The newest Zelda game will be released on October 1st in North America and on October 16th in Europe.  It was released June 23, 2007 in Japan.

     Game play is mostly overhead with the characters and surroundings in 3D.  Both screens and the microphone are used in the game.

     Link's fairy is named Ciela.  Players will control Link by commanding Ciela.

     Link's actions are done by using the stylus on the bottom screen.  A map is on the top screen.  Sword swings are accomplished by drawing a small arc near Link in the direction the player wishes to cut. Likewise, a quick tap in one direction with the stylus produces a jab, while a thrust-like motion from Link into a direction makes a thrust, also drawing a full circle around Link will cause him to perform a spinning swing attack.

    There is a multi-player game included.  Players have to challenge another to a game of hide and go seek.  This can be played locally or on the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

     The game has gotten great reviews throughout the world.  It nearly sold out in Japan during the first week of release.
