Two things stuck out to me reading the op...
According to Zelda Informer, there are new leaked informations about Skyward Sword available. And, please grab your seats, most of them coming from 4Chan.
Oh, 4Chan. Lovely. They're most certainly a trustworthy authority. On anything.
Maybe Zelda Dungeon has the capability to destroy most of the false rumours.
We most certainly do. :bleh:
I just looked at that list you posted there, Unlucky Monkey, and I can say almost immediately, just about all of them are silly. I'll go over why and how...
Skyward Sword is complete, but still needs debugging/testing.
This is kind of obvious, or at least is a reasonable assumption. Sorta unimportant either way, IMO.
There will be a demo at E3 with three different aspects of the game explored: Flying combat, overworld + sky exploration, desert dungeon.
Almost certain that flying gameplay has been officially debunked. Either way, this seems like a random assortment of areas without much rhyme or reason. Especially the desert dungeon. And what would "sky exploration" be? Flying exploration? Just normal Skyloft overworld?
Skyward Sword girl's name is "Dorella."
Pulled out of their ***, clearly. Sounds as logical as all the other made up names. Adelle, Zordiana.
Magician from GDC trailer's name is "Nephiburoo," he'll be a part of a group of evil sorcerers who wish to obtain the Triforce.
That... name... is just... :xd: :xd: However, the latter part correlates with completely reasonable theories, that I myself support (my whole Dark Tribe thing, relating to the Dark Interlopers - predecessors of the Twili - from Twilight Princess, which the new character resembles).
Ganondorf is in the game briefly as a child. Isn't too important to the story.
I've talked about this endlessly. Ganondorf cannot appear in the game. It is logically impossible. Important or not, it will not happen.
Zelda has a new design, similar to an Egyptian princess with brown hair. She's still recognizable however.
Egyptian? What? Why? This makes no sense. Obviously made up.
Full orchestrated soundtrack by the person responsible for Super Mario Galaxy's soundtrack.
Orchestrated? That makes sense. Mario Galaxy? I dunno, that doesn't so much. Koji Kondo almost always does Zelda soundtracks.
Two overworlds: Skyloft and Hyrule. Contrast is similar to Heaven and Hell.
We've seen the land below. The original gameplay area from the first announcement of Skyward Sword is BASED on areas from when Link first arrives below, to what I understood. This is also false. Although obviously there will be two overworlds and obviously they will be Skyloft and Hyrule.
Ten minute live-action prologue that'll be posted on the net a couple of months before release.
...
WHAT?
After you complete the game, the game goes into a storyless, neverending epilogue. Every dungeon in the game gets another dungeon inside of it utilizing everything you've obtained in the game with new bosses. New areas on the overworld are unlocked in places you wouldn't expect. Similar to the original Zelda.
...
WHAT??? This barely makes sense as a concept!
Game will feature horse riding and boat riding. Not as expansive as seen in Twilight Princess and Wind Waker, however, but a boat will be required to complete some dungeons.
Um... This is also absurd. I mean, both of these were implemented as major transportation methods. They DEFINED the overworld in the games they appeared in! To have both? AND Skyloft? That doesn't make any sense.
Coming November 1st, 2011.
Could work, but there's no way it's definite. I mean where did they even get this information? Does Nintendo allow its employees to just go on 4Chan and spit development info to trolls? I doubt it. :/
(But the one about Paul Gray was correct)
