‘The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword’ Is Now Available On The Wii U eShop

Nintendo is going all in with the 30th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda. To get gamers up to speed on all of Link’s adventures, the company announced that the latest mainline Zelda title, the Wii’s Skyward Sword, is now available to purchase in the Wii U eShop.

Set as the earliest game in the notoriously confusing timeline, Skyward Sword took us to Skyloft back when it released in 2011. Trading in his horse for a Loftwing, Link flew through the skies to take on a threat that would set the entire saga into motion, creating what would become the kingdom of Hyrule. Somewhat infamous for Nintendo’s decision to make the game completely motion controlled, AND requiring Wii Motion Plus technology, (which when released, had been built in to new Wii Remotes for some time), it’s gone on to be one of the most polarizing entries in the core series of games.

Now, more people will get the chance to decide for themselves with this surprise release. Retailing for $19.99, Skyward Sword is the last of the 3D Zelda games to get some sort of re-release, with Majora’s Mask and Twilight Princess rounding out the list over the last year. Now there’s no excuse to enjoy the full timeline before Breath of the Wild launches early next year!
