Nintendo today has opened up their treasure trove of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword assets. The company has released three new videos, the first is an opening trailer, the second a sword tutorial, and the last is romance in nature. Thirty new screenshots were also made available and can be seen in the gallery below the videos. A few story details have been revealed in addition to all the new assets:
• Introduction: The new game’s storyline begins in Skyloft, an island town suspended high in the sky, on the day before young Link is to compete in a major bird-flying competition. The winner of the contest will earn the honor of taking part in a special ceremony with Zelda.
• Link and Zelda: Friends since childhood, Link and Zelda have always shared a special bond. Events in the new game will add even more depth to their relationship.
• Groose: Link’s nemesis at school, Groose, plays a significant role in the early moments of the new game. This bully of a character not only threatens Link’s chances to win the bird-flying competition, but he also reveals a jealous streak toward Link and Zelda’s special bond.
• Fi: Early on in Link’s new adventure, he encounters Fi, the spirit of the powerful Goddess Sword. Fi’s guidance proves to be crucial as Link goes forth on a challenging quest that will ultimately result in the creation of the Master Sword.
• Zelda’s father: Gaepora, Zelda’s father, is the headmaster of Link’s school. As such, he has knowledge of the history and legends of Skyloft.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will be available November 20th.

I get more excited by the day! There seem to be lots of new NPC characters, and they all look remarkable~ However, I think y’all are holding out on us. The screenshot fourth before last has a different thumbnail than the actual image.
P.S. Everybody with a 3DS should check the eShop for a free Four Sword download!
