The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is one of the most beautiful looking Wii games we've seen, and Nintendo's teams have created countless pieces of art for the game over the year: remember the E3 2009 reveal artwork?
Here's another stunning piece showing Link, villain Lord Ghirahim and Zelda, but it's full of smaller details too: there's some Zelda iconography for the eagle-eyed among you to pull out.
We're attending the game's official launch event in London tomorrow, after which we'll commence the mammoth task of reviewing 2011's biggest Nintendo game.

Beautifull!
Wow that's awesome! Love it!
I can see the Farore's Pearl symbol, but nothing else...
That's completely new!
looks at avatar oh =)
Isn't this just the Game Informer cover?
This is the Game Informer cover art from two months ago
HOWEVER: It is insanely beautiful and completely worth posting.
Crowded and boring.
We don't get Game Informer in the UK, so it's new to me, and it just went up on the Nintendo UK press site today
That is awesome! Game Informer had a cover art which was also exceptionally awesome!
I saw both Farore's and Nayru's pearls in there, not sure what else yet, I'll be combing it later though
Is hyrule In this game because link has a Hylian shield ?!?!?
That's such a beautiful illustration! It's beyond a shame that there is no Legend of Zelda anime nor Dragon Quest anime for that matter.
I wish Square Enix and Nintendo would get the makers of the new and awesomely good NEW ThunderCats reboot to make TV shows for Dragon Quest, The Legend of Zelda and Kid Icarus.
@TokyoRed: Why does everything have to be about TV shows? Why can't we enjoy games as games?
That said, I love how they've gone from static images of Link sitting around or swinging his sword on white backgrounds to these epic concepts full of mystic patterns and different characters all meshed together. It certainly looks pretty; i hope it plays just as nice! :3
That artwork looks awesome!
This game looks awesome!!! I'm definitely getting this game!
I wonder why they changed Zelda in to the model with white clothes and a harp. The original looks better IMO.
You see, that Zelda looks like Princess Zelda in that art.
Beautiful, simply beautiful...
Isn't this the cover from GameInformer?
@Link245: Please see comments 6, 7, and 9 in this thread. :3
That look's stunning **sets as a wallpaper**. And no spoilers...wait a second, isn't that Link? Link's in the game!? The twist, it's ruined!
'Tis lovely though. More please Nintendo! MOAR!!!
Official launch event tomorrow? I thought THE GAME releases in the UK on the 18th.
This is sex....y
Link looks like such a bauss
@tbd
THANK you. This is why I find the talk of an Uncharted movie so reprehensible. What can we possibly gain from that experience? Why would it be better? I'm even more baffled when I hear fans crying for a Zelda movie. Insanity.
Zelda looks different in this picture than the GI cover... doesn't she? Or am I imagining things.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr we dont get it till the 24/25th
@shinesprite Game launches on 18th, but the official, media-only launch event is tonight. I'm going to learn how to fence, apparently. Pity my poor teacher...
@James - Fencing, eh? Can see the news headlines now..."NINTENDO TEACHES PEOPLE TO STAB"
