During February’s Nintendo Direct, the Big N shared our first look at The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD for the Switch. To sweeten the deal, the company also shared our first look at a special edition set of new Joy-Cons fashioned after the iconic Zelda entry.
The newest style of Joy-Cons represents the famous Hyrulean sword and shield with two shades of blue, the instantly recognizable symbols emblazed on the bottom of each controller and etched with a gold overlay. With a cerulean blue and a rich sky blue, the latest Joy-Cons are a stunning way to celebrate The Legend of Zelda series.
Pictured above, you can see the details on the new Joy-Cons up close and personal. The newest peripherals are a perfect addition to the Switch’s already impressive lineup. Still, I’m little sad not to see Wind Waker before Skyward, but we all win with Zelda, regardless.

As for the Skyward Sword HD port to the Switch, the control scheme for the game has been remade specifically to be enhanced by how the handheld platform operates. Given that the original was motion-based, seeing the changes to the controls, as detailed by producer Eiji Aonuma, the Joy-Cons aim to take the previous motion controls and make them even better and “more intuitive” than the original. Also included in the HD Switch port is the ability to play docked or as in the handheld position, which is another exciting way to see the different ways the Switch gives players a fun and engaging gaming experience.
The new Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Joy-Cons will arrive when the game itself does on July 16 for Nintendo Switch.
