Episode 4 from season 3 of Legend of Neil entitled 40 Acres and a Zol is now online! You can watch the new episode below.

In a recent interview between Eiji Aonuma and Official Nintendo Magazine, the Legend of Zelda series director has revealed even more details of Skyward Sword and Ocarina of Time DS. Important key notes revealed about Skyward Sword are : Link’s arsenal (old and new items, etc), returning characters, a mean of transportation is hinted at, the timeline (confirming where SS takes place again) and if this new game will be a major reboot for the Zelda series.

ONM: Is the range of weapons more diverse?
EA: Of course some of the old items are back – things like the slingshot – but I really think that people will play this with MotionPlus and the items will almost feel new because of the technology. But of course if you look on the weapons menu you will see a couple of question marks – those are new items that aren’t available [in old Zelda games].

Check out the brand new Legend of Neil episode from season 3, Fairyhood.

GamesCom has officially started and it looks like nothing new is being shown of Skyward Sword versus what was shown at E3 2010. Honestly though, Nintendo tends to promote their games much closer to release date, which means we probably won’t be seeing any major updates or trailers until the fall or winter. Nevertheless, we’ll update this post with Skyward Sword related news throughout the day so be sure to bookmark this page.

Official Nintendo Magazine has provided the Nintendo line-up for next week’s GamesCom (August 18th). Included in that list is Legend of Zelda : Skyward Sword. It is unknown at this point what exactly Nintendo will showcase this time around, if anything new will be shown at all. We could very much just see a repeat of what was shown during E3 2010. Never know though, Nintendo could surprise everyone with a brand new trailer. Be sure to stay tuned to ZC for coverage on this event.

GamesRadar has posted their very own preview of Legend of Zelda : Skyward Sword. You can read it below.

It’s the unspoken star of The Legend of Zelda. A silent hero who has clashed with villainy in thousands of forms. Whose steely gaze has sought out more glowing weak spots than you could wave a Deku stick at. Who has travelled through lava, brine, time and dimensional vortexes without dulling. Who has absorbed more elfin palm sweat than can be decent. It is, of course, the Master Sword. And it… is a she. Whoa. If we’d known, we wouldn’t have spent years jamming her up monster guts. Sorry, ma’am. And in Skyward Sword, she’s about to get the respect she deserves.
