Ryūji Kobayashi. Player Design Lead in Skyward Sword.
Akiko Hirono. NPC Designer in Skyward Sword.
QUOTE:
Hirono/Kobayashi*: [In Skyward Sword, Zelda] isn’t a princess, So the first thing we did was remove any sort of regal ornamentation from her head.
Afterward, her look was much too simple… We wanted her to look like a typical village girl, but we also wanted to establish her as a heroine at the same time, so this is what we decided upon. Her outfit is a pretty sky blue, and compared to previous iterations, we went with a dress that was more red than purple. We had a director who requested Goddess Zelda be dressed “simply, and in white.”

You and me
Let's start a new day Starting Over
You and me
Let's start a new day Starting Over
English
Starting Over
We felt like we could do anything
The innocent us craving for the future
We understand how hard it is to make it
That was when we became a little more mature
Even though we wanted to look away
That day we were crying and crying
Talking about the dream we can't give up
Even just a little, we were looking for hope
Once again we start to walk blindly
The dream may still be a dream this time
We may don't have enough strength
But this feeling won't stop
No matter how many times we will go together
Seems like things just don't work (No No No)
Sometimes tears about to fall as we are so happy (Take It Easy)
Such a strange balance for you and for me (So Good)
Even it is painful it will be a support to be believed tomorrow (Never Mind)
It is not bad if we can laugh again someday
This moment is painful, it's painful, just cry if you want to
It's alright to cry since we can't make it
Don't be afraid as things are surely gonna be alright
No matter how many times, we can start all over again
You don't have to force yourself to laugh
You also don't have to find hope forcibly
Be yourself, it's okay to be as it is
My light will be shine, and also yours
If you extend your hands, you will reach it for sure
My chest is swelled up in the hope
This is surely not a misunderstanding
If you decide to give up, the game is over, so
going on going on keep on dreaming
Let's continue drawing together
That day we were crying and crying
Talking about the dream we can't give up
Even just a little, we were looking for hope
Once again we start to walk blindly
Can the now us fully laugh?
Are you going to wipe your tears tomorrow for sure?
Don't rush your own pace
I and you, let's start together again!
The dream may still be a dream this time
We may don't have enough strength
But this feeling won't stop
No matter when it is, we look forward together
Keep seeking for our own light
Let's create a shining future together!
The stamina bar in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is included to encourage a greater pace to combat, as well as provide a greater sense of limited action when completing puzzles and movement challenges. By providing a limited stamina bar that refills over time, it discourages players from wailing on enemies endlessly or just holding out until the right “moment” emerges. This pushes players to really take on the motion controls of the game as a whole, and quickly adjust the to the pace of play overall.
