First Mr. T promoted "World of Warcraft," then Harrison Ford showed up in n "Uncharted 3" commercial, and now Robin Williams is playing Wii for "Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword." What's next, a "Mario Kart 7" commercial starring Jack Nicholson? We're eagerly awaiting it.

"Skyward Sword," the latest addition to the "Zelda" franchise, is just a couple weeks away (Nov. 20 for North America) and Nintendo is deploying its big guns: live-action ads and celebrity endorsements. But this isn't Robin's first rodeo. The "Good Will Hunting" actor starred in a commercial for "The Ocarina of Time 3D" back in June, and it helps that he actually named his daughter Zelda after the video game (also in both commercials).

The second ad doesn't star Williams, but it's entertaining enough. Basically a bunch of swords and shields fall from the sky, sticking into the hoods of cars and narrowly missing innocent bystanders. At the end, one brave gamer picks up the sword, gives it a couple of swings, and gets ready to take on the world. (Then it turns into a Wii game and it's kind of downhill from there.)

One of our favorite parts of the "Zelda" series is when it uses a fragmented setting to keep things interesting -- one game allows Link to alternate seasons, one allows him to jump between past and present, etc. In "Skyward Sword" Link will get to travel between Skyloft, a city in the clouds, and a mysterious lower plane where evil runs rampant.

This is gonna be sick...Zelda games are always really long (a lot lol) but challenging in that way. Twilight Princess and Phantom Hourglass (DSi) were AMAZING. I haven't played Ocarina of Time yet on 3DS, but I bet its awesome.

reply
Emanon to Hannah 2011/11/09 19:33:44

Aw, you are one year too young to buy it on your own [that is if they check ID] but yea that sucks that they won't let you buy it

Emanon to Hannah 2011/11/10 16:57:05

haha do the stores around your place check ID? haha the game stores around here rarely do if the person looks older enough.

reply
Hannah to Emanon 2011/11/10 19:13:57

Im not sure.. i think they do.

reply
Emanon to Hannah 2011/11/10 19:34:25

I am sure you will enjoy it. I heard they are already working on 6 and said it will be better than 5 hahaha

reply
Xion Guest to Emanon 2011/11/09 18:35:58

you can take both ¬¬U its a matter of time and one doesnt quit other cos its not the question. question is not which ones the best game of the year. its if you look for the zelda title now or later, after you take the skyrim one.

reply
Emanon to Xion Guest 2011/11/09 19:31:34

The question asked am I looking forward to the Zelda game, I answered no because I am not.. and then put what game that I am looking forward to... seemed obvious, to me at least.

reply
Xion Guest to Emanon 2011/11/09 23:50:20

its as obvious as you can look forward for both too if you want.. but it was only an extra idea, i was not telling yours was bad at all.

reply
Emanon to Xion Guest 2011/11/09 23:57:24

Yes, I am aware that you can look forward to both. I am not a Zelda fan so am not looking forward to nor will I buy the new game.. thus my choosing of no.

reply
Xion Guest to Emanon 2011/11/10 00:28:33

thanks for telling then, its nice to know. my choice will be take both but yes, in my case, zeldas first. but i understand your choice and hope you enjoy your game too ^.^

I've never played a Legend of Zelda game, but I plan on getting this and Ocarina of Time because I'm supposed to get a 3DS for my birthday, and I've also watched my cousin play the original one on his GameCube and it was pretty cool. The only uncool part about this game's announcement is having Robin Williams be a part of it, but I won't let that sway me.
