Nintendo has revealed more details about the areas, items and game play to be found in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword game, which will launch on the Wii Nov. 20. Following last week's unveiling of new information about the Faron Woods area of the game Nintendo offers details on Lake Floria and the Parella Tribe. Later in his Link’s quest, he must make his way to an undiscovered section of the Faron Woods that is home to Lake Floria. The lake is inhabited by the squid-like Parella tribe, which makes its first appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Even when revisiting past areas like Faron Woods, players will make new discoveries and, occasionally, find drastic changes to the environment that require them to explore these areas in entirely different ways.

Link will be able to explore these new areas by using a new swimming ability. Getting through Lake Floria requires this skill, which is activated by using the Wii Remote Plus.

Skyward Sword also offers new insects and potions. Players can collect bugs in various areas that are used to infuse new ingredients into the variety of different potions available for purchase at the bazaar in Skyloft. Obviously, this gives potions powerful new effects. Players can experiment with different potions and insects to find the concoctions that best meet their medicinal needs.

Also new in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is Fun Fun Island, one of the small islands that float above the clouds near Link's hometown. As the name suggests, there's a lot of fun to be had there, but before Link can enjoy everything the island has to offer, he must find a way to fulfill the request of its lone inhabitant.

Finally Link gets a new weapon – the whip. Players can use the Wii Remote Plus to lash Link's whip at enemies and objects. The whip also can be used to grab items and is integral to solving certain puzzles. Link's items can be selected in real time without pausing the game when he is on the ground, making it easier to switch between a sword and other items.

Nintendo promises more details and information about the game prior to its Nov. 20 launch. The game is available for pre-order at major retailers throughout North America.
