I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these images are from the iPhone version, though the two games shouldn’t differ drastically.

Unsurprisingly, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will place a big focus on a musical instrument. Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask featured an ocarina, Wind Waker sported a conductor’s baton, and Twilight Princess had… grass.

While Skyward Sword’s instrument is a secret for now, some fans believe Link will play a lyre based on some snippet of footage captured for the game’s GDC trailer. Mahito Yokota is keeping everything a secret for now, though he did elaborate a bit on the Skyward Sword’s music in the latest Iwata Asks.

Iwata: May I also ask about the sound of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for the Wii console?

Yokota: (happily) Ooh, can we talk about that, too?!

Iwata: Today, we’re talking about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, but it’s also the twenty-fifth anniversary of The Legend of Zelda.

This information comes from IGN’s Rich George on Twitter…

“Might have been a bit optimistic in hearing statement from Nintendo today. Should still happen but… it’s getting late. Patience! …@Chadboban If I don’t get it in the next hour or so, I’m thinking it doesn’t arrive until tomorrow or even Wednesday. Eh just give it time. Maybe tomorrow, maybe Wednesday. Shows they’re giving it thought though, which is good.”

I really don’t understand what’s happening with this situation. Is Nintendo of America just providing a simple statement to IGN? I doubt that IGN would even be able to obtain an exclusive announcement about any of these games, but still… argh! If only Nintendo would ease our minds by at least confirming Xenoblade!

We started to see some of Zelda’s personality in Skyward Sword during this year’s E3. This time around, she’s more of a childhood friend rather than a damsel in distress.

Shigeru Miyamoto seems to be liking the direction the development team is taking Zelda. In the latest Iwata Asks, Miyamoto expressed his belief that she’s “pretty good”. Unfortunately, that’s all he was willing to say!

Miyamoto: Yeah. By the way, Princess Zelda in the next one is pretty good! (laughs)

Iwata: You mean in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword?

Miyamoto: Yes.

Iwata: I’ll be sure to ask about that when the time comes.

Miyamoto: Yes, absolutely!

This information comes from Asssassin’s Creed: Revelations developer Brent Ashe…

“That hardware [Wii U] is interesting because, now it’s going to be in HD and wrapping that in with their control scheme – I’m curious to see where that goes.”

Just as a sidenote, Ubisoft Quebec is working on Assassin’s Creed Wii U. Ubisoft Montreal has been the main studio behind the franchise (and I assume that’s where Ashe comes from), though I do believe Quebec has chipped in a bit. From what I understand, Quebec is handling their first, true Assassin’s Creed on their own, so it should be interesting to see how the game turns out.
