The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, is a video game that Nintendo released for the Wii console on November 20, 2011. The retail price of the game at $45.95. The game also had a limited edition golden Wiimote controller and a soundtrack bundle which retailed for $69.99. Some say that this game surpasses the other games, but why? This report will explain some of the feature that Skyward Sword has.

The story of Skywards Sword starts with a war that starts when the monsters escaped the ‘fissure’ so they can get the ‘ultimate power’ that is protected by the Goddess. Considering the humans living there couldn’t fight against the monsters, the Goddess Hylia saved them. The Goddess used the sacred items, the Goddess Harp and the Goddess Sword to send the remaining humans and a chunk of land above the sky. While the remaining humans where safe, Hylia and other creatures defeated the monsters, and peace returned to the land.

Since Hylia was weak, she was reborn as a mortal over and over, along with the Hero of the Sky, this lead to our hero, Link. Link is tasked with finding Zelda, completing the Song of Hero, surviving through the countless dungeons and defeating Demise, the demon King.

While the story runs in the background, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword’s gameplay uses the Wiimote Plus, which is include inside or as an add-on, and the Nunchuck.

    This sword has a beautiful ornamented handle and a blade that is hinting that this is not an average sword. It is "an old sword made by giants, string of its edges, glory of warriors." Beowulf uses this sword to kill Grendel's mother by hitting her from above, thus breaking her collar-bones and slicing her into two halves. At this moment, the fire brightens and lits the cave from inside, "just as from the sky heaven's candle shines clear." Beowulf looks around and sees dead Grendel, so he immediately cuts monster's head off to present it to Hrothgar. As soon as he does that, the lake becomes stained with blood. The watchers ashore interprets this as a sign of Beowulf's death of the hands of Grendel's mother.

  • Disney Princess Analysis

    866 Words  | 2 Pages

    Advertisements use celebrities and Disney characters to give young girls the idea of being able to imitate their lifestyle. By buying the merchandise of these princesses young girls are buying this mentality and promoting the message. Playboy bunny and Disney princesses are different yet similar in the way that they exploit female bodies. For instance, in the film Mulan her mother and aunts state, “good breeding and a tiny waist will bring honor to them all,” as in her family name (“Disney and Sexism – You-Tube”). This implies that having a tiny waist is more attractive than a usual figure. This leads young girls to believe that the only way their body would be appreciated is if they have the same frame as Mulan. Mulan’s figure seemed average and the females in her family who were helping her get dressed in order to be presentable they used a fabric ribbon lace material to tighten her waist. This extremely emphasized in the movie giving the message that the only way your family will accept you is if you are thin. This Disney princess is over-sexualized because she uses her appearance to attain luxuries. Her family wants her to go on a date against her will in order to marry a man who she does not love. She struggles with her inner self. The producers show that even when a woman is strong she must please others.
