Although the year of The Legend of Zelda 25th anniversary is almost over, people are finding last minute ways to celebrate this milestone in the series. The year has been filled with interviews, fan videos, new merchandise, new games, and even a symphony tour playing all of the classic songs from the series; all showing just how much the fans and the creators love the games. Recently, a few of the GameSpot editors got together to commemorate the series by…

You can check out our previous post about Tom McShea, which was apart of the Zelda podcast over at GameSpot. You can also check out Tom McShea’s original 7.5 review score of Skyward Sword over at GameSpot.

One week has passed since GameSpot posted its Skyward Sword review by Tom McShea, and what a week it’s been. Few people would deny that McShea’s “low” 7.5 rating for Skyward Sword has ruffled some feathers (and we’re talking Loftwing-sized feathers here) since its posting, and today GameSpot has posted a podcast with McShea as well as another GameSpot staff member, Peter Brown. The pair discuss the game with each other, pointing out what they did and didn’t like and…

Look no further: Josh Thomas from TheBitBlock has posted a splendid rebuttal video showcasing how accurately Skyward Sword reacts to motions.

In a recent interview in SW The Magazine, Gamespot reviewer Tom McShea goes over the reasons why he gave Skyward Sword its score. He continues to list a few changes he would like to see in the series. Near the end there is a small sampling of the various reaction comments to the review score. Check out some of the article just after the jump.

Gamespot has updated their youtube with another teaser video of their upcoming review. This time we get to see a few more scenes featuring the whip, an interesting new moster character, Fun Fun Island, the Gorons, and a few more colorful characters found in Skyloft. Also included are a few more short scenes of some more exotic locations and a curious display of Link playing the harp surrounded by Loftwings.

We recently received news from GameSpot’s preview of Skyward Sword that an old friend would be returning to aid Link in his quest, the boomerang. Link’s trusty boomerang has made many appearances in the Zelda franchise so when we first heard that it would be making a comeback it wasn’t hard to believe. According to GameSpot, Link receives the Boomerang very early in the game from the chief of the Kikwi’s, Bucha, but that doesn’t seem to be the case…

It seems as though Nintendo is lessening the grip of it’s leash over what gaming sites are allowed to divulge about their experience with Skyward Sword. Numerous sites such as Destructoid, 1UP, GameSpot, and G4 have all released their experience with Skyward Sword’s first few hours. The time after departing from Skyloft, making your way to Faron Woods and conquering the Skyview Temple are all covered in the previews released today. Many new interesting details were revealed, luckily we have summarized…

After the debut of the new trailer at Comic-Con, GameSpot was able to talk with Bill Trinen about a wide variety of Skyward Sword topics. The video also features good footage of the Ghirahim and Sky Temple demos that were available to play along with the Bird Riding demo at the convention. After the jump, you can find several highlights and quotes.

All of the footage is through Direct-Feed, meaning it is pulled straight from the game without the use of a camcorder. It’s some pretty high quality material and shows off quite a bit from Skyward Sword. A bullet point analysis can be found after the jump!
