Last we heard, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was planned for an early 2011 release date. That time has come, yet almost no additional footage or details🐟 of the game have surfaced since last fall. With each passing week, it seemed more likely Nintendo would push Skyward Swordfurther into the year, and could possibly even make it a tentpole release for fall 2011.suggests that is precisely what will happen♒.

Ocarina of Time 3DS will ship after this year's Electronic Entertainment𓄧 Expo, which putsit on shelvessometime after June 9. Couple that with afrom Nintendo president Satoru Iwata that says Ocarina is "expected to hit the market earlier" than Skyward Sword, and you've got a recipe for a delay into fall 2011. If Ocarina is coming out June-July at the earliest, it stands to reason Nintendo would wait a couple of months before unleashing a brand-new con🎉sole Zelda on the world- that puts Skyward Sword in the Sep-Oct range.

Can't say we're surprised - Skyward Sword will undoubtedly be Nintendo's biggest game this y🐈ear, so why not push it into the busy shopping season? Sucks we basically have to wait another year, but c'mon, did anyone really think we'd play this in "early 2011" as originally stated?

Given the later release date, expꦚect Skyward Sword to have a huge presence aꦇt E3 for the second year in a row.
