The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for the Nintendo Wii was originally built from the ground up for motion control.
As a result, there’s a lot of rocking involved, and if you played in 2011, you may remember how it was quite a workout. Some players also encountered a number of issues: motion controls did not always work as intended, and certain actions were not always recorded during the more crucial moments of the game if movements were not performed correctly.
Thankfully, the HD version of the game coming to Switch is ah …Things change, by allowing players to use a more traditional method of control – also known as. button and analog inputs. While Nintendo made this pretty clear during the game’s recent reveal, it’s now spreading the word about this new control option, which doesn’t just mean you can now play this game on the go (and on a Switch Lite, for that matter) but also makes it much more accessible.
In addition to the button-only control system, Skyward Sword on the Switch also comes with improved motion control support thanks to the updated technology in the Joy-Con controllers. The right controller wields Link’s Sword, while the left controller wields his shield. Just like in the original game, you can also perform other actions with motion controls, such as shooting Link’s bow and arrow.
