A rough video showing some footage of the upcoming Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake has found its way to the web. While the footage is filmed, the 3-d effect is obviously not transferred over the camera, but it gives us some idea of how the game will look.

There are rumors circulating that Princess Zelda will be appearing in the upcoming Skyward Sword for the Nintendo Wii. This information can supposedly be found in the September edition of Nintendo Power. Rumors are also stating that there will be no voice acting in Zelda Skyward Sword.

To discuss this, please join our Zelda Forums.

Speculating on the Legend of Zelda time-line is a hobby of many fans to the series. Many believe Ocarina of Time to be the first in  the series, but with Zelda Skyward Sword coming out, there will be no question to where its placement in the time-line goes. In a recent interview Aonuma confirmed what many of us were thinking. Skyward Sword will be taking place before Ocarina of Time. After all, Zelda Skyward Sword will be dealing with the creation of the Master Sword.

In similar news, Aonuma also confirmed the existence of an official Legend of Zelda time-line document, but do not get your hopes up, there are no plans for its release anytime soon.

While the new Zelda adventure is not set to be released until early 2011, it has already began to receive a lot of hype and attention. Clamoring for more information, gamers search all over just for a piece of previously undisclosed information or plot detail. As they hype builds, here is your one stop guide to what is already known.

Title: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Release Date: TBD- early 2011

Platform: Nintendo Wii- Wii Motion Plus Required

Presumably set in the beginning of the series timelime, Link is a young man who resides in the city above the clouds called Skyloft. After a series of events he receives the Skyward Sword (through connection with the mysterious lady?) which allows him to move from Skyloft and the Kingdom of Hyrule below. While saving the land below and learning of the two kingdom’s connections the origins of the Master Sword will be revealed, giving the assumption Ganon or Ganondorf will be the villain.

Like other recent additions to the series on the main platform, the game will be in 3-d. Departing from the realistic graphics of Twilight Princess, but not doing a full return to the “Celda” style of the Wind Waker, Skyward Sword has its own new style of surreal graphics.  The familiar enemies and characters will be getting a make over, with Link once again returning as a young adult.

The mechanics of the series will be the same.  Adventure into the dungeons, defeat the boss, gain access to new areas and repeat. However, some things have changed. This time when climbing vines there is a strength meter that gives you a limited time frame to reach the top, or else fall. The swordplay is also now 1:1 and will utilize new controls with the Wii-mote and the Wii Motion Plus. Combat is slightly different with a more direct approach being taken. Instead of just wailing on an opponent, the sword must have precise hits to targeted regions for maximum damage. The shield is also now controlled through the nunchuck attachment and also is more precise.

As expected, most of the standard items will return. We have already seen the boomerang, whip, sling shot, bow and arrow, bombs… but entering the series is a beetle item seemingly used to fetch objects by flying to it, or to carry items to a far away destination. New to the series also is the ability to drink a potion while still on the go and, most importantly a live in play item menu.

After the trailers for Twilight Princess was revealed with fully orchestrated music it was believed the game would feature the same, however fans were left disappointed. The Skyward Sword will not disappoint though, for the first time ever in a Zelda game, the music will be 100% orchestrated.

Of course more information is to come in the next several months, including screen shots, trailers, live game play, plot details and other details. Check back for up to date information.

For those of you who are worried about the controls of the upcoming Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, worry no more…well that is if you are like Reggie Fils-Aime. In a recent interview with the Independent Film Channel, or IFC, Reggie revealed that he has been a longtime Legend of Zelda fan ever since he played the original A Link to the Past on the Super Nintendo. Since playing aLttP, Reggie has continued to enjoy the Legend of Zelda series and now finds that the 1:1 motion controls of Zelda Skyward Sword is perfect and does not take away any of the magic of the Zelda series. In fact, his direct quote was,

“I’ll tell you: I’m a longtime ‘Zelda’ fan. I played ‘Zelda’ before I ever considered that I could be working for the company. I cut my teeth on ‘Link to the Past.’ I’ve picked up that control scheme and it feels like a great ‘Zelda’ game.”

Reggie would continue on with this point by addressing the unique attacking concept that has many fans wondering,
“I am the one deciding how to attack a particular enemy. It feels great to me. I found that it’s a fantastic new way to experience the “Zelda” franchise.”

So there we have, if it’s good enough for Reggie then it should be for you as well.
