Help and Hints Are Optional This Time
Things to Know Before Jumping Into Skyward Sword HD
One of the biggest criticisms of the original release of Skyward Sword was that Link’s companion, Fi, would interrupt frequently to offer help and advice. This would typically be fine for newer players who needed hints, but it was an annoyance for veterans of the series or people who wanted to figure things out on their own.
In Skyward Sword HD, mandatory hints and interruptions from Fi have been drastically reduced. She still pops up from time to time to offer important information, but for the most part, she stays hidden unless called upon.
If you’re feeling stuck or need to be pointed in the right direction, you can call Fi and ask for advice or information about the area. You’ll hear a sound effect and see your sword start to glow when she has something new to share, and she’ll come out to help if you ask her to.
