Any fan of Zelda who owns a Wii will be wondering when Skyword Sword will be released, sadly we don’t have an exact release date, however we can confirm that it will launch this holiday season.

It was also revealed that the MotionPlus controller will be used for Zelda’s sword, if you do not have a Wii MotionPlus controller a special Zelda controller is being released which had built-in MotionPlus, you can find out more about this controller here

Some people were wondering whether the game would also be coming out on the recently revealed Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime has refuted this by saying that “Skyward Sword was built to be played with a Wii controller”, which makes a lot of sense to us, you can find out a little more about this over at VG247.

Hopefully soon we will hear details regarding a solid Skyward Sword release date, when we do we will keep you informed.

The company announced that to mark the occassion, they will be sending their Nintendo orchestra around the world with a series of concerts to mark the occasion. Those of you who watched the event last night would have seen the orchestra play some classic Zelda themes and jingles, so the idea of seeing them live in your country will be a great idea.

On the game side of things, there will be re-releases for Zelda: Link’s Awakening on the Virtual Console, available right now. This will be followed up by the Ocarina of Time 3DS release next week, Zelda Four Swords for the DS / DSi sometime in September and then finally Zelda Skyward Sword after that for the Nintendo Wii and recently announced Wii U console. It’s worth pointing out that Four Swords will be a free download, so look out for that.

Skyward Sword will be releasing with a special addition golden Wiimote to mark the anniversary, while Nintendo also unveiled plans to release two audio CDs for fans, which will contain a selection of themes from the franchise for you to enjoy.

All in all, it was a great way to kick off Nintendo’s E3 conference, although we’re a little bit disappointed that there isn’t a remake for Link to the Past, as the classic SNES game remains the finest Zelda game to date in my opinion. Maybe it’s still planned though for the future, let’s wait and see.

What did you make of the Zelda 25th Anniversary celebrations? We’ve added the announcement video for you below, enjoy!

While there is not currently a lot of information floating about on the new game MyNintendoNews confirm that it will be called The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword and is rumored to be released in October this year due to a reference in the latest Official Nintendo Magazine.

The game has been announced for a while but there was never a word on the release date, obviously we mustn’t take this rumor to seriously just yet, however we very much doubt that the Official Nintendo Magazine would get something like this wrong.

We imagine that more information will come to light soon, when we hear more we will keep you up-to-date on the situation. You can watch the game’s official trailer here, will you buy Skyward Sword on its release date?

As we mentioned earlier, the game will be compatible with both the Wii Mote and MotionPlus accessory and controlling Link is a completely new experience thanks to the added sensitivity within MotionPlus.

For example, you’ll now be able to roll and throw bombs using body gestures with the Wii Mote, and the MotionPlus also brings new capabilities to the Slingshot weapon and Whip.

Nintendo also gave us a look at the new menu system featured in the game, as you’ll now find it easy to scroll between weapons using Wii MotionPlus.

Check out the E3 teaser trailer below and let us know your thoughts on the game. Are you impressed with Skyward Sword or not?

As taken from Nintendo’s E3 keynote in Los Angeles, the new title for the game is Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword. As you would expect, the game is a complete step up from the last Wii Zelda game, and this one will feature tight user control with the Wii Mote combined with MotionPlus.

Here is the important bit. Nintendo announced that the game will release sometime in 2011. This could be a disappointment to those who were expecting it to land at the end of the year.

We were impressed with what we saw though, and I’m sure you will be too. We don’t mind waiting for this. We’ll bring you full details on the game and a trailer soon. Let us know your thoughts on this.
