Nintendo announced today that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is coming to Switch with a fresh remaster. It will release on July 16.

The Wii U already got HD remasters of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, so Skyward Sword’s turn seemed likely. The game first came out for the Wii back in 2011, selling over 3.67 million copies on that platform. It made extensive use of the system’s motion controls, aided by the Wii MotionPlus controller.
