This information comes from Nintendo’s roundtable event at E3…
– Links finds out there is a land below the clouds, but it’s controlled by evil forces
– When he finds out about this, a few things happens and he descends from the clouds
– Link is a boy who lives in Skyloft
– Skyloft is above the clouds
– Scene at the end of the trailer intended to be “impactful” since it’s important to the game’s story
– Miyamoto couldn’t make sure the game would be released this year, so he’s taking him time to make sure everything is right instead
– Team needs to add a few more dungeons, but it’s mostly complete
– Skyward Sword has intelligence, will take on the form shown in the art last year
– The Skyward Sword will become the Master Sword
– Sky very important
– Clouds banks “very impactful”
– Highlighted the cloud banks with the game’s art style
– Miyamoto was very big on the game’s art style
– Cezanne art influenced the game
– Players need to pay attention to enemies now
– Aonuma: “If we had kept the Twilight Princess art style, we’d be done already!”
– The traditional structure of Zelda games will be different in Skyward Sword
– Will have different clothes
– Easier to go select items/clothes, though it’s a bit different than past titles
– New pointing system that uses MotionPlus, can be compared to a 3D mouse
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.”
