Nintendo has revealed more details about the captivating areas,
items and game play in the massive The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward
Sword game, launching exclusively for the Wii™ system on Nov.

to the Eldin Volcano as additional discoveries have uncovered
new portions of the map. Players will dig the new items and find
a new way to traverse through this area. Newly revealed game
elements include the following:
Return to the Eldin Volcano and the Fire Sanctuary: Link travels
back to this volcanic area to journey into the Fire Sanctuary, a
dungeon that sits on top of the volcano’s summit.
New Items: In the Fire Sanctuary, Link receives yet another new
item – the Mogma Mitts. Using these, he is able to access
underground tunnels by digging through soft patches in the
ground to explore the subterranean areas in this dungeon.
The Quest Continues: As Link makes his way through this
treacherous area and continues on his quest to find and help
Zelda™, a massive eruption throws him from atop the volcano.
More Fun in the Skies: When Link returns to Skyloft he can look
forward to a multitude of fun diversions, including Pumpkin
Pull, a challenging game of target shooting that involves flying
pumpkins.
