Nintendo's Eiji Aonuma has reportedly teased a Switch version of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

Aonuma-san attended a Legend of Zelda: Concert 2018 performance in Japan over the weekend, with attendees later posting on social media that he brought up the prospect of the motion-sensing adventure game for Ninty's hybrid console.

'We know what you are thinking, Skyward Sword on Switch, right?' he was reported to have said, prompting a rapturous applause from the audience (via Resetera, citing several sources).

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was released on the Wii back in 2011, and utilised 1:1 motion controls allowing Link to swing his weapon based on your exact movements. It was great…when it actually worked properly.

Nintendo has already spruced up The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for Wii U, so a high-definition version of Skyward Sword would make sense.

Still, nothing has been confirmed at this point, so don't read too much into this for the time being.
