New Details – The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword
The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword is looking to be the most exciting Zelda title to date. Nintendo has shared some new details on the game’s development, along with new footage showcasing many fresh ideas.
Nintendo is pulling out all the stops in honor of the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda™. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword launches Nov. 20 and represents one of the deepest and richest experiences ever produced by Nintendo. More than 100 staff members have been working for five years to produce the epic story, which includes a new approach to game play and more than 100 minutes of cinematic cut scenes. The game also will feature a boss challenge mode and, for players who need assistance, optional hint movies to help them along.
In honor of the 25th anniversary, Nintendo is offering a free classic game for a limited time. The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition will be available to download between Sept. 28, 2011, and Feb. 20, 2012. Fans can download the Nintendo DSiWare™ version of the game using their Nintendo DSi™ or Nintendo DSi XL™ systems, or by accessing the Nintendo eShop with a Nintendo 3DS system (wireless broadband Internet access is required for download). The game allows up to four players who have downloaded the game to play cooperatively and has also been enhanced with a new single-player mode. Unlike the original, all multiplayer game play is handled wirelessly. Once players finish the main quest, they will unlock new stages and abilities to expand the game’s replay value.
Fans of Nintendo’s downloadable games will be getting a special Zelda treat as well. Between Oct. 3, 2011, and Feb. 20, 2012, select retailers will carry limited-edition cards highlighting the series’ 25th anniversary. The Nintendo 3DS Prepaid Card, which is used in the Nintendo eShop of the Nintendo 3DS system, features an image of Link™ battling Ganon. The Nintendo Points Card, which can be used in the Wii Shop Channel or Nintendo DSi Shop, shows Link flying high in a scene from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
This game is going to be epic.
The best Zelda to date i just know it….I love Zelda so much that im getting the collectors edition.
I promised I wouldn’t spoil myself any further after seeing this video, because there’s just SO MUCH DANG CONTENT IN IT!!! I saw too many things to count, potential references to previous games, gorgeous areas, new physics, etc.
But overall, I think the thing that warmed my heart the most was the appearance of Beadle.
oooOOOOhhh!

That one scene at 1:38 reminds me of Mario Sunshine.
I like trains.
