Some details from the new Nintendo Power. Some light spoilers here so don't read it if you're a pussy.
- Ghirahim seeks to revive his master.
- The headmaster of the Knight Academy Link goes to is named Gaepora.
- Gaepora is Zelda's father.
- Gaepora laugh like this "Hoo hoo hoo", which seems Owl like.
- Zelda wakes up Link one morning to show him her dress for the Bird Riders ceremony.
- Noticing how lazy Link is about his flying training, Zelda pushes him off the edge of Skyloft.
- During the "date" after the competition, Zelda is trying to tell something to Link she's been meaning to tell him for a long time, but is interrupted by a tornado.
- Link has nightmares of the black creature that shallows Zelda.
- During the attack of said creature, Link is saved by his bird, which are called Loftwings.
- Fi appears in Skyloft after the attack and Link chases her all around Skyloft to the Goddess Statue.
- The Sheikhas Stones are back.
- The Eldin Volcano's dungeon is NOT the Fire Temple, it's the EARTH Temple.
- The bullies are named Groose, Cawlin and Stritch. Groose, the red-haired one, has a big crush on Zelda.
- Other characters includes Pipit, a senior student and bird expert. And Fledge, a nice guy but kind of a wimp.
Gameplay details:
- Night/Day transition does not occur in real-time. Link must go to bed and choose to get up at night or at day.
- Monster appear during the night. Cats become aggressive.
- The HUD is customization. Standard, Light and Pro. Standard shows the full controller overlay and button functions, Light only the buttons and Pro is almost completely clean.
- The only way to save your game is with the birds statues. They are pretty much everywhere, including mid-dungeon and right before boss rooms.
- Skyward Sword's official name is the "Goddess Sword"
- Link has multiple premonitions involving the strange pointy-toothed creature seen gobbling Zelda up in the original E3 2011 trailer
- Skyloft has a full-blown residential quarter, a bazaar, the plaza, a bath house and more
- knock background objects over
- the treasure cubes we've seen in footage are called "Goddess Cubes"
- the sword beam is referred to as the "Skyward Strike"
- From the sky, you can return to any activated Save Statue on the surface.
- Scaldera's official name is the "Pyroclastic Fiend Scaldera"
- Link has to raid a Bokoblin camp to rid Eldin Volcano of their presence once he arrives there
- earn the Digging Gloves and Bomb Bag from the Mogma as thanks for his help
- the Sheikah-like character from the recent trailer is very "ninja-like"
