Title Screen and First 3 Minutes of Skyward Sword
As you can guess by the title, and thanks to website Kotaku the first few minutes of Skyward Sword are now available for your viewing pleasure in a non off-screen shoot! Some of you may remember the first fifteen minutes footage from early October (which was taken down by Nintendo shortly after going online). You’ll notice a number of differences between that footage and the new, final version, footage. Those of you who saw the first fifteen minutes trailer will also be happy to see a detail that was supposed to be included only for “fun” in the demo footage made its way into the final version of the game. No super spoilers in this one, but I advise you not to look inside if you want to experience the entire game for yourself.
Fire Sanctuary, New Footage, and Full Map
Even more exciting news on Skyward Sword makes its way here today. Over the last 24 hours, even more trailers and information has been released by Nintendo. First, Reggie appeared for an interview on GTTV, during which he revealed a new trailer for Skyward Sword showcasing a lot of characters who hold a connection to “future” Zelda games. In addition, new footage showcasing the “Fire Sanctuary” has been released. Also inside you’ll find footage of the full underworld map as it appears on Nintendo’s Japanese Skyward Sword website. As always, don’t enter the article if you would rather not be spoiled. Some additional insight inside.
New Skyward Sword Footage
The footage just keeps coming! This new footage showcases exploration throughout the world below (Hyrule). As with most of the recent videos, there is a good deal of spoiler material from areas of the game, the music, etc. I will say that this footage in particular is the first to showcase gameplay in the Silent Realm to the general public. Enjoy!

Edge Magazine Awards Skyward Sword 10/10 & the first UK Comercial
Following the news of Skyward Sword’s 98/100 from ONM, another magazine has revealed its review score. Edge Magazine, notorious for its critical reviews, has awarded Skyward Sword a 10/10, the first time a Zelda game has received the honor since Ocarina of Time (and one of only 14 games to ever be rated 10/10 in Edge’s nearly 20 years of publication). The newest issue of Edge goes on sale October 25th.
Also available is the first commercial in the United Kingdom for Skyward Sword, which premiered at the Joystick Awards. Click the read more link for the footage. Some great new footage and a fantastic score! Get excited!
First 15 Minutes of Skyward Sword Gameplay!
ULTRA-Major_SPOILERS!
Filmed at a private Zelda 25th party in Germany, Nintendo showcased a private hands-on with Skyward Sword to attendees. The film in this presentation, created by NiTENDOMiNATiON, showcases the first fifteen minutes of actual gameplay. Note that the game is still running off the development hardware (as evident by the button bar at the top) which also means Nintendo has yet to begin printing disks (also that some adjustments may still be done prior to release).
Again, although the game is still “in development”, this likely is just about what you will experience during the first fifteen minutes of the game. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
English Intro Revealed
IGN just posted the official English translation of the opening of Skyward Sword. Again, do not watch if you would rather not be spoiled. Enjoy!
