For some of you (like SuperJesseMario) who wouldn't dare to brave the 2-hour waiting line for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess demo in the Nintendo Fusion Tour, footage for the game is always welcome. And will we let two short clips get past our eagle eyes? Nope. Most definitely not.

 

In the latest interview with Iwata (which, aside from a rough Google Translate, still doesn't have an English translation - update soon!), these two clips surfaced. They show combat sequences from the game. The first one has the now-right-handed Link giving hell to a goblin, while the second one has him on his steed and battling some boar-riding baddies.

Notice how, when you engage in battle, the game goes "widescreen" with those two black bars pulled in from above and below. Also, note the red arrow that pops up above the enemy? That's your cue that you've engaged a target. As with a lot of accounts from other people who've played the demos, watching this vid makes you feel as if controls were very intuitive.

To watch the vids, click the "Read" link below, scroll all the way down, and click on the two Zelda pics on the right-hand side!
