17th August 2011 - Every legend has a beginning, and now the time has come for you to soar to new heights to discover how it all began when the next instalment of one of the most critically-acclaimed epic action adventure series of all time, The Legend of Zelda, comes exclusively to Wii. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is coming to Europe on 18th November 2011 and as a special treat to fans old and new, Nintendo is making available to download for free The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords this September on Nintendo DSiWare as part of the The Legend of Zelda 25th year anniversary celebrations.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword lays the foundation for the events in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which is frequently cited as one of the greatest video games of all time, and allows players to guide Link on his journey through a multi-layered world that seamlessly blends intense ground-based adventuring with breathtaking exploration above the clouds. Glide through the skies on the back of a majestic bird and dive through the clouds to the continent below exclusively using Wii MotionPlus technology for the first time in a Zelda game. This new and epic quest is set against a backdrop of a distinctly unique graphical art style and boasts a soundtrack which features beautifully orchestrated music within the game.
