Skyward Sword Items: Difference between revisions

==Shields==

Group the shields by 'family'. Wooden Shield can be upgraded to the Banded Shield... These will be listed under 'Wooden Shields'. Mention all upgrades briefly, but then a link to the more elaborate pages.

The bow and arrow is used by holding the Wii-mote up and down in front of the screen to aim and holding C on the nunchuck and pulling back then letting go of C to shoot. There is a power meter based on how long you hold back the nunchuck before releasing C. Although it takes a lot more work than the Slingshot you are rewarded with a more powerful weapon. This weapon is good against enemies such as hanging Skulltulas and hanging Deku Babas.

Unlike the Bow in this game, the Slingshot only requires players to point and shoot with the Wii Remote. With this, the Slingshot isn't too different from the one we saw in Twilight Princess. Link will simply take aim at a target and shoot a projectile at it. It appears to be less powerful compared to the Bow, as it is in previous adventures. The Slingshot, however, can take out some weaker enemies, such as Keese, in one hit.

These classic items also return in Skyward Sword. Link can equip Bombs just as usual, though in this adventure, he has the ability to throw them overhead a desired distance, as well as rolling them across the ground. Depending on how far the Wii Remote is from the screen, the distance of the Bomb to be thrown is determined. Players will swing the Wii Remote overhead to sling a Bomb that way, and underhanded to roll it across the ground. Certain low-leveled holes in walls hide bombable items or switched behind them, where rolling a Bomb underneath is the only way to access. The Beetle can also carry and drop Bombs to long distance locations, so as long as it doesn't explode before it gets there. The bomb looks to be a lot more accessible than in previous adventures.

A new item, only referred to as the "Beetle", gives Link the ability to grab from long distances away. Player will equip the Beetle and release it with a button, thus taking control of the item as it flies through the air. Releasing the Beetle is a lot like aiming the Slingshot, and players choose a direction before releasing. Players will be given a 3rd-person perspective from behind the Beetle as it flies, controlling its path by tilting the Wii Remote. Flying into distant items, the Beetle will pick these up and return them to Link. The Beetle is also able to drop items, such as bombs, in flight. However, running into a wall will knock the Beetle down, resulting in having to re-equip the Beetle and try again. The Beetle is a mostly gold insect like item with a jade abdomen and dark gold claws. Its design is not based off of any past Zelda item.
