At an E3 roundtable discussion earlier today, Nintendoâs Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma revealed a bit more information on the newest game in the Zelda series, Skyward Sword.

CASTLE IN THE SKY â In a first for the franchise, Link isnât raised in a village. At least, not one on the ground. Heâs instead from the land of Skyloft, a floating island in the sky. Link only âdiscoversâ the land below later in life, and finds it overrun by evil. He thus spends the game going between his home in the clouds and the land below (hence the âcloud jumpâ in the gameâs trailer).

NEW MAPS â Acknowledging that previous maps in the Zelda series havenât been all they could be, series director Aonuma promises that Skywardâs will be easier to follow, and wonât leave you as lost as those in other Zelda games.
DOUBLE CONTROL â Similar to Red Steel 2, Skyward will use both the MotionPlus and Wii sensor bar to track your movements, meaning that even if you point the Remote away from the screen, the game will still know where you are.
BOOMING SOUNDTRACK â Mario Galaxy 2 had a big, thunderous orchestral soundtrack. Will Skyward follow suit? Miyamoto says Nintendo couldnât do what it did with Galaxy 2 and not do the same with the next Zelda, which weâll take as a âyesâ.
2011 â This game wonât make 2010, as Miyamoto and Aonuma want to give the development team the rest of the year to complete the game and make sure itâs in tip-top shape.
