History YMMV / TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword

* MemeticMolester: Ghirahim. The scene where he leans his head over Link's shoulder and ''lashes out his absurdly long tongue'' comes to mind.

* EvenBetterSequel: Obviously there's no way of telling if this is actually the case before the game is released, but this seems to be intended - ShigeruMiyamoto reportedly instructed the development team that either ''Skyward Sword'' is the best ''Zelda'' ever, or there will be no more ''Zelda'' games. Whether he's serious or not is debatable, but...

* FanNickname: The woman who embodies the Master Sword in the preview pic has, for one reason or another, been referred to as "Steve" in the GameFaqs community. The Master Sword woman is also known as "Zordiana" on Zelda Informer to make fun of the people who believed that rumour.

* IKnewIt: Years ago, on some obscure Zelda fansite, there was a timeline theory which spoke of the origins of the Master Sword, and claimed it was once a woman who ''became'' the sword. At that time, it seemed a little weird. Now, well...

* EpilepticTrees: Typical, since Nintendo, as usual, is being pretty tight lipped about the game. So far, one of the biggest [[WildMassGuessing fan theories]] is that [[FourSwords Vaati]] [[HijackedByGanon will turn out to be in it in some capacity]] (you know, what with the sky/wind mage associations), though this ultimately got {{Jossed}} by ShigeruMiyamoto, as he stated that Skyward Sword is the very first game chronologically, and therefore before Vaati's origin story in MinishCap.

** Debbie is so ''fabulous''.

** [[strike:Ghirahim]] Debbie is so ''fabulous''.

* {{Narm}}: One thing that people have noticed is the rather goofy way Link holds out his sword. However, this is because the journalists who were controlling the game were holding their Motionplus as they have always held the Wiimote: straight toward the screen, rather than straight up like an actual sword. While that bit of Narm is understandable, the other noticeable bit is the design of the Bokoblins, who are admittedly rather poorly designed.

** A new character has appeared in a recent trailer; due to fans not having an official name for him yet, the GameFAQs community has settled on [[ThemeNaming Tracy]], Zelda Universe on Debbie.

* CrowningMusicofAwesome: The main theme, which was introduced previously in the GDC trailer, but not acknowledged as such until E3 2011.

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: Orchestrated music by Mahito Yokota (the guy who did ''SuperMarioGalaxy'' and [[SuperMarioGalaxy2 its sequel]], [[SwordBeam Sword Beams]], and a control system that actually takes full advantage of the Wii's capabilities. Oh, and the admittedly bland forest area they showed at the press conference? That's not the final version of what they have in store.

** Ye gods. Most of the critics regarding the graphics probably know that Miyamoto intentionally went with cel-shading to make combat easier. One critic said he didn't care, and that they should keep advancing the realism of the graphics "until you can see the sweat running down the enemies' faces." [[MugenKagemaru The user]] to whom said critic was replying [[{{Understatement}} was not amused.]]

* UnpleasableFanbase: Fans of Toon Link of ''WindWaker'' hate how it's an adult Link this time, and fans of the realistic look of ''TwilightPrincess'' don't like the cel-shading.

* MemeticMutation: The part of the trailer where Link jumps off of the cliff has been turned into countless [=GIFs=], typically with captions by the claiming that he is committing suicide over the game.
