{{quote|Originally released in 2011 for the Wii system, and depicting the earliest story in the series’ timeline – as well as the creation of the Master Sword itself – The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword game now arrives on Nintendo Switch with smoother and more intuitive controls, in addition to improved framerate and graphics. In this enhanced version of the game, running at a smooth 60 frames per second, you can choose to play using motion control with the two Joy-Con controllers in a similar way to the original, or use newly added button-only controls to play the game with the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, in handheld mode or using a Nintendo Switch Lite system. A set of themed Joy-Con controllers will also be released alongside the game: the right Joy-Con controller is themed after the Master Sword, while the left features the Hylian Shield motif. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, and the themed Joy-Con, launch separately for Nintendo Switch on July 16.|Press Release}}

*The game now runs at 60 FPS instead of 30 FPS.
*The game can be controlled with buttons instead of motion controls.
*The camera can now be freely controlled.
*The game now autosaves to a fourth save slot, and the player can save their game to any of the three available slots.
*Dialogue moves faster and can be skipped more quickly in many cases.
*Cutscenes can be skipped even if the player is not in [[Hero Mode]].
*Some tutorial dialogue has been cut down or become optional. In certain cases where [[Fi]] would provide repetitive information, her icon will now flash instead, allowing players to optionally listen to her.

*The Zelda & Loftwing [[amiibo]] can be used to go to [[The Sky|the sky]] immediately from the [[Surface]] without a [[Bird Statue]].
