VIDEO: This time let’s watch the E3 Skywyard Sword trailer backwards

Matt Hawkins Contributing Writer, Video Games

For those who might recall the GDC trailer in reverse, again, hearing the Skyward Sword theme backwards results in less parenting getting killed and more Zelda fanboys soiling themselves...

It’ll be interesting to see if this is just a nice little joke, and another example of Nintendo playing around with the Zelda theme, or… another mysterious piece of “the puzzle” that Nintendo loves dropping here and there, if only to get Zelda fanboys all excited, who are the lifeblood of the series.

Because they’re the ones who have been buying every single version of every Zelda release, no matter how many prior versions they already own. I’m also confident in saying that they made up a BIG chunk of 3DS early adopters, for Ocarina of Time 3D of course, whereas most other DS fans (myself included) have yet to pull the trigger.

Nintendo is smart, they know that the key to keeping things profitable is to keep interest alive and healthy. And their clandestine approach to the Zelda timeline is the perfect illustration of this. Here is just one of many fanboys spewing one of numerous theories about how all the Zelda games supposedly connects…

… My take on this btw is how they aren’t connected, if only for logistical reasons: no one had any idea the series would take life as it has in the beginning, and the production of each games have happen so far apart from each other, and so dependent on factors such as hardware and the such, that it would have been impossible to create a master plan from the very beginning. Could be wrong of course. But one things is fairly certain: Nintendo is sure as hell has to be enjoying all this fanboy ranting and raving.

What'd you think of this?
