Nintendo Reveal New Characters and Story Details for the Upcoming Wii Game, The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword

The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary

(PRWEB) October 12, 2011

Nintendo has revealed new details about the introductory storyline and gameplay in The Legend of Zeldaâ„¢: Skyward Sword, which will launch across Europe exclusively for Wiiâ„¢ on 18th November 2011. The enhanced motion controls of the Wii Remoteâ„¢ Plus (or Wii Remote controller with a Wii MotionPlusâ„¢ accessory) and Nunchukâ„¢ controller allow for deeply immersive puzzle-solving challenges in this latest addition to the iconic Zelda franchise.
This new game â€" one of the biggest in the history of Nintendo software development â€" will also feature new story elements that lay the foundation for the events that occur in the rest of the series. This includes the creation of the Master Sword, an ancient and powerful weapon that has been a constant in the 25-year history of the Zelda series. The introductory storyline includes the following:

Introduction: The new game's storyline begins in Skyloft, an island town suspended high in the sky, on the day before young Linkâ„¢ is to compete in a major bird-flying competition. The winner of the contest will earn the honour of taking part in a special ceremony with Zeldaâ„¢.

Link and Zelda: Friends since childhood, Link and Zelda have always shared a special bond. Events in the new game will add even more depth to their relationship.

Groose: Link's nemesis at school, Groose, plays a significant role in the early moments of the new game. This bully of a character not only threatens Link's chances to win the bird-flying competition, but he also reveals a jealous streak toward Link and Zelda's special bond.

Fi: Early on in Link's new adventure, he encounters Fi, the spirit of the powerful Goddess Sword. Fi's guidance proves to be crucial as Link goes forth on a challenging quest that will ultimately result in the creation of the Master Sword.

Zelda's father: Gaepora, Zelda's father, is the headmaster of Link's school. As such, he has knowledge of the history and legends of Skyloft. Nintendo will continue to provide fans with select details and information about the game prior to its 18th November launch across Europe.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will be available as a limited edition bundle, featuring a copy of the game, a CD featuring selected orchestral arrangements from the The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony performance and a rare gold-coloured Wii Remote Plus controller bearing the Hylian Crest. Pre-order* now to avoid disappointment and to secure your copy.
