Boating in Skyward Sword

A video was released in the latest Iwata Asks that details a few interesting mechanics of Skyward Sword, particularly in the desert area.

This video shows Link riding on boat, equipped with a canon, and time travelling in a section that looks like a dungeon. Destructoid Editor Jonathan Holmes talked about the video in this, where he states that Link uses a boat to travel around the desert sea (wtf), and that the desert has lots of time travelling sequences, where what you manipulate in the past stays there in the future.

I think that these are both very exciting editions, and definitely call back to previous Zelda games. I really cannot wait for this game.

I love how the cannon can be wielded as a first-person implement. It looks easier to aim that way, and differs a lot from the mechanics used in Wind Waker.
