The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Skyward Sword

For a brief period of time, there were rumblings that this was actually going to happen after Zelda head Eiji Aonuma made whimsical allusions to the possibility.

The hype was short-lived, however, as less than a week later a Nintendo spokesperson told Eurogamer: “at this time we have no plans to release The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword on Nintendo Switch.”

Cue the Ballad of the Wind Fish, for it seemed the dream had come to a melancholic end. Despite this, it’s still worth discussing, both because of the validity of the concept, and because if Nintendo pull a 180, we will appear wonderfully prescient.

Skyward Sword was a divisive title in the Zelda series, to say the least. Hamstrung by inconsistent motion controls and feeling somewhat superfluous after Twilight Princess had already brought the franchise to the new generation, many people have it ranked in the lower echelons of Zeldadom.

Could a retooling bring things up a notch, and allow the gameplay to catch up to the vision? It’s certainly possible, especially considering the considerable levels of charm found in this high-flying fantasy. Who could forget the first time they met Groose, after all, or the imposing demon Batreaux? There’s a lot to like here.
