Leave it to a fanboy to spoil it for the rest of the Nintendo fans. Someone known as BY2K got a little to excited on the NEOGAF forums and decided to post spoilers for the upcoming Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: citing the October issue of Nintendo Power as his source and warning readers that “there ARE plot details! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!” What’s good with the Jigsaw tone? Anyways, if the anticipation is killing you, look ahead. If not, fall back, or build up your excitement by revisiting the Fire Temple trailer here. Remember: YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
