Curiosity Shop #065: Zelda Dungeon Mailbag

Sorry for the mailbag being a day late, but nonetheless it’s here! And the Comic-Con trailer for Skyward Sword came out just in time for me to cover it a little on this mailbag! (Which was actually a funny story since I had all the questions ready and then was notified of the trailer. Afterwards I modified the questions list. Crazy!) There was actually a lot of great questions this week, some of which I had to omit because of time, but perhaps they will appear in the next mailbag if there aren’t too many good questions next week. Anyway, 10 questions in all, mostly about Skyward Sword and the series’ future. Enjoy!

Questions and timestamps:

(00:21) – What do you think of the new Skyward Sword trailer?
(01:37) – Given the similarities between Death Mountain and Dragon Roost Island, do you really think that Volvagia and Valoo aren’t related?
(02:27) – What do you think of Skyward Sword’s graphics and artstyle? And what is your favorite style in the series?
(03:21) – What do you think about people saying that the graphics of Skyward Sword are bad?
(04:26) – GameInformer stated that Ghirahim is female. Is this correct and if not why did they get it wrong?
(05:27) – Do you think Miyamoto was kidding when he said the series may end if Skyward doesn’t top Ocarina of Time?
(06:15) – What’s your opinion of Zelda’s longterm future as a series? Do you think it’s going downhill?
(07:31) – Do you think as more games come out the timeline will become easier or harder to understand?
(08:11) – Why do you think Nintendo has been so reluctant to make a mature Zelda game?
(09:03) – What do you think the 3DS will bring to the series? More remakes? More games like Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks? Something new?
