Thanks to the 1:1 functionality of Wii MotionPlus, players will be able to raise Link’s sword in the air for a charge attack in Zelda: Skyward Sword. Did you know that Shigeru Miyamoto wanted to implement the idea was thought of thirteen years ago?

As was stated in the latest Iwata Asks, Shigeru Miyamoto was looking to include sword raising in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. But it wasn’t until Skyward Sword that he was able to accomplish his goal.

Aonuma: That’s right. Apart from the horse, ever since The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Miyamoto-san has said that he wants Link to raise his sword over his head.

Osawa: He said that to me, too. We couldn’t do it on the Nintendo 64 system.

Iwata: But you can raise the sword in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, right?

Aonuma: Yes. It uses the Wii MotionPlus technology, so we’ve finally done it.

Iwata: After 13 years, you’ve fulfilled another wish.

Aonuma: So to Miyamoto-san, all the games in The Legend of Zelda series are connected.

Like Square Enix’s last title for Wii, Mario Sports Mix, Itadaki Street Wii will have online play. Famitsu reports that the game allows users to connect with others around the country. However, it sounds like the title might not have worldwide play. In any case, I suppose it’s encouraging to see Nintendo/Square Enix incorporating online functionality into their projects more often.

Eiji Aonuma has revealed that Nintendo considered not implementing Wii MotionPlus for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. The team planned on incorporating the technology for a couple of years, but at one point, Aonuma wasn’t so sure if he wanted to pursue usage of the peripheral. As a matter of fact, development of Skyward Sword continued without MotionPlus for two or three months.

As we all know, MotionPlus did indeed return, though perhaps it might not have happened that way if Wii Sports Resort designer Katsuya Eguchi never spoke with Aonuma. Aonuma told IGN, “Mr. Eguchi came to me and said, ‘Look at all these things you can do with Motion Plus, why wouldn’t you use this in a Zelda game? It would be strange not to!'”

You might be interested to know that the E3 2010 demo of the game was just a taste of what was to come. It was really just a preview of basic swordplay rather than an indication of how Skyward Sword would end up. Within the past year, it seems like the development team began to highlight “bringing bigger and bolder swordplay experiences to the game.”

Aonuma also told the site:

“This last year we’ve been testing those ideas, flushing them out, and integrating them into the game, bringing the whole package together. Tying all those elements together has been a big part of what we’ve done in the last year.
