The original Wii game “The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword” will be released soon for the Nintendo Switch.

With the controller in your left hand, you can use the shield. You can also use any of the controllers to perform other actions, such as archery. It is also possible to operate the button controls so that they can also be triggered. The game is in manual mode or on “Nintendo Switch Lite.”
