That\u2019s something, I guess. Still, for the real Zelda fans out there, there was one bit of welcome news: an HD port of <em>The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, so <em>Skyward Sword<\/em> isn\u2019t everyone\u2019s <em>favorite<\/em> Zelda game, largely because of the extensive use of motion controls and sparse overworld. I\u2019m sure some would rather see another series title make its way over to the Switch. But as someone who loved that game \u2014 including what I considered to be excellent&nbsp;motion controls \u2014 I\u2019m pretty hyped, specially as Nintendo says that the Switch\u2019s processing power and Joy-Cons will enable more accurate and reliable motion controls.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u6GX79JWLvo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For the haters, those who couldn\u2019t use motion controls, and those using the Switch Light (or playing handheld), Nintendo has also given players to option to use a combination of buttons and the right analog stick instead of motion controls. Considering how the motion controls factor into even basic enemy battles in that game, I\u2019m curious to see just how well they translate.<\/p>\n<p>Controls aside, Nintendo the resolution has been inreased and the game runs at a smooth 60 frames per second, but otherwise appears to be largely unchanged from the original. The game releases July 16, along with these snazzy Joy-Cons\u2026<\/p>\n<p><figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1339480 lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/Snag_821593.png\" alt width=\"858\" height=\"514\" sizes=\"(max-width: 858px) 100vw, 858px\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/Snag_821593.png 1767w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/Snag_821593-280x168.png 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/Snag_821593-451x270.png 451w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/Snag_821593-225x135.png 225w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/Snag_821593-796x477.png 796w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/02\/Snag_821593-1592x954.png 1592w\"><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u2026which I want right now.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/gaming\/2021\/02\/18\/zelda-skyward-sword-hd-on-nintendo-switch\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most of us watching the Nintendo Direct today were hoping for news about \u2018Breath of the Wild 2,\u2019 only to be disappointed to learn we\u2019d have to wait longer \u2014 series producer&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3142,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.londonchiropracter.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3141"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.londonchiropracter.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.londonchiropracter.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.londonchiropracter.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.londonchiropracter.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3141"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.londonchiropracter.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3141\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.londonchiropracter.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.londonchiropracter.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.londonchiropracter.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.londonchiropracter.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
