You'll be playing the next Zelda over Thanksgiving break.
 
It's one of the last games on Wii's horizon and now we finally know when we'll get to play it. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will be released on November 20 in North America. It's fitting that it should arrive this year, the 25th anniversary of the original Legend of Zelda.
 

Skyward Sword is coming.

Nintendo described Skyward Sword as a "a massive, multilayered world that takes players from dark dungeons to a diverse overworld to cloud cities in the sky, requiring a combination of puzzle-solving and swordplay to unlock all of its secrets. Link soars through the air on the wings of a majestic bird while exploring the game's sky area, providing players with unprecedented freedom of movement as they progress on their adventure. The quest lays the foundation for the events in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which is frequently cited as one of the greatest video games of all time."
 
Skyward Sword is set for a November 18, 2011 release in Europe. Be jealous, North Americans!
