The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword Remaster Announced

Nintendo announced The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, a remaster of the game that debuted 10 years ago on the Wii console.

During the Nintendo Direct presentation, the studio traditionally revealed a lot of new games. One of the most important projects turned out to be The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, a refreshed version of the 2011 game released on the Wii console.

The remaster is coming exclusively to Nintendo Switch. The launch will take place on July 16, this year.

In comparison with the original from 2011, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD will offer improved graphics. The unusual combat system will be preserved, in which sword attacks were executed with the use of the Wii motion controller - in the remaster we will use joycons. An alternative controls layout, using only buttons, will be a added.
