So the other day I was like "you know what'd own is a Zelda game where everything is floating sky islands and you get to fly around on a bird or some shit". And then I looked and that's literally the exact Zelda game that they're making? WISH GRANTED I GUESS

Skyward Sword does look pretty awesome. I like the whole 'ground world' and 'sky world' thing. I've missed having two distinct and full worlds to explore since LttP and OoT.
You get dialogue choices in this one, so you can be a snarky childhood friend at Zelda, which sounds awesome.
Also Nintendo says this game is going to be between 50 and 100 hours long.

They said that about Twilight Princess.
I'm hoping for more interesting and involving NPCs. Zelda games were getting good at that till, again, TP.
Yes, and Twilight Princes was Too Damn Long.

One of the more hugely disappointing things in WW - aside from not getting to nut-stab the king - is how it drops Hyrule from OOT right there under the water in a way that makes it look like you might actually get to do something there, then just goes like, NOPE.
OH GODDAMMIT THANKS FOR REMINDING ME FIFTH

I felt that Twilight Princess was a good length. I would prefer more in the way of optional sidequests (ie. not fetch quests, not collection "quests") but if Skyward Sword is that length or longer, I'll be happy.
...Of course, I'm a little bit of a Twilight Princess fanboy. If they made a sequel with 1) Midna and 2) wolf sections that didn't revolve around grabbing those stupid teardrops, I'd be the happiest. Like, I was one of the few people who enjoyed playing as Wolf Link, and I kind of enjoyed the gloomier tone it had.
I just wish they had kept Zant as the villain instead of bringing Ganondorf out of fucking nowhere.
EDIT: Like, have they said who the villain is yet in Skyward Sword? Because I'm sure the villain will be super cool and everything, and if they kick him/her out in favor of Ganondorf again I'll be upset. Ganondorf's neat and all but he's not so neat that he needs to overshadow everyone else in the universe.

The 50-100 hours should come from the RPG elements they are putting into it, such as crafting weaponry with goods dropped by monsters, etc. Dunno if there is an experience system.

There is nothing wrong with a villain who wants to be ghetto fabulous.
His tongue man. Imagine that he's done things with that tongue. Things we don't want to know.
Calling it right now, the guy will reincarnate into Ganondorf in some form at the end of the game

Please don't put things that aren't spoilers in spoiler tags. It's obnoxious, since it means that if you don't want to read spoilers, you might accidentally do so anyways, because everyone uses it flippantly, with no context, as a punchline to their jokes.
Like, if you're going to spoiler tag something, at least make sure it's an actual spoiler, and give it context as to what it's spoiling.

From the descriptions about battles with Ghirahim he does not appear to be the main villain, more like a side villain or antihero who you fight multiple times throughout the game.

He's still fabulous though.
Those graphics are looking fantastic. Nintendo's really showing off what the Wii can do! :D

Personally I just hope the go ahead and do a Wii U version or the Wii U having backwards compatibility because even this game cannot justify me getting a Wii of my own at this juncture.
By the way I propose we all get started on our Link/Ghirahim yaoi slashfiction and fanart immediately to beat the rush when the game actually comes out.

From what I've read so far, Nintendo's Wii U can play Wii games.
Speaking of Wii U. "Wii play United" would be a nice slogan for it.

Oh, never mind what I said about having to get ahead of the internet's yaoi fanart campaign, Nintendo already has us covered.

Ghirahim is a pretty smooth guy, already putting the moves on Link in their first encounter!

Somebody is calling Gharahim a "David Bowie" lookalike, by which I believe they mean David Bowie's alter-ego Ziggy Stardust look-alike since David Bowie has had like, twenty different looks throughout the years. The tightfitting jumpsuit revealed during the battle kind of supports this but I dunno, I can't believe they didn't also look at all the prior effeminate evil clown characters from video games and incorporate that into their final design.

As rediculous as he is, they could make him a lot like Kefka if they pull it off right. If he's adequately insane and megalomaniacal, it could be great. I'll be sad if he turns out to just be a fruity effeminate clown.
I'd hardly say he's a clown. I less got the impression that he's a ~wacky~ character and more that he's just fuckin' with Link. The subsequent battle, wherein he holds Link's sword between two fingers like it ain't even a thing, support this. So, I really don't see him as a clown character. As for being "fruity" and "effeminate," it's not like those or bad things are that being A Bad Guy is purely within the realm of masculinity.
I dunno, this is just the first time in a game where the villain is supposedly toying with you that it's actually looked like they're fucking toying with you, and I love it.

At first I thought he was supposed to be Mysterio.
It's the hair. When you can only see him from the side it looks like his head is a fish bowl.
