Microsoft and Sony have already done their grandstanding across the stages of the Los Angeles Convention Centre, showing off everything from console exclusives to TV shows to just how over motion controls they all are. Well, now that all the Uncharted and Batman-related excitement has died down a little, Nintendo have snuck in with some pretty big announcements of their own. If you had counted these dark horses out of the console race, predicting ruin for the company as everyone else did...well, you did have kind of a point before. But after Nintendo's presentation at E3 last night? Things have changed. Not least of all because they finally announced a proper, real game for their underselling Wii U console, a game that fans have been clamouring for since said console was announced, and since his game was teased at the last E3 conference. The Legend of Zelda is finally getting a brand new HD outing, and based on the preamble by Eiji Aonuma - who helmed the Skyward Sword and Link Between Worlds entries into the series - and gameplay trailer, it's going to be a doozy. Having already unveiled more details of hack-and-slash side game Hyrule Warriors, Nintendo surprised us all by revealing a totally new, proper entry into the franchise with the simply titled Legend of Zelda (although it could very well earn itself a subtitle along the way, perhaps Dawn of Justice or something like that), a new game which is said to draw on the history of the series whilst also breaking totally new ground. Here's the five most exciting things we learned from Aonuma's presentation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZmxvig1dXE
