Update #5 -Check out our analysis of the intro right here!

Another day, another massive Skyward Sword update. This time we have a camera recorded playthrough of Skyward Sword's intro sequence as well as the first temple up until Link receives the beetle. This however, is not the interesting part of this video. That title goes to the very beginning, where see a Dragon Age-esque intro cinematic telling us the backstory of the game. The presenter cuts it off half-way though, but it's still enough of a teaser. Have a look at the video below, as well as the (mostly accurate) translation.

Tip courtesy of fan Williamrousell. Thank you very much! Original footage by santydelacoru.

Many thanks to Joseph Acosta for the translations and the illegible lines!

Original
1 - Esta es una historia transmitida por los humanes desde tiempo immemorial. (Fi speaking)
2 - La historia de la batalla más cruenta y feroz jamás vista
3 - De las entranas de la tierra emergio la esencia pura del mal.
4 - Su brutal ataque sumio a las gentes en la peor de las pesadillas
5 - Las huestes malignas arrasaron los bosques, secaron los rios y aniquilaron la vida.
6 - Se anhelo era hacerse con aquello que la Diosa protegia, un poder omnimodo.
7 - Un poder omnimodo... En otras palabras...

English
1 - This is a story passed down by the people since time immemorial. (Fi speaking)
2 - The history of the most cruel and ferocious battle ever seen.
3 - From the bowels of the earth emerged the pure essence of evil.
4 - His brutal attack plunged people into their worst nightmares.
5 - The evil forces razed forests, dried up rivers and murdered relentlessly.
6 - They desired that which the Goddess protected, ultimate power.
7 - Absolute power... In other words...


The 4th line is especially interesting if what I managed to make out is true, since it would imply that said evil gave people nightmares. I have no doubt that THIS is Ghirahim's master, so who or what could it be? Is it tied to Ocarina of Time's fact about "those sensitive having nightmares" in the wake of a great evil? The Deku Tree told as much to Link, and it was just assumed to be your usual fantasy prophecy plot machine, but what if it runs deeper than that?

There are several other interesting things to note. The races around what is presumably the Goddess near the end of the intro. We see Mogma on the far right presumably, Gorons next to them, the bird-like things whose name eludes me to the right of the Goddess and... Two unknowns. One of them, [...] well, a cross between Birdo and an umbrella is the best guess anyone can make at this point. It is also interesting to note that the Goddess has a lyre / harp in her left hand. Make of that what you will.

The only thing I have to say is that :

1) It look awesome
2) I don't think I'll ever be able to take the Spanish language seriously, it's a great Language but it just doesn't work for serious stuff.

No, that's a good thing. He's old and worn-out.

That was just awful, agreed. If I had been the one tasked with translating from japanese I'd have used something like "el poder supremo" (supreme power), which sounds wayyyyyyy better.

At least the english version looks boss, and that's the only one that matters anyway!

Are we actually ranking the characters of the Zelda series here? Like, seriously? Are we actually doing this?

OK, then Ganondorf is nowhere near the top because his dialogue is drivel.

I mean, ZFS, if that's how you see it I'm not trying to call you anything for it. I just can't see how Ganondorf is any better than the rest of these games' casts and he's not as good as a few of them for sure.

Well by putting someone on top we're ranking them, aren't we? It follows that everyone else is beneath them and so the curious, inquisitive mind cannot help but visualize the rest of the picture.

I mean, this topic has story speculation in the opening post. I certainly don't play Zelda for their engaging stories either! It's better than anything gameplay-related, though, because I treat those spoilers more significantly than any kind of story spoilers for Zelda.

Well that's the hardcore Zelda fandom for you; they do play those games for their "engaging stories", although for the life of me I'll never agree with them. >_>

So you honestly find Ganondorf worse than that stupid Kokiri punk who blocks your path in the beginning of OoT?

Hey the story could be engaging this time around! They even took that route with Pokemon B/W, I wouldn't be surprised if SS had a decent story.

Zelda stories are charming, sometimes interesting (Wind Waker), but for the most part, they go over the same material every time with some minor changes. They're fun, but I don't worry about what they mean for the rest of the series or whatever. I do like when Ganon is in the games, though, because he usually has nice scenes! He has in the past couple of games, anyway.

Oh it will have Ganon. Every Zelda story looks like it has nothing to do with Ganon until...HEY LOOK GANON IS HERE!

...Okay that's mostly TP but you know what I mean. I'd hope it didn't do that though.
