One of the most divisive games in Nintendo Switch, as a listing for a Switch version of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has appeared on Amazon UK. The game was initially released for the Nintendo Wii in 2011 and has yet to receive any updated ports.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was a polarizing game at launch, as fans and critics derided it for its back-tracking and for featuring one of the most annoying sidekicks in video game history, with Fi giving Navi from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time a run for her money. The game required the Wii MotionPlus in order to work, allowing for a greater range of movement with Link's sword. The use of the MotionPlus led many fans to believe that Skyward Sword couldn't work on the Switch, as the Joy-Con isn't as precise as a Wiimote.
It seems that the rumors of a The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword port to the Switch could be true. Wario64 initially reported on the trailer for Pikmin 3 Deluxe.
There are rumors that Nintendo is bringing all of the 3D trademarks suggests that Nintendo has big plans for the Zelda anniversary, and a Skyward Sword port could be part of it. It should be clarified that this Amazon listing could be incorrect, so the existence of the game should be treated as a rumor for the time being.
The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has dropped numerous hints that a Skyward Sword port for Nintendo Switch is in development. The game is long overdue for an HD remaster and the Switch would be the perfect system for the game. The only question now is how the developers were able to emulate the functions of the Wii MotionPlus with the Joy-Cons?
