skyward sword sold less than the original wind waker on gamecube, but i can see it coming bundled with other games like mario sunshine has done. But if nintendo doesn't do a bundle i don't think we'll get an hd overhaul. i would consider a miracle a basic port/emulation like galaxy on the eshop.
I really liked the soundtrack and the story above all!
One way or another skyward sword HD needs to happen! My only gripe with it was that sometimes it was finicky trying to throw bombs with the motion controls. Sword attacks were almost never an issue for me. You just have to swing lightly. Not really quickly like you're trying to swat a fly. I loved the music, Link and Zelda's design, the overall look, the somewhat shortened dungeons only not as short as those pathetic shrines in BOTW. Also Fi wasn't half as annoying as Navi with her hey! Look! listen! everytime i tried to open a door.
Skyward sword is easily in my top 10 favorite Zelda games of all time!

If Nintendo follows the same format as Mario and wants to show 3D Zelda games across different systems, this must make Skyward Sword a highly likely inclusion in a three game collection?
@MarioBrickLayer
I don't think so. They need to make so many changes to SS, and if they do that, they want to sell it for 60. If they do collection I believe there would be Ocarina, WW and TP. WW and TP would be minimal effort Wii U ports.
@teo_o Pretty sure SS sold less cause it required an extra Add-on, the "Motion plus". That's a big turn off for many people, especially since this game released very late in the Wiis lifecircle where people are even less willing o buy an add-on for an old console
Yeah that motion plus thing, that did kinda make it less appealing. Especially considering it was only used in what 4 games? Skyward sword, Red steel 2, Wii sports resort and I forget what else. The Wii was basically on its last legs and they wanted people to go get an accessory for it. Genius!
@Zeldafan79 I think they probably committed to the idea years before and the SS delays ultimately made it seem a bit silly.
That and Nintendo clearly had the idea that all the motion plus controllers would be useful going forwards because everyone would be using them with their Wii U’s...
Aside from that though - I’ve always thought that SS on Switch makes sense. They should have released it a couple of year ago - it is the pre-eminent motion controlled game ever made and has some very well designed and memorable bits (even if it’s not the best Zelda game and has a ton of annoying flaws).
@mariomaster96 there's an interesting article here on nintendolife about it. the motion plus might have definitely have a part in it, but by the release of SS wii remote plus had been included with the console for a year, and wii sports resort has sold 30 milion copies.
It would be interesting to see how well it did digitally on WiiU, but then again, the console wasn't a huge success so...
In the end i don't think it really matters, i don't know the specifics, but i doubt SS was a loss in development costs, and if nintendo wants to have a substancial retro library on switch to appeal fans, they'll port it anyway i think.
I would love to come back to it and see it with news eyes! https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/04/talking_point_why_s...
I love this game, it'll be fun to play it again on Switch. Doesn't seem like there'll be anything new though. Oh and the text size for the Item Grab scene is just awful.
It didn't seem HD like WW and TP were, but to be honest with the style they choose for SS, if you update the textures the game's going to look washed out anyway, which i like!!
This may as well have been a new Zelda game announcement for me. I never played the original solely due to the forced motion controls, after trying other games with them and hating it.
So, this is fantastic news!
