To celebrate the occasion, we&#8217;ve devoted 24 pages of our October issue to honoring Zelda&#8217;s past and looking forward to its future.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning with a look back, we have a 14-page run-down of every major Zelda release up to this point. We&#8217;ve split this retrospective into a series of personal essays explaining why each of these legendary games mattered to us. After this history lesson, you can dig in to a 10-page exclusive hands-on with Skyward Sword, Nintendo&#8217;s upcoming Wii swan song. We spent six hours playing portions of the game that have never been seen such as the mysterious Silent Realm, experienced brand new gameplay mechanics including flying and dowsing, and spoke with long-time series creator Eiji Aonuma about how Zelda is evolving for the future. All of this info and more awaits in the new issue, and we&#8217;ll have a whole month of online coverage to back it up, including exclusive videos of Skyward Sword and a ton of fun features paying homage to 25 years of Zelda adventures.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/b\/news\/archive\/2011\/09\/07\/october-cover-revealed-the-safdlegend-of-zelda-skyward-sword1235dda.aspx\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is actually a pretty big deal!
