One of my most anticipated games of this years E3 event had to be The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. The trailer that Nintendo showed off at the event showed that the game is set to be a fantastic swan song to the Wii’s illustrious career. Sadly we don’t know too much about the games storyline but thankfully Zelda Informer has revealed some interesting titbits regarding precisely that.

“Link and Zelda live in the land of Skyloft, high above the surface world below. One day Link participates in a birdriding competition as part of a festival celebration. The winner of the competition gets a prize from Zelda. After winning the prize, Link takes Zelda out on a date and flies her over the clouds on his bird (okay, so the game’s probably less ‘high school’ about it, but I figure this gets the point across). That’s when disaster strikes. A giant tornado appears, sucking Zelda down to the surface world. Link gets charged with rescuing her and receives his traditional green garb as well as the titular Skyward Sword. It’s at this point that we meet the sword’s spirit companion, Phi – she’ll guide Link as he journeys across the surface to rescue Zelda. From there, Link travels down to the surface and enters the Sky Temple (the demo dungeon), where he suspects Zelda is hidden. After fighting through the traps, he encounters Ghirahim, the Demon Lord who rules the surface realm, who states that he and his tribe – yes, he’s not alone – are after Zelda. You duel him, he escapes, and the adventure continues from there.”
