Miyamoto: Zelda: Skyward Sword almost complete

The word delay goes hand in hand with Zelda games. It almost seems like a surefire thing that all Zelda console releases will suffer at least one delay. Skyward Sword has met that same fate, though it doesn’t seem like the game is too far off. According to Shigeru Miyamoto, the title is almost complete and the team is currently working on polishing the graphics. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will be released some time next year.

“Particularly now with what we’re showing [at E3] the gameplay is very complete. You’re starting to see what the visual style will look like. We have a few more dungeons and very challenging bosses to complete. Gameplay structure is so complete and we’ll be able to put it together relatively quickly. But we could not be entirely, 100 per cent confident we would get it done before the end of the year, so we’ve said we need ‘up to the end of the year’ for development.”
