Today Nintendo revealed more details about their upcoming title, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. As far as I am concerned, any news involving this title that doesn’t have the words “pushed back” in the headlines is good news for gamers! Today’s reveal has to do with the Lanayru Desert and the Lanayru Mining Facility. For those who don’t know, this new Zelda title changed how gamers approach dungeons. It seems as though the overworld leading to a dungeon plays like a dungeon itself. In this case, Link must search for the mining facility in the desert. The Lanayru Desert will feature new enemies and familiar characters, like the Gorons from previous titles. Once inside the facility, Link will have to solve puzzles and challenges before coming face to face with the dungeon boss Moldera (a giant scorpion).
Nintendo also sent over two trailers showcasing the Lanayru Desert and Facility. Check out the new items Link finds during his trek there. The more notable one is the Gust Jar that can be used to stun enemies and clear paths through piles of sand. Awesome!
