Because apparently unique Skyward Sword impressions don’t stop with Game Informer or Nintendo Power, we’re happy to announce that… well, IGN just released a “preview” teaser of their upcoming Skyward Sword preview. Apparently they got some hands-on time in Skyloft, which means we should be getting to see or at least hear about the sky land in a little more detail.

Will it be all that different from what Nintendo Power already revealed? I doubt it, but you never know. Their full preview is coming at 5am – I’m assuming tomorrow? Perhaps Friday? They don’t really clarify. Jump inside for the shameless self-promotion from Rich and Audrey.

Or just forget them and focus on that sexy Skyward Sword intro sequence. You know you want to.

As we have reminded you you multiple times within the last twenty-fours hours, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition is now able for in the eshop on both the Nintendo 3DS and the DSi.

If you own a DSi or 3DS then you’ll be too busy playing your new Zelda game to bother with this post, but for those of us who don’t own one, or won’t be able to sit down and try it out until later tonight, you can always watch the new English trailer for the game that was released today while you wait.

You can check it out inside.

Update #5 -Check out our analysis of the intro right here!

Another day, another massive Skyward Sword update. This time we have a camera recorded playthrough of Skyward Sword’s intro sequence as well as the first temple up until Link receives the beetle. This however, is not the interesting part of this video. That title goes to the very beginning, where see a Dragon Age-esque intro cinematic telling us the backstory of the game. The presenter cuts it off half-way though, but it’s still enough of a teaser. Have a look at the video inside and keep hitting F5 on this entry as we work on the translation from Spanish.

We just reported on the release of Four Swords Anniversary in Australia and Europe, but we now have confirmation that it is now available in North America as well. Some of the staff have already downloaded the game through the Nintendo E-Shop and will be sharing our opinions on the release soon. Head on past the break to hear what I think about the new release.

The folks over at Zelda Informer have found a video clip of the intro of the upcoming Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. The intro sequence is in Spanish, but there is already a translation readily available. Obviously something of this nature includes plenty of spoilers, so make the jump only if you’d like to see the video and read the translated text of the game.

There was just a blast of Skyward Sword information from Nintendo Power, but as usual there is likely “some” detail you missed over the past couple years. Don’t fret! No need to sift through google searches and interviews for the needed quotes. We have it all for you, right here in our official Skyward Sword Compendium. We also have some bare bones information available on our local Wiki, via our The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword page.

Oh, you want speculation? Check out our massive Skyward Sword Article backlog. Wondering which walkthrough to bookmark for tips, hints, and secret-finding purposes? Our Skyward Sword Walkthrough is a great start, as with what we did with our Spirit Tracks Walkthrough back in 2009, we plan to provide the first complete Skyward Sword guide on the Internet.

Then again, maybe none of that interests you. That’s fine, so hop inside to see some of our top staff members’ reactions to the new stuff presented this evening. Or if you’re in a particularly chatty mood, head on over to our forums to talk about everything you like and dislike about Skyward Sword based on what we know so far.

I am absolutely floored by the information coming out of the latest Nintendo Power issue related to

Skyward Sword – we learn tons of new details about characters from Skyloft, the ideas that drive the plot (including Ghirahim’s true goals), and the official name of the Skyward Sword.

This new info is so spoiler-sensitive I’m not even going to go into it in the preview section. Jump inside to check out every last detail. We’ll be updating this post as we learn more.

UPDATE: More scans have been posted! New info regarding Eldin Volcano, Ghirahim’s motives,

, and the mysterious woman from the recent trailer, as well as images!

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition will be available for free in the Nintendo 3DS eshop starting tomorrow, September 28th. It’s exciting news, and will help hold us over while we wait for Skyward Sword, but there is some bad news. Unfortunately, the game will only be free for a limited time, and the it looks like multiplier mode is strictly local.

More information after the jump.

The newest issue of Nintendo Power is set to hit store shelves on October 4th, but scans are already starting to appear online. Our resident forum member, Vibed has posted a few scans and there is a lot of goodies to be heard. In particular we learn quite a bit about the Skyloftian citizens early on in the game. I have to warn you all, these contain some spoilers, so stay away if you don’t want to hear any of…
