Skyward Sword Release Date and Gold Edition Announced

Zelda will arrive this November with a special bundle.

Nintendo has finally revealed the release date for the biggest game in its 2011 stable. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is all set for a November 20th release. Strangely, the release date revelation that fans have been chomping at the bit for, was buried in the press release under some other interesting bits of info.

Each and every disc printed in the initial run will come packaged with a CD containing the select orchestrated numbers from the upcoming Zelda 25th anniversary symphony tour. A special bundle will also be available for $69.99. The bundle will pay tribute to the series’ routes by coming with the gold Wii Remote pictured up top there.
