RECOMMENDED: THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: SKYWARD SWORD
NINTENDO’S most beloved franchise makes its triumphant return to consoles.
After a number of successful handheld quests, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Swordis Link’s first Wii adventure since Twilight Princess, which debuted alongside the Wii in 2006.
Now, gamers can return to the land of Hyrule in the most immersive Zeldato date. Using the Wii MotionPlus add-on, Skyward Sword grants fans direct, one-to-one control over their sword, bow, boomerang and more. Every strike, every shot and every motion will depend on the player’s skill. “The Legend of Zelda: Skyward
Swordshakes up the tried-and-true adventure game formula and marks a turning point for the franchise,” says Nintendo’s UK junior product manager Roger Langford. “The introduction of full motion controls enabled by Wii MotionPlus technology synchronises player movements with Link’s actions while offering the most intuitive play control in the series to date.”
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT Skyward Swordtakes Link and Zelda on a brand new quest that sets up the events of the critically acclaimed Ocarina of Time. The pair start in the mystical Skyloft, a town that floats above the cloud. When Zelda is kidnapped, Link must scour the world below in order to rescue her. His journey will take him through deep forests, across scorching deserts and into the series’ trademark puzzle-laden dungeons. Nintendo also says it is the biggest Zeldato date.
As if the substance of this new
Zeldagame wasn’t enough, Skyward Sword is a beautiful game. It is presented in a glorious watercolour-esque art style, blending the cel shading of The Wind Wakerand the realism of Twilight Princess.
