Fans of the Zelda series will have to remain patient for just a little bit longer. Nintendo has yet to issue a release date for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword beyond a vague promise of Q4 of this year (which could change), but it has released a new trailer in time for Comic-Con, which is a good sign that things are progressing nicely.

We had a chance to see Skyward Sword at last year’s E3, and it looked good, although it was rough around the edges. There were some obvious controller issues, but Nintendo still had plenty of time to figure them out. Then last month at this year’s E3, we again were treated to a much more complete looking Skyward Sword that had a hands-on demo available, and it looked great.

So the game looks good, the controls seemed set, now we just wanna play the game! Looks like we’ll have to wait until the holidays at least until we get our hands on the newest Zelda, but in the meantime, check out the freshly released trailer.

It still isn't easy, however, so let's run through how to get the Biggoron's Sword in Tears of the Kingdom so you can hack and slash your way to victory.

If you played The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you might know where this is going. What you need to do is visit a Rock Octorok, which can be found around Hyrule. Specifically, this enemy can be found just northeast of Goron City in the spot on the map above. This Octorok spawns here consistently, so it's an easy method to get the trick to work.

How to get the Sword of the Hero in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Link and Zelda under Hyrule Castle in "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom."

When even a stick can serve as a weapon, you'll never be at a loss for some way to beat down your enemies in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Granted, a random stick isn't going to do you much good, even when you combine it with something using the new Fuse power. Link is most deadly with real swords, and Hyrule is packed with them, including many from his past adventures. Naturally, the Master Sword is out there waiting to be found, but you can also reunite Link with the very first sword he used against Ganon all those years ago. We all know it's dangerous to go alone, so here's how to get the Sword of the Hero in Tears of the Kingdom.
