Nintendo spokesperson says there are no plans to release Zelda: Skyward Sword on Switch at this time
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
During a concert in Japan last weekend, series producer Eiji Aonuma reportedly hinted at The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for Switch. Eurogamer asked Nintendo for a comment on the situation, to which a spokesperson replied: “At this time we have no plans to release The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword on Nintendo Switch.”
While it’s interesting to see what Nintendo has to say, we don’t believe the comment here is overly important. Representatives are limited in what they can share, and we wouldn’t expect them to provide any significant information. The “at this time” bit also leaves the door open to future possibilities.
