A couple of new items were revealed in Nintendo’s press release. The first of these were the Digging Mitts, which let Link dig up certain parts of the ground in order to find hidden items.

The following section contains spoilers for the story. After battling Ghirahim in the game’s first temple, Link travels to a new location, Eldin Volcano. Here, he meets with the Mogma, a subterranean race that inhabits the volcano.

The story for this game is looking very cool, and I can’t wait to see more, but at the same time I don’t want to watch.
very cool! can’t wait till the game comes out!
I’m going to cryogenically freeze myself until SS comes out. Thanks for posting! Pretty stoked about skydiving Link and their bringing back the Deku leaf thing. I know people have complained about the graphics, but cell-shaded graphics stand the test of time better than the “realistic” graphics, and I think they found a really great balance. Looks beautiful!
