The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD coming to Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite later this year. Nintendo unveiled just as much earlier this week during a Nintendo Direct packed with tons of news, including a (disappointing) update on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2. At the time of the unveiling, Nintendo did not in any way say whether The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD with amiibo support, but a new leak suggests this will happen, and the leak comes the way of Nintendo itself.
Not long after the $ 60 port was announced, pre-orders from Nintendo e-shop became available. And in the process, it has been revealed that amiibo support is being added to the game as a new feature. Unfortunately, this is all that the list of feature reveals. In other words, there is no word on how it will work.
If the reissue does have amiibo support, you would suggest that the Skyword Sword Link amiibo will be supported, and chances are good that other Link amiibos will be supported as well. But could other Nintendo characters? Probably not, but at least it’s on the table for now.
It is noteworthy that Nintendo did not comment on this accidental and apparent leak. If that changes, we’ll check the story with the information provided.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD will be released worldwide on July 16 via the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite. Not only will it require $ 60, but it will also force you to free up 7.5 GB of space to download it.
