Game news Zelda: Skyward Sword HD and 60 FPS on Switch
Ten years after its release on the Wii, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is back on Switch in an optimized and improved version.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD will be released on July 16 with a number of improvements on Switch, compared to the original title on Wii. These improvements include (this information is provided by Nintendo in a press release):
- An optional Fay helper : Fay appeared during the cutscenes or when his help was needed in the Wii version. It can now be accessed manually for advice or tutorials if needed.
- Improved flowability : The game runs at 60 frames per second for an even smoother gameplay.
- The ability to speed up the dialogues : The texts displayed on the screen can be accelerated by pressing the B key.
- Information windows are no longer repeated : Declarations for collectibles such as insects and materials now only appear the first time an item is received.
- The ability to skip the cutscenes : Edited scenes can be shortened by pressing the B button.
- Automatic backup : The game progress is saved automatically, in addition to the existing manual saves.
- Tutorial dialogues that can be abbreviated : The tutorials that teach the basics of the game have been revised and corrected to be less present and intrusive.
- New controls : Skyward Sword HD is adapted to Joy-Con, with the ability to play motion gaming like on the Wii or in a more classic way with the controllers of the Switch
As a reminder, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD will be released in physical versions for Nintendo Switch on July 16th. The digital version can already be pre-ordered in the eShop for $ 59.99.
