Nintendo has released a new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, focusing on the new additions and updates made to the game for the Nintendo Switch release in two weeks’ time.
Aside from the previously announced option of being able to ditch the motion controls to use the sticks, you’ll also be able to call on optional help from Fi at any time. The fairy can offer hints on puzzles, or just refresh your memory as to what you’re doing next, if it’s been a while since your last session.
Of course, the more modern hardware of the Nintendo Switch compared to the 2011 original Wii means this version includes an enhanced framerate for smoother gameplay. But also you’ll be able to get through the game quicker if that’s your jam thanks to the ability to fast forward dialogue, skippable cutscenes and streamlined item information.
You can check out the trailer for yourself below. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD launches for the Nintendo Switch on July 16. There’ll also be a Zelda and Loftwing amiibo available on the same day.
