Skyward Sword has Upgradeable Weapons

By Nick Santangelo September 13th, 2011

Check out the RPG-like feature in this brand new Zelda footage from TGS.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

Wii owners have long since dedicated the time they used to spend gaming to counting down the hours until the release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Nintendo, itself well aware of the situation, elected to reserve a small portion of its Tokyo Game Show 3DS bonanza to showing off the Wii title. In this new gameplay video, Link can be seen collecting goo and other little tchotchkes that he uses to upgrade his shield. Skyward Sword releases here in North America on November 20th.
