Take to the skies, draw your sword, and experience the earliest story in the Legend of Zelda series in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD for the Nintendo Switch!

The Legend Begins

Join Link in his high-flying quest to save Zelda, a childhood friend who must confront her destiny. Soar between floating islands and descend to the treacherous surface world in this updated HD version of the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword game.

As Above, So Below

Take to the skies on your trusty Loftwing and visit islands dotted on the horizon, then dive down to the fabled surface and trek through forests, deserts, volcanoes and more. Befriend new allies, uncover hidden secrets and cut down myriad monsters on your journey to stop Ghirahim’s nefarious plan.

Into the Unknown

Hidden deep within each surface region lies a sprawling dungeon packed with fearsome fiends, treasures and puzzles design to test the bravest of heroes. Defeat the guardian waiting for you at the end of each dungeon and you’ll be one step closer to saving the world.

Master Immersive Swordplay as Link’s Movements Mimic Your Own

Gently swing your sword and angle your slashes to uncover and 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.

Movements feel smoother and more immediate thanks to the Nintendo Switch system’s increased processing power and HD graphics.

Adventure at the Push of a Button

Take advantage of the newly-added button only control scheme - perfect for playing in handheld mode or on the Nintendo Switch Lite system.

Battle Monsters, Solve Puzzles, and Explore Dungeons

Uncover and break through opponents’ defenses with well-placed attacks. Each enemy is different on where they may be vulnerable, so strike when the time is right. Each dungeon is its own adventure with strategic puzzles, fantastic gear, and memorable boss battles.

Soar the Skies

Loftwings and their riders share a special connection formed from a very young age. Hop atop the back of your feathered friend to fly around the isles in the sky. Dive off to reach different regions on the surface.

This classic quest has been enhanced for Nintendo Switch with smoother motion controls, as well as newly-added button controls!
