At the internet, to be exact on the http://3dsforums.com, a member called Foobrew shared this with us:

It's a blurry image telling us that the release date of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is 27 March.
And showing us a nice cover of the new Zelda game for Wii.

I believe that we're again first with some news eh?

Nintendo didn't mention it, but it seems quite decent.
The development of the game is over 50% now for sure, though, releasing it the same month as the 3DS is a little awkward.

I just wanted to share, it might be a fake, but it's worth to share I think.
March is really gonna be full of gaming! (And expensive!)

How do we know they're definitely talking about march 27th 2011?

I think it's fake. The cover image has a rating on it, but the ESRB website doesn't have any information, for one thing.

...would Zelda ever be rated T?

[Young Link Addict 67]

Cirt, Twilight Princess was rated T.

[Cirt 612]

Yeah I mean I thought maybe that one, but Zelda has always seemed so kid friendly to me. Especially with the looks of Skyward Sword

[Young Link Addict 67]

Yeah. The ESRB rating would be E. Look at every other cel-shade game. They were also rated E.

I mean the Zelda cel-shaded games. Obviously the Dragon Ball games would be T.

Yeah I don't think this is real, moreso because they're combining 2 seperate pictures into the cover. Normally they release the cover art before the videogame, and usually its not two pictures combined: its one big cover with new art. Which we would've seen before.

"Best of E3 2010."
Yep, now we know its fake. xD

[pheonix561 2080]

And don't they normally post information in multiple languages on the back of wii games?

Plus, they wouldn't have a picture of right handed Link on the front. Even Link in general (Besides WW and TP)

And Phantom Hourglass. And Spirit Tracks.
Nintendo could put Link on the cover if they wanted to (seeing as they've done it with the past 4 games.) But I doubt they'd put that picture.

I've seen a few sources that state the game is now in post-production. Also I've seen that it is planned on being released sometime after the Ocarina of Time 3DS is released.
