The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - Opening Cinematic Trailer

The Legend of Zelda has had this magical ability to look cartoonishly serious as of late (I'm looking at you, Wind Waker) but this isn't really a point of concern. After all, Wind Waker is revered by many fans as one of the best games of the series, but let's look at the new game that's bound to make Zelda fans everywhere squeal.

Now call me crazy, but this feels like the first time I've ever seen Link and Zelda having anything close to a romantic relationship before the game really starts. After I stopped yelling "KISS HIM ALREADY" at my screen, I payed attention to what was actually going on. It appears as if they live in sort of cloud city, sans Lando, and while the lovebirds are flying around together, a giant light sucks Zelda to goodness knows where. Link then puts on his green tunic, and commences beat downs.

This game looks rife with action that is unique to the Zelda series (balancing a rock on molten lava, keeping a mine car on the tacks thousands of feet in the air) but also adheres to the classic game play that made the series immortal in the first place. The music almost supports the "epic cartoon" atmosphere felt here, with the scenes showing everything from intense battles against four armed skeletons to goofy store vendors. Still, it's Zelda, how could you possibly go wrong?
