New Skyward Sword Screenshots, Artwork and Details

written by Crono

The official Nintendo website has provided a lot of new Zelda Skyward Sword media including screenshots, videos and artwork. We already provided the new trailer, so here are all the new Skyward Sword images! These new screens show off brand new details from the game, such as the mysterious enemy Link faces and a look at Link’s new sword! Along with these new images, Nintendo reveals more of the storyline and game details, which can be shown below the screenshots.












One of the most storied franchises in history soars to new heights. The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward Sword shakes up the tried-and-true adventure game formula and marks a turning point for the franchise. The introduction of full motion controls enabled by Wii MotionPlus™ technology synchronizes player movements with Link’s actions while offering the most intuitive play control of any game in the series to date.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword boasts the most realistic sword combat of any game to date, turning every encounter into a challenge of both brains and brawn. Wii MotionPlus technology accurately translates the angle of every sword slice, effectively putting Link’s blade in the player’s hand. Analyzing enemy attack and defense tendencies and counteracting with precise swings of the sword provide a satisfying experience that blends puzzle-solving with a new and distinctly unique combat system.

Explore a massive, multilayered world that seamlessly blends soaring exploration in a sea of clouds with intense ground-based adventuring that blurs the line between the main world and traditional Zelda dungeons. Link™ soars through the skies on the back of a noble bird and dives beneath the clouds to the continent below in an epic quest that lays the foundation for the events in the critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Prepare for intense puzzle-solving as only The Legend of Zelda games can deliver. Exploration of the forests, volcanoes and deserts requires players to think on their feet as they solve puzzles, overcome obstacles and escape deadly traps. Once they find their way to each dungeon, they are confronted by even more puzzles guarded by fiendish enemies.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword redefines the traditional Zelda framework and introduces an arsenal of items, upgrades and rewards unlike any game in the franchise to date. The adventure guides players into, out of and back to dungeons and areas they’ve already completed. Along the way, Link gathers a massive inventory of peculiar items and resources that can be used to upgrade many of his weapons and equipment.

    cant wait for this game. it will be interesting to see how they incorporate flying into the game, seeing as how you would probably be able to go anywhere. hopefully it will be free roam, no pick your destination and go through a sequence. if this was the case, i’d lose all hope for Nintendo. i don’t quite like the look of the bird, though the overall graphics are superb :D i’m also curious to see how this upgrade system works, personally i love some good upgrades to make me stronger, i’ve always felt that only 2 or 3 swords just wasn’t enough… it would be cool if you upgrade your shield from, say, a wooden frame to a full Hylian shield… and whats this, leading up to the events in OOT? we’ll see how this goes…
