Speculations about the “Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword” port for Nintendo Switch is revived recently. The game has been spotted in a product listing on Amazon UK along with the option to pre-order it, thus, sparking rumors that it could be in the pipeline.
‘Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword’ gets a Nintendo Switch port soon?
Avid Nintendo fans have been asking when they are getting a new “Legend of Zelda” game on the Switch console. While rumors about the development of the “Breath of the Wild” sequel has been around for a while now, a different title from the series may be the next addition to the Switch games library.
The “Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword” has been listed on Amazon UK. The product page is still active as of this writing, and the digital store also offers an option to pre-order the game. This is interesting primarily because Nintendo has yet to confirm bringing the 2011 game to its popular console.
The information included in the “Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword” Amazon UK listing is scarce. The game is priced £69.99 (~$92) with a note that reads, “This item has not yet been released.” For its release date, the product page shows Jan. 1, 2030, which is obviously just a placeholder.

What does this listing mean? Despite the generally positive response to seeing “Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword” listed for Nintendo Switch, this does not confirm that the game is really slated to launch on the hybrid portable console.
Reports dating back to 2018 have been suggesting the possibility of the game’s new port. However, a representative of Nintendo told Eurogamer at the time, “We have no plans to release ‘The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword’ on Nintendo Switch.”
What is ‘Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword’
If “Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword” were to be released on Switch, it is going to be interesting how Nintendo tweaks its gameplay and adapts to the Switch controllers. The action-adventure game has players assume the role of the franchise main protagonist Link.
As the title suggests, Link’s most used pieces of equipment in the game were his sword and shield. To control these and Link’s movements, “Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword” required the Wii Remote, Nunchuck, and Wii MotionPlus. If the game ended up having a Switch port, its mechanics are likely to change and rely more on hotkey controls considering the compatible Nintendo Switch controllers and peripherals.
