E3 2010: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword announced and demoed for Wii

The next Zelda game is finally titled, and its cel-shaded with Adult Link. Due out next year.

This morning at the Nintendo E3 Press Conference Nintendo has taken the wraps off of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword; the game is a cel-shaded game with full MotionPlus controls. However, unlike in The Wind Waker, Adult Link is still the star. Miyamoto, with the help of Bill Trinnen demoed off a few of the games weapons on stage. It didnt all go according to plan and the demo was cut short it seems. The game features great sword controls thanks to MotionPlus but it is also taken further with being able to throw and roll bombs, use the Bow and Arrow like in Wii Sports Resort and use the Nunchuck as your Shield.

Well get better impressions of the game from the floor no doubt as Wi-Fi issues caused errors with the MotionPlus which now takes over the controls for the pointer. There was not a lot of the game shown, no details about the story – just that its set in Hyrule.

The game has been announced for release in 2011. Well have more media and hands on impressions for you as soon as possible.
