Aonuma on what changed to make Zelda: Skyward Sword HD possible
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A remake of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was once deemed “close to impossible” by series producer Eiji Aonuma, but we know that Switch eventually received a new HD version. Aonuma has now commented on what changed since he made those original comments.
When Aonuma was originally speaking about a re-release of Skyward Sword in 2019, he pointed to the game’s controls as being an issue. Moving from motion controls to buttons wouldn’t be an easy task. Those problems were solved though and we did get a new Switch version a couple of years later.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom official guide revealed
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Original (5/7): Piggyback made an official strategy guide book for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in collaboration with Nintendo back in 2017, and the two sides are teaming up once again – now for Tears of the Kingdom.
Retailer listings have made this known just days before the launch of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. An official description indicates that it will include answers for all of the game’s puzzles, riddles, and mysteries plus a curated walkthrough, an atlas of Hyrule, and more. It’s a big guide standing at nearly 500 pages.
It looks like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom official strategy guide book will have a standard version and collector’s edition. Right now we’re uncertain what the latter offers, but with Breath of the Wild, that game’s collector’s edition guide came in premium hardcover, featured an extra-large map poster, and had a small art section.

Zelda producer considers Breath of the Wild to be a “new kind of format for the series to proceed from”

The Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma believes that Breath of the Wild is a “new kind of format for the series to proceed from”, which has continued with Tears of the Kingdom.
Ocarina of Time kicked off the 3D approach to the series which essentially stayed the same through Skyward Sword in terms of approach and how players experience the adventure. Then with Breath of the Wild, Nintendo went in a different direction by offering a much higher degree of freedom. Aonuma now says that type of experience “has created a new kind of format for the series to proceed from.”
