Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Guides, Tips, And Tricks Roundup

Like any game in the Legend of Zelda franchise, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is brimming with secrets to find. The game world is huge, spanning both a massive surface world and several floating islands in the sky, and mixed across both are collectibles that can aid you in your journey. While some of those items are hidden in the corners of the world or require you to revisit locations you’ve already seen once you have new items, you’ll also need to interact with the game’s various characters and help them solve their problems if you want to reach 100% completion.

Apart from that, though, Skyward Sword is unique among Zelda games because of its original focus on motion controls and other mechanical flourishes. While some of those ideas have popped up in other games, they don’t quite come together in the same way as in Skyward Sword–and that means you’ll need to develop some new skills to handle the game’s control scheme and puzzles. We’ve put together a whole mess of guides to help you on your quest as the Goddess’s chosen hero, covering side quests, Goddess Cubes, Pieces of Heart, and the iconic Hylian Shield.

Don’t forget to also check out our Skyward Sword HD review to see how it stacks up to the original Wii version.

Skyward Sword requires a different set of skills for Legend of Zelda players, whether you’re new to the franchise or a veteran of fighting Ganon. It’s also a game that can bog you down in non-essential content, especially early on, that kills the flow of the game. Our tips will get you into your adventure quicker, keep you alive longer, and help you overcome Skyward Sword’s unique puzzles and challenges.

Every Zelda game is littered with collectible Pieces of Heart that allow you to boost your health pool, survive tougher combat, and become a real hero of legend. But those hearts aren’t easy to come by, and you’ll have to scour the world to locate them all. We take the pain out of checking every single corner and nook of Skyward Sword with a complete rundown of how you can max out Link’s health as you play.

Goddess Cube Locations

Seek out Goddess Cubes and the treasure chests they unlock in Skyloft to earn great upgrades and a whole lot of Rupees.

Some of the best rewards in Skyward Sword require you to complete two steps to gather them: First, you’ll need to find and activate a special Goddess Cube on the surface, then you’ll need to return to Skyloft and locate the chest each cube unlocks. We’ve got a full rundown of where you can find each cube, what you need to reach it, and where you’ll find the chest when you return to the sky.

Watch Snake Eyes Star Henry Golding Play Fortnite As Snake Eyes

The coolest G.I. Joe character, Snake Eyes, is finally getting his own movie in just over a week. More importantly, though, Snake Eyes is getting a Fortnite skin, so it only makes sense that Henry Golding, who plays the character in Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, would sit down to play a few rounds as himself.

Streamed yesterday, Henry Golding joined streamers Fuslie and Brooke AB for a 40-minute session that had each of them suiting up as the cartoon ninja to play a few rounds of Epic’s smash-hit game. While they played, the trio were tasked with answering trivia questions. The first round, “Name That Joe” had them answering questions like “This Joe was a member of a band with his two brothers;” the second, “Snake or Fake,” asked them to discern between real and pretend names of various snake species. Golding also talked about the training he went through before the film, including working with a Japanese trainer to get the hang of the katana.

Golding seems comfortable at the mouse and keyboard throughout the video, though he does better with trivia than frags; the endless string of friend requests popping up over the action probably didn’t help any.

Snake Eyes hits theaters on July 23. Ahead of that, make sure to check out the first and second trailers for the film, and to check out our coverage of G.I. Joe toys including, yes, Snake Eyes.

Major Jungle Cruise Changes At Disneyland Make For A Better Ride

The Jungle Cruise is an iconic ride at California’s Disneyland. In fact, it’s one of the park’s original attractions, dating back to opening day on July 17, 1955. Now, as it celebrates its 66th birthday, the ride is relaunching on July 16 with a massive makeover just as a Jungle Cruise movie is set to hit theaters and Disney+ premiere access.

The new Jungle Cruise isn’t necessarily inspired by the film, though there are nods to it for fans to check out. Instead, Walt Disney Imagineering has given the ride a series of upgrades, implementing a storyline, several new scenes, an army of new animals causing some serious chaos, and the removal of certain characters that were culturally insensitive–notably the spear-carrying “natives” and Trader Sam.

The new ride experience starts as you walk up to it. An updated sign features boat oars in place of the old spears. From there, guests move into the queue, which not only includes Easter eggs from the Jungle Cruise movie (keep an eye out for costume items worn by Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt in the film) but also introduces the new lore of the ride.

No Caption Provided

Historically, there is one character name associated with the Jungle Cruise, and that’s Dr. Albert Falls (namesake of the ride’s Schweitzer Falls). “We realized that Dr. Albert Falls has a granddaughter named Alberta, who could become the new proprietor of the Jungle Navigation Company,” Walt Disney Imagineering creative director Susana Tubert revealed during a media event, adding that in the canon of the ride, Alberta’s mother is an artist from India and her father is a British scholar. “So Alberta has this benefit that she’s traveled all over the world. She’s very cultural, she’s very worldly, and she’s made a lot of friends.”

In the story being told on the ride, those friends have now come to visit Alberta, leaving trinkets that hint to their personalities throughout the line queue. They end up going on a Jungle Cruise themselves, though, and naturally things go very wrong.

It’s important to note that, for the most part, the first half of the ride remains unchanged. You’re still seeing the same animal scenes–including the “sleeping” zebra–and getting the same pun-filled dialogue from your skippers. As you get into the second half of the ride, though, the new Jungle Cruise shines through. The lost safari party being chased up a tree by a rhino has been replaced by Alberta’s friends stuck in that predicament. How did they end up out of their boat and in a tree? That’s revealed next, as a group of fun-loving monkeys has seemingly crashed the boat and are now playing with the supplies they found on-board as the ship goes down.

You can check out the photos above for a better look. This is the most exciting part of the new take on the ride. The boat crash takes up two scenes, while another sees monkeys playing with butterflies they’ve discovered in a shipment. This is one scene that will be different at Walt Disney World’s new take on the Jungle Cruise when it opens later this summer; it was revealed during the media event that in Florida, the monkeys can be found eating some of the butterflies.

The final major change comes at the end of the ride when you reach Trader Sam’s lost and found stand, where the character has been removed from the ride. Per Imagineering, he’s off collecting new goods to sell back to guests after rebranding the lost and found a gift shop. In his place, more monkeys are running the store, snapping photos, and having too much fun playing with the goods Sam has left behind.

Unfortunately, this isn’t an actual gift shop and the ride photos being taken aren’t real. Still, it’s an entertaining way to welcome guests back to the dock, putting a nice finishing touch on the new experience.

In all, the revamped version of Jungle Cruise puts the focus on the animals and all of the fun they seem to be having at the expense of people silly enough to get lost in their natural habitat. “What’s fun is that by the end of the ride the guests and the skipper have realized that, in reality, it’s the animals that get the last laugh,” Tubert said. “That’s the twist to our story.”

The Jungle Cruise reopens at Disneyland on July 16. The ride will then re-debut at Walt Disney World later this summer.

Black Widow Writer Didn’t Know Who Yelena’s Target Would Be In The Post Credits Scene

If you watch comic book movies at all, chances are you’ve seen dozens of interviews with stars of the dozens of Marvel Studios films and noticed how tight-lipped they are (except Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo). Even the people writing the films are often kept in the dark about certain this, revealed Black Widow writer Eric Pearson in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Spoilers follow for Black Widow’s post-credits sequence.

As with so many other Marvel Studios films, Black Widow ends with a post-credits sequence that drops clues for what’s next in the MCU. In a scene set after the events of Avengers: Endgame, Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson)’s adoptive sister Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) mourns her sister at her grave site, only for her quiet moment to be interrupted by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis Dreyfuss) blowing her nose to cartoonish effect. Val then hands Yelena the photo of her next target: Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye.

Now Playing: Black Widow (2020) – Official Final Trailer

“I felt bad,” Person said. “They told me I got to [write the post-credits scene], so I was really excited I got to do a lot to shape Valentina’s personality, but they told me ‘and then at the end, this is the target.’ They were like, ‘Don’t worry about it. You don’t have to know that.’ I was like, ‘Who am I screwing over? Something is going on! I don’t have an answer for this!'”

And it isn’t because Pearson is the new kid in the MCU. In addition to writing Black Widow, he co-wrote Thor: Ragnarok and worked as a writer and story editor on ABC’s Agent Carter series.

Pearson didn’t get his answer, though. “They were like, ‘You don’t need to. We are going to figure that out.’ I remember writing it and feeling super guilty. ‘I hope whatever writer is working on this next chapter is going to be okay with what I’ve done to them.'”

The interview covers a bunch more ground about the process of writing the film, including scenes that Pearson himself had to act out with the other actors, the pronunciation of a certain European city, and working with Scarlett Johansson as the first MCU star to executive produce their own film, and is well worth the read.

The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword Zelda And Loftwing Amiibo Shipping Delayed

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD’s Zelda and Loftwing Amiibo has been hit by shipping delays, causing the majority of them to arrive sometime in August instead of on July 16. As reported by IGN, the Amiibo has been impacted by “unforeseen” issues related to shipping, resulting in only a handful of the Zelda and Loftwing Amiibo arriving on July 16 when the game releases.

The majority of the Amiibo ordered will arrive sometime in August. Nintendo of America also told IGN that this delay will not impact any other Amiibo figures. The Amiibo was originally set to release alongside Skyward Sword HD, and while normally video game merchandise shipping later than the game isn’t a big deal, this Amiibo unlocks a pretty useful mechanic in-game.

Now Playing: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Video Review

“The Zelda and Loftwing Amiibo figure is currently impacted by unforeseen shipping delays. As a result, only a small portion of the Zelda and Loftwing Amiibo will be available on its scheduled July 16 launch date,” Nintendo of America said in a statement to GameSpot. “Additional shipments are delayed until August. We will ship additional Amiibo to retailers as soon as they arrive.”

The Zelda and Skyloft Amiibo allows you to travel between the air and the ground at any time during the game. Without this feature, you can only do this at a bird statue. Locking this feature behind a $25 statue was already an odd decision, but now that the Amiibo will likely show up after players have had the game for multiple weeks, there’s a decent chance some people will have beaten the game without ever getting to use the fast travel.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD releases for Nintendo Switch on July 16. In GameSpot’s review, critic Kevin Knezevic gave it a 7/10, writing, “Despite these flaws, Skyward Sword is also filled with many genuinely magical moments. The soundtrack, notable for being Zelda’s first fully orchestrated score, is still delightful, and the story is one of the most touching tales the series has ever woven, shedding light on the origins of Hyrule and other elements that have become hallmarks of the franchise. The game’s dungeons are a highlight, as well, filled with clever puzzles that test your observation and lateral thinking.”

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Joy-Cons also release on July 16 and there is still time to get an order in for the Blue Zelda-themed controllers.

PS5 Is Getting Nature Sim Away: The Survival Series

The PS5 is getting a sugar glider-centered nature sim titled Away: The Survival Series. Players will get to assume the identities of sugar gliders–flying, leaping, and climbing like they do–and “embark on a perilous journey through the wilderness to save [their] family.” The game is expected to release sometime in late summer of 2021.

Canadian developer Breaking Wall took to PlayStation’s blog to introduce the gameplay, which includes stalking prey and coming face-to-face with the sugar gliders’ natural predators, including the Coral Snake.

Other features include a photo mode–to capture players’ exploits as an enterprising sugar glider–and the ability to play as other species. Players can take the POVs of salamanders, beetles, frogs, spiders, and more.

While the game will be available on the PS4, Breaking Wall recommends playing the game on the PS5 for maximum graphical setting, Documentary Experience. Mike Raznick, who worked on the acclaimed nature documentaries Life and Planet Earth II, will provide the music for the game.

Away: The Survival Series was funded through Kickstarter, and CA$135,789 was raised to help finish the game. The game will be available on PS5, PS4, and PC.

Loki Season Finale Questions: How Did Loki Wind Up in a New Timeline?

Warning: Full spoilers for all six Season 1 episodes of Marvel’s Loki follow…

[poilib element=”accentDivider”]

Now that the dust has settled on the mind-bending Season 1 Loki finale, which signals a major shift for the entire MCU, we’ve got a handful of questions. That’s right, the theories aren’t exactly flowing as freely following Episode 6, but in true TV cliffhanger fashion, we have a ton of stuff we want answered. Yes, the questions have been flying fast and furiously in the IGN Loki Slack channel. Especially since the events of Loki directly affect a long-running mega-movie franchise you may have heard of called the MCU.

“For All Time. Always.” ended with Sylvie, not heeding a pretty big warning about evil Variant Kangs arriving to kick off a new Multiversal War, sending Loki through a time portal and killing He Who Remains. Instead of taking He Who Remains up on his offer to dual-rule the TVA with Loki, she opted for revenge and now the entire timeline has been thrown into chaos. With MCU movies on the horizon featuring the multiverse, like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of you know what and Spider-Man: No Way Home, and also a second season of Loki, here are some big looming questions we have about the toppling of the Sacred Timeline.

And if you have your own questions, answers, or tangential theories, hit us up on the board below and let everyone know your ideas! And be sure to vote in our poll at the bottom of the page…

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/07/14/loki-episode-6-review”]

Question: Why Didn’t Mobius Know Who Loki Was?

With the timeline splintering and a new multiverse sprouting up, of course countless alternative universes now exist to explore. But where did Loki land exactly?

Sylvie sent Loki through a TemPad timedoor before she stabbed He Who Remains. The only thing is, Loki seems to have landed in a timeline other than what was previously referred to as the Sacred Timeline — one where the Mobius native to that universe doesn’t know about all the adventures the Mobius we’ve been following all season just had. Sure, there are elements here meant to trick the viewer so that it’s a surprise when Mobius doesn’t know who Loki is, but does it all line up time-wise? How fast are these new timelines created and why would that TemPad send Loki to a new one?

We could be overthinking this, since Sylvie did use He Who Remains’ special TemPad, and that could be locked into a different set of space/time rules, but it’s certainly noticeably that the Time Variance Authority reality that Loki winds up in is in the midst of dealing with the same multiversal crisis that was happening out at the Edge of Time. Mobius and Hunter B-15 are dealing with the massive calamity, so it connects to the rest of the show. The big difference is that Mobius and B-15 don’t know who Loki is and the big boss statue is now that of Kang himself.

Kang the Conqueror and... Kang the Conqueror?

So was this timeline the Sacred one at one point and then it got like a “new timeline” wash-over? One that happened even while Loki was there and searching for people? Or did Loki somehow get sent to a totally different TVA timeline?

Also, what is the rule with the TVA and the multiverse? Are there now millions of TVAs or is the TVA, by nature, exempt from this? The basics of the switcheroo make sense, and Mobius not remembering Loki was a great beat, but digging into the details, as nerdlings are wont to do, there are questions.

Question: What Were the Files He Who Remains Gave Ravonna Renslayer?

Okay, so this one is actually meant to be a full-fledged answered-later mystery, but it’s still got us stumped.

What were the new files that He Who Remains sent to Renslayer? The ones Miss Minutes remarked would be more useful to her. And then following that, where did Renslayer escape to? She told Mobius that she was off “in search of free will” even though she actually was kind of against the idea of free will. Sure, she wanted to know who was behind the TVA but she also fell in line with all of it. She convinced herself that it all had to mean something and that their work was both important and necessary.

We assume that her destination was in the files and that it was a place Kang wanted her to explore. So where is that, and what did that Kang Variant want her to find there?

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”slug=doctor-strange-in-the-multiverse-of-madness-cast&captions=true”]

Question: How Many Kang Variants Will We See Going Forward, and How Big a Villain Will Kang Be?

He Who Remains is gone, as loopy as he was being a guy who’d lived millions of lifetimes and was alone and secluded at the End of All Things. Now come different versions of him. More power-hungry versions of him that seek ultimate authority and dominion over the multiverse. Kangs that might fall more in line with the Kangs (and there are many versions) we know from the comics. So will we see all those different styles of Kang or will we focus mostly on one main evil Kang (maybe the one now running the TVA)?

Also, from an MCU standpoint, where else will Kang touch down outside of Loki: Season 2 and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania? Will he be a part of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness? Will he show up in other big MCU films? Or will he be mostly a streaming series villain who then goes into Ant-Man? We’re not used to the Ant-Man movies being big game-changers for the MCU, but maybe Quantumania will be the next Civil War/Avengers-type ensemble?

Question: Will Loki Be in Doctor Strange 2 or Thor: Love and Thunder or…

This is sort of similar to the last question, but it also goes with “When will we see Loki: Season 2?” As in, when will this specific story continue, with the Kang and Sylvie of it all, and how will it slot in with the MCU films? If they filmed Season 2 at the same time as Season 1, which is just a bouncy rumor, then maybe Season 2 will pop up at the beginning of next year, after Spider-Man: No Way Home and Miss Marvel but before Multiverse of Madness? Tom Hiddleston hasn’t been confirmed to be in any of the upcoming Marvel movies, including Thor: Love and Thunder, but at the same time it does seem weird for there to be a Thor movie and not have Loki in it…

Basically, we’re headed into huge movies in a few months that will feature the multiverse but we haven’t sorted out the Loki story yet. Will we see the symptoms before we see the actual ailment or will Loki’s arc get delivered before we dive into the movie madness of the multiverse?

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/07/09/loki-ep-5-do-these-clues-reveal-the-secret-villain-behind-the-tva-mcu-canon-fodder”]

Question: Is There a Crocodile Kang?

Perhaps the most important question of all: What kind of Kangs will we see? Will we get a Crocodile Kang and then get to watch the Alligator Loki battle we’ve always dreamed of? Or will Kang take on a different animal form (a Kang-garoo is currently an online favorite)?

Either way, a Season 2 just means more opportunity for Kid Loki and Alligator Loki to return. And now that Loki will need to scramble to find allies more than ever (unless he decides to just 50 First Dates Mobius over and over) he may have to head back into the Void for help.

Question: Was He Who Remains Meant to Embody MCU Head Kevin Feige?

Fans have also been noticing a few parallels between Jonathan Majors’ He Who Remains, a man who knows all and sees all, up to a point, and Marvel’s Chief Creative Officer Kevin Feige. For one thing, there’s the guy who’s been in charge forever, overseeing a very specific order, now looking for someone to replace him. Nothing’s official, obviously, but some wonder if this is a signal that Feige is looking to pass the torch.

Secondly, as far as the MCU itself goes, He Who Remains not knowing what happens yet makes it seem like the biggest hint, following Phases 1 through 3, that the MCU is now wild and free and ready to go to truly outlandish places. Everything was strictly wrangled and meticulously planned out up until now. He Who Remains getting killed off felt like the moment the MCU itself was “freed” and now anything can happen.

Chadwick Boseman Almost Starred in Scrapped LA Confidential 2

The late Chadwick Boseman was set to star in L.A. Confidential 2 but Warner Bros. ended up passing on the project.

This news comes by way of The Ringer, which posted a retrospective on the way neo-noirs took over the 1990s, and in it, they state that Boseman would have played a young police officer in the sequel to 1997’s L.A. Confidential. However, the movie never came to be as Warner Bros. passed on it.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/05/01/black-panther-2-reshaped-to-be-respectful-to-chadwick-boseman-ign-the-fix-entertainment”]

“A few years ago, the Oscar-winning filmmaker Brian Helgeland went to Warner Bros. with what seemed like a dynamite movie pitch: a sequel to L.A. Confidential, the 1997 Hollywood cop drama he co-wrote with director Curtis Hanson,” The Ringer writes. “Helgeland had already secured a top-tier cast, including returning Confidential costars Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce, alongside Chadwick Boseman, who’d be playing a young police officer.”

Helgeland had developed the sequel’s story with L.A. Confidential novelist James Ellroy, according to The Ringer, and it was set in the mid-1970s. Helgeland said he had worked the entire thing out, stating that “it was great,” but ultimately, Warner Bros. passed on the project.

“The studio’s veto made for a downbeat, think-what-coulda-been ending — much like the conclusion of L.A. Confidential itself,” The Ringer writes. “But the rejection is especially surprising when you consider that, 24 years ago, L.A. Confidential was one of the most beloved entries in a genre beloved by executives and audiences alike: the neo-noir.”

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/05/04/marvel-phase-4-trailer-reveals-black-panther-2-title-more-mcu-updates-ign-the-fix-entertainment”]

L.A. Confidential 2 has been making headlines as far back as 2007 when it was reported by IGN that Helgeland and Hanson were teaming up once more to make the sequel. Boseman’s involvement wasn’t known back then, however, as it seems his role was written up a few years ago.

The Ringer’s piece goes on to discuss the 1990’s fascination with the neo-noir genre and it’s well worth a read, but that doesn’t make it any less sad that we’ll never see what a sequel to L.A. Confidential starring Boseman would have looked like.

Boseman died last August, but Marvel’s What If? series will feature the actor’s final performance when it hits Disney Plus next month. Elsewhere, Marvel’s Black Panther 2 is still happening despite Boseman’s death because it’s what he would have wanted, according to director Ryan Coogler. Don’t expect a cameo from Boseman in Black Panther 2, though, as the sequel was reshaped to be respectful of the loss of Boseman.
