’re discussing are allowed.
– Every time a new discussion is posted, it will deal with a new part of the game.
– If you are behind on the playthrough, let me know and we can slow it down to fit as many people’s needs as possible.
– This is sort of like a collective “review” of the game.

This week’s section is going to deal with all of the forest-y area. Hit the break to see exactly what that means.

Last week, Famitsu published an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto following the end of Zelda: Skyward Sword’s development. The latest issue contains a discussion with producer Eiji Aonuma and director Hidemaro Fujibayashi.

The two divulged some interesting information. Aonuma, for instance, told the magazine that Fi was created before the staff decided to support MotionPlus. However, when she was shown at E3 2009 for the first time, “you used her in a completely different way gamewise than you do now.”

Aonuma also said that he hopes to get the next Zelda title out more quickly. Skyward Sword took five years to develop.

Fujibayashi shared a few particular noteworthy comments regarding the game’s structure. Originally, the staff did not plan on limiting the world to three main sections. Eventually they came to the conclusion that “the world was too big and a little too thinly spread out”, leading to what players are experiencing now. Some content was cut (Fujibayashi wouldn’t elaborate on this), though “much of it wound up getting used in the game regardless in the end.”

Another interesting tidbit relates to the Silent Realm. According to Aonuma, the team considered making the world into a completely separate dungeon, but decided against this because “this type of gameplay works best when you’re already intimately familiar with the field it’s taking place in”.

For all of the responses from Aonuma and Fujibayashi, head past the break.
