Destructoid is also getting on the Skyward Sword wagon for they are releasing their own information. In this recent article they posted they give out some details about the first temple in Skyward Sword, the Skyview Temple. They also talk about a possible Shard Quest in the game as well as the level of difficulty you will face with enemies, there is a lot more you can read up on once you jump inside this post so go on but remember this is a spoiler. Also could Skyward Sword actually come with no compass? Jump inside to find out.

• After meeting Fi and simultaneously acquiring the Skyward Sword, you pick up your first shield, which you will upgrade throughout the game. Your first shield is not only flammable, but it is not impenetrable to all enemy attacks. This makes me wonder how many people are going to break their shields in the first dungeon.
• The shield will deteriorate over time from use, and it will eventually be destroyed, unless you go back to Skyloft to get it repaired. This will apply to other equipment as well.
• After landing in the forest, Link learns how to dowse. When dowsing, your sword (aka your Wiimote) will beep and vibrate as you get close to the thing you are looking for.
• Next you encounter your first real enemies in the game: a couple Bokoblins, who the reviewer notes were surprisingly challenging and that he had to really watch how his enemies moved in order to defeat them.
• With each encounter your sword tactics will vary, not only because each enemy is different, but because your enemies all have different AI and will block and counter your attacks differently.
• You then come across an engraved stone. While standing in front of the stone you must hold your sword up to the heavens to charge it before swinging it down. This will open a bunch of steam holes in the ground, which, using your sailcloth, you can use to access a new path.
• You meet and talk with “some mystical figure living in a cave.”
• Next up, you meet a Kikwi, disguised as a bush (these guys are totally Kokiri, calling it now), who sends you off to the elder Kikwi. The elder will tell you to find three other Kikwi before he helps you.
• The three Kikwi are hidden in new areas of the map, so you will to explore while you are looking for them. After finding them all, you are given passage to the Skyview temple.
• The reviewer doesn’t want to spoil the dungeon puzzles too much but says that they are “outright devious.”
• There are no compasses in this game. The compass’s function has been coupled with the map.
• Not only are there spiders everywhere, but there are also bugs (for the bug hunting sidequest).
• You find the beetle item and use it to make your way through the dungeon.
• The miniboss is a Stalfos Warrior.
• Finally to the boss: Demon Lord Ghirahim. The battle begins with him fighting you swordless, then with a sword, and finally he begins rushing you.
• After you defeat Ghirahim, he says that Zelda’s presence is fading and he leaves.
• After he exists you acquire a new Heart Container and a shard that fits into the base of the Goddess Statue.
