Over the last few days there has been an insane ammount of Skyward Sword details, how about some rumours this time?…
UPDATED - Even more rumours have been added to this post, be warned, if true they could be considered spoilers....
Intro Legend Details
The absolute power referred to in the leaked intro is the Triforce.
The Goddess saved the chosen people by raising Skyloft up to the heavens.
In this desperate act, she left herself vulnerable to attack from the demons, but managed to leave behind her sword and harp for the chosen race, which she used to protect the Triforce.
The leader of the Hylians used the Triforce to seal away the leader of the demons.
Item Upgrade System
Items grow in stages. Each stage not only makes the item stronger, but adds new abilities as well.
Several arrow types: Wing Arrows, which don’t lose height when fired over long distances, as well as Fire, Ice, and Bomb Arrows. There’s also a Hawkeye-like scope attachment.
There’s some kind of “mirror” like ability for the Beetle that can be placed while it’s flying. (These mirrors can reflect light, and likely replace or are used in conjunction with a Mirror Shield.)
There’s also a special torch-like item (I’m thinking “torch” as in flashlight since this is a European tipster) that can project multiple colors of light. It’s rainbow-themed and can be used in conjunction with the mirrors for some cool puzzles.
Okay, that’s all nice, but here’s where it starts getting a bit sketchy… Some of the story details seem about right, while others don’t really line up or are too good to be true. Read on to find out what I mean:
More Story Spoilers
Ghirahim believes using Zelda and her harp will suffice to break the seal, but it turns out he needs the Goddess Sword as well.
He blackmails Link by threatening to kill Zelda if he does not relinquish the sword (which by this point is the Master Sword).
The sword succeeds in freeing the demon king, who immediately turns his anger upon Ghirahim. As he fades away, the three points on his cape point to the sky and form a trident, which the demon king snatches and disappears with.
