The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

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 to the series enabled by Wii

MotionPlus™ technology enhances player movements while offering the most

intuitive play control of any game in the series to date.

FEATURES:

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.

Every copy in the initial production of the game will come packaged

with a special music CD featuring orchestral arrangements of select

songs that will be performed at The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary

Symphony Concert.

A Wii Remote Plus™ controller or Wii MotionPlus™ accessory is required

to play The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. There will also be

a limited edition bundle version of the game available, with a Gold

Wii Remote Plus™ controller included. LEARN
