The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Switch

Description

Solve puzzles, explore dungeons, and soar the skies!

Descend from the sky to the dangerous world below in this high-flying quest. Your adventure will lead you through perilous dungeons packed with puzzles. Each item you receive will open up even more adventure—uncover a hidden area with the flying Beetle or find a clever way to hinder enemies with a whip.

Whether you are scouring for secrets, getting in some sword practice, or upgrading equipment, forge your own path in the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD game.

Master realistic swordplay that corresponds to your movements

Gently swing your sword and angle your slashes to break through opponents’ defenses using intuitive motion controls. Link’s in-game movements will correspond to the angle of each strike you make with the Joy-Con controller, creating immersive swordplay that relies on strategy and accuracy. Figuring out how, when, and where to strike adds a puzzle-like twist to swordplay.

On the go? Soar and slash using button-only controls. You can also use button controls on a Nintendo Switch™ Pro Controller.
