The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword release date

There was plenty of good news at Nintendo’s E3 press conference and a little bad. First the good, we finally got our first look at the new Wii Zelda title, The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. The bad news is that the game has slipped from its original Christmas 2010 schedule. Let’s not dwell on that too much though because, we finally saw the new Zelda.

For starters we now know that Skyward Sword for Wii is a MotionPlus only title, the add-on unit for the Wii Remote will provide greater accuracy and more realistic sword fighting and archery skills. Next up are the graphics, everyone was wondering if we’d see another Realistic Zelda or more Toon Shading. Turns out we have both; the adult Link from Twilight Princess returns in a colourful but not garish cell shaded world. I’m quite excited by this hybrid of Wind Waker Twilight Princes. I can’t wait for the Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword release date of Quarter 1 2010.
