We’ve seen so much of Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword lately, with screens and videos coming at us nearly every other day. That doesn’t mean we don’t get goose bumps when watching a new video for the game, like we did with this newest trailer titled Origins. However, we’re not sure, but it looks like it has some major story moments and cinematics between shots of straight gameplay, so something will probably be spoiled for you should you watch it. Do you have the willpower to resist such a cool trailer?

That video seemed to have appearances from nearly every major character in the game and several dramatic moments from Zelda history, including what looks like the forging of the mythic Master Sword. We actually have a final retail copy in the office, so we’ll have a review going up soon enough, so you’ll know if the hype is for real shortly. While you wait, we also got some gorgeous new character art for the game that you to drool over.
