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.
