Skyward Sword Details in November’s Nintendo Power

The latest issue of Nintendo Power is in and includes a preview of Skyward Sword. With this preview we get a handful of extra details that are mostly centered around Faron Woods and the Water Dragon, Faron. These details don’t reveal anything really big, but they do elaborate on a few things and give some nice tidbits. Read on to see what’s new!

Here are the bits of information that can be found in the preview:

• You get the beetle in Skyview temple.
• You return later to find tougher enemies (blue bokobolins instead of red)
• You enter the Silent Realm when you return later.
• You have to find 15 Tears of Farore and escape to the exit.
• There is something called Waking Water in the Silent Realm that alerts the guardians if you step in it.
• If you survive the silent realm you receive a Water Dragon Scale, which allows Link to swim.
• The Water Dragon is the region’s protector.
• The Water Dragon is injured and you must help it to reach the Ancient Cistern.
• The boss of the Ancient Cistern is activated by Ghirahim, and you must use its weapons against it to win.
• The clown’s name is Dodoh, he runs a mini game in which he launches you high in the air and you attempt to collect rupees by falling through multipliers and land on the spinning platform below. He claims to have a special prize.

We’d like to thank forum member Night Owl for posting these details as well as a text copy of the preview. We’ll be updating this post as we receive more info from the article, so keep watching!
