Gameloft reveals mysterious Zelda homage for iPhone

Gameloft has just released a teaser trailer for a brand new fantasy adventure game.

The trailer, being a teaser, is rather scant on detail. There's no gameplay footage, only the most fleeting glance at the protagonist, and Gameloft has yet to even announce a name.

So what can we tell from the trailer?

Well, most glaringly obvious is this game's debt to the Legend of Zelda series. The trailer shows several borrowed Zelda tropes, including a talking tree, glowing orb-like fairies, a lava drenched fire dungeon, horse riding, and tell-tale sword and shield icons in the bottom corner of the screen.

Ideas not nicked from Nintendo's flagship nightcap-wearing elf include a fairly awesome looking flying pirate ship. And that's about it.

Gameloft is being especially secretive about the project – indeed, even this scant teaser trailer requires you to head to the Gameloft Facebook page and 'like' it before you can view it.

More news as soon as Gameloft's magic shroud of secrecy disperses.
