Nintendo's showing off a HD Legend of Zelda demo for Wii U at E3.
As you can see from our footage and screenshots on this page, the Zelda demo features a battle between Link and a gigantic boss character - all in glorious, Gears of War-esque HD.
E3 attendees can position the camera around Link's fight, change the time of day and more. It looks brilliant.
In case you've just woken up and are wondering what on earth is going on and why Link's in HD, click here.

If history serves me correctly, some time ago the big N did something similar for the Gamecube only for it not to be for a new Zelda game but just to show what the console is capable of graphically. Forgive me for sayin this but I doubt this is footage for an actual forthcoming Zelda title, since the developers have only just finished working on Skyward Sword.

`@cooloneuk I think you might be right that they won't be working on it yet, but hopefully they'll use that engine to make the HD Zelda that we've all been waiting for!!
This link also gives a slightly better view of the fight against Gohma. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPvWJYLFqrE
