Nintendo has announced new details of what players can expect from the eagerly awaited Wii adventure The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
According to the gamemaker, Link's latest quest is set to be one of Nintendo's most epic games ever, having taken 100 staff members more than five years to create it.
Gamers can expect an experience that could last dozens of hours, including a boss challenge mode and more than 100 minutes of cinematic cutscenes, while optional hint movies will be available for rookie players.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is due out in November 2011 and will be released in a Limited Edition pack that includes a gold Wii Remote Plus and a special Zelda soundtrack CD.
It is being released as the classic series celebrates its 25th anniversary, an occasion that has already been marked by the release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D on Nintendo 3DS.
A special Zelda concert will be held in London in October to commemorate the milestone, while an enhanced anniversary edition of The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords will be made available as a free DSiWare download later this month.
