The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD - Nintendo Switch

Explore the origins of the legendary sword in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD on Nintendo Switch .

Originally released for Wii in 2011, this adventure has been optimized for Nintendo Switch and features even smoother motion controls as well as, for the first time, button controls.

Retracing the earliest story in the game's chronology The Legend of Zelda, the title tells the tale of Link, who must travel between a world above the clouds and the vast, unknown lands beneath them surface to find his childhood friend, Zelda. Armed with his sword and shield, Link will embark on an epic adventure and must be ready to cross swords with formidable enemies, solve tricky puzzles and ride the skies on the back of a celestial tree.

Play with two Joy-Con controllers to control Link's arsenal: wave the right Joy-Con to make him swing his sword and use the left Joy-Con to raise his shield and block enemy attacks. Many other actions, such as shooting a bow or throwing bombs, also use motion controls to make the immersion complete.

This version on Nintendo Switch also features for the first time the ability to play with button controls so you can enjoy the game in handheld mode or on a Nintendo Switch Lite. Using these controls, you can control Link's sword by tilting the right stick to choose the direction in which he should strike.
