The remake will refresh the footage and optimize the game for the Nintendo Switch – with a similar treatment as Super Mario 3D All-Stars. Eiji Aonuma announced via Nintendo Direct that players can play it while waiting for the Breath of nature prosecute.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was generally well received by critics at the time. Reviewers praised the game’s story and gameplay, while others praised the game for the sometimes subtle movement moves and the strict adherence to the formula of The Legend of Zelda series. Skyward Sword was re-released via the Wii U Virtual Console in 2016, and the game influenced the design of its successor, Breath of nature according to Nintendo Switch and Wii U, according to Aonuma.
Nintendo has announced the re-release of Skyward Sword in anticipation of the 35th anniversary of the Zelda franchise in February. The original Legend of Zelda was released on the Nintendo Famicom in 1986. Since then, the franchise has grown into one of Nintendo’s most beloved of all time.
