Zelda: Skyward Sword bevat item upgrade-systeem

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword zal een systeem bevatten waarmee je items kunt upgraden, zo maakte Bill Trinen van Nintendo of America vandaag bekend in een interview met GameSpot. Link zal bijvoorbeeld meerdere schilden kunnen krijgen. Zijn basisschild kan hij upgraden met items die hij krijgt na gevechten, in combinatie met rupees.

“What I can say, though, is what we have done with the game this time that I think a little bit different is…they’ve built an entire upgrade system into the game,” aldus Trinen. “So for example, right now you can see that Link has his traditional shield, but he actually will get a lot of different shields in the game.”

“He will start off with a very basic one, and then as you fight enemies, you will recover kind of these treasures or artefacts that you can then use as resources to upgrade your items. And you can do that with your shield, you can do that with the beetle, and some of the other items that you have where you’re able to kind of combine your collection of rupees and your collection of resources and improve the items that you have."
