The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is coming to Nintendo Switch on July 16 – Gaming – News

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD will be released for Nintendo Switch on July 16. The new game is a remaster of the original game that came out for Nintendo Wii in November 2011.

The original game made extensive use of the motion controls of the Wii and Nintendo tries to simulate that in an improved way with the Joy-Cons of the Switch console. The two Joy-Cons actually become the shield and sword. By swinging the right Joy-Con, players can strike with their sword and the other can be used to repel attacks with the shield. Physical moves can also be used to throw bombs, shoot arrows, and use tools and other items.

For players who use the Switch Lite, who do not have Joy-Con controllers, or do not want to use the motion detection, Nintendo has also incorporated the controls into the physical buttons. For example, the joystick on the right can be used for all kinds of different sword movements.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is not the first remaster of a Zelda game. HD remasters for The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess have already been released for Wii U. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD will cost $ 60 and a special Joy-Con controller set will also be available in the style of the game from July 16.
