The plastic used was a bit cheap. The Wii U has the coolest design ever. It looks like the system will be on of the best consoles ever.

Honestly I think the Wii U looks more like a plastic sci-fi toy:

...mainly because of the large rounded corners, especially on the controller.

Thereès plenty of things other than this and a square that can make a console look sleek. Both the Xbox360 and PS3 look incredibly sleek, even in their current day, and the Wii U looks a little odd. Perhaps it's just the lighting, I'm not sure, but I can't seem to find any other decent pictures.

As for Skyward Sword:
An area known as Floria Lake has been spotted. It is reminiscent of Zora's Domain but is instead inhabitited by the Parella tribe. They are squid-like creatures that also resemble a mixture between a parasol and an umbrella
Its dungeon is the Ancient Cistern and you will find the whip with which you yank giant taps to turn on flows of water.
You will also be able to catch bugs with a butterfly net and use them to upgrade potions at Skyloft Bazaar (just like items)
And finally, there is a lone island in the sky (accessible by bird) called Fun Fun Island. Here you can partake in various challenges but only after helping the sad clown who lives there... EPICNESS!!!!

Sad clown? That game has got to be at least PG-13.

@Raytunes:
In fact it is PEGI 12.
That one year difference will scar twelve year-olds everywhere.

PEGI 12 for Zelda? I don't mind much. I've never played much Zelda until 2009, but I have played Ocarina of Time with my friend when I was four and remember it being one of the greatest games ever made. Considering the fact that I never got past the Great Deku Tree. I'm loving the 3DS remake.

Me too. I never really knew about Zelda. I loved Kirby and Mario to hell but when I went to grammar school, I met a kid called Ahad and he opened my eyes to Zelda by lending me Twilight Princess. Little did I know that this was actually one of the worst Zelda games and strayed too far from the series.
I then, however, went on to play OOT and Wind Waker and that is proper Zelda and I have no doubt that Skyward Sword will thrash them all and be crowned the best Zelda game ever.

And BTW, I thought Zelda was always PEGI 12 (excluding Toon Link games)

Yeah, you heard, saw, read... something
Twilight Princess was trying to be too realistic and Zelda just doesn't do realism. That's why I was really impressed by Skyward Sword's graphics... they look like a fantastical painting and perfect for a Zelda game. Despite graphics, Twilight Princess destroyed all that Zelda was about. And they made Zelda a brunette!!! Let me know if that sounds awkward

I find it an amazing game. It was in need of some difference. Making the same style of game years after year isn't a good idea either.

I don't think completely changing your franchise only keeping some ideas is a good difference.
I mean look at Mario, each game is based on the same ideas and that's a huge success. He's been going for 26 years and is better than ever. With Zelda, I think Nintendo are actually trying to write the wrong done by TP with Skyward Sword.

These Links are all descendents or "links" to each other. The Wind Waker link is obviously a different link than the one from Ocarina of Time.

The Angry Video Game Nerd show has an episode about the Zelda timeline, in which he gets rather frustrated trying to figure about the chronological order of the Zelda timeline.
