Zelda Twilight Princess in combat clips

This fresh but brief footage from the Wii version of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess reveals more of Link's impressive sword-fighting skills, both in the saddle and on-foot.

So why not practice your own attack by poking the pointer up towards that Movies tab and stabbing away at the left button? That way you'll be able to treat yourself to a show reel of boar-bumping and creature bashing. And to complete this ocular orgy of Zelda-info, why not read our in-depth preview just before and after watching the trailer.

And with those two in tandem, you'll be able to fully appreciate every detail of the recent changes to the combat and control system while we search Hyrule for more info, screens and footage on one of this year's biggest games.
