Nintendo held their roundtable event at E3 earlier tonight and some plot details from the newly announced Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword title for the Nintendo Wii.

The plot details are as follows:
- Link finds out that there is a land below the clouds, but its controlled by "evil forces."
- Link then descends from the clouds to check out this land.
- Link is a boy who lives in Skyloft
- Skyloft is above the clouds (obviously)
- Scene at the end of the E3 trailer for the game is important because it's a big moment in the game.
- Miyamoto wasn't sure if the game would be released in 2010, so instead he's taking his time, making sure everything is right, which is why it has a 2011 release date.
- Game is mostly finished with a few markups being added.
- The Skyward Sword is intelligent, takes on form like is depicted in the concept artwork
- The Skyward Sword will become the Master Sword
- Cloud banks are "very impactful."
- Miyamoto was very influential on the game's art style.
- Aonuma: “If we had kept the Twilight Princess art style, we’d be done already!”
