If you’re jumping into the new remaster of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD on Nintendo Switch, then it’s likely you’ll be doing a lot of exploring and puzzle-solving across the floating island of Skyloft. Not only that, but you’ll also have to battle a bunch of pesky critters and bosses that really want to see you six feet under. Luckily, in this guide, we’ll tell you how to roll in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword to help give you a fighting chance against the cheeky beasties that want to eat your face off.

How to Roll in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Of course, your handy sword and shield will be doing a lot of the heavy lifting, but you’ll also need to know how to roll if you want to avoid the nasty monster attacks as you try your best to survive in the colorful and vibrant world of Skyloft.

To roll in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword simply hold the B button to dash and then click the L3 button. When timed right, this will initiate a roll maneuver that’s super useful for dodging incoming enemy attacks and projectiles.

Additionally, rolling can also be effective for bumping into trees as well. Doing this will sometimes reward you with a random collectible bug that can be used in recipes, or a handful of rupees which is the title’s in-game currency. Pretty handy, no?

If, on the other hand, you’re planning on rolling to help speed you up while traveling around the world, then sprinting may be just what you’re looking for. Long story short: sprinting is a wee bit faster than rolling when trying to get from A to B in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

But that’s about everything you need to know on how to roll in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. For more tips, tricks, and guides, search for Twinfinite or head on over to our dedicated Skyward Sword wiki here.
