Mark your calendars now, folks, because The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has an official release date. Skyward Sword will release in North America on November 20, 2011. This will be the first (and most likely only) Zelda title that has been built from the ground up for the Nintendo Wii.

"The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is the biggest game in the series yet," said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "We've just scratched the surface of this massive experience, and we look forward to sharing additional details with fans as we approach the Nov. 20 launch."

That launch is still about 3 months away, so we'll all be here listening and ready to hear more details as that launch date approaches.
