The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is a video game made in 2011 for the Wii. Unlike the other Legend of Zelda games, it focuses more on combat, keeping the role-playing and puzzle elements seen in earlier games. The story is connected with the rest of the Legend of Zelda series, and the story is about how the master sword was created. The player travels between two worlds: Skyloft, an island in the sky which is the main area in the game, and Hyrule, which is located on the Earth. It makes use of the Wii MotionPlus add-on for the Wii Remote. The player uses the Wii Remote to swing Link's sword.
Link is the hero in this game. Zelda is Link's childhood friend, and the heroine in the story. Ghirahim is the main villain who schemes to revive an ancient evil. In this game, you can go to four different "realms", such as the Faron, Eldin, and the Lanyuru, as well as Skyloft.
A limited edition bundle with a gold Wii MotionPlus and a CD with orchestrated versions of the series' well-known music tracks was sold to mark the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda.
A port, titled The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, was released worldwide for the Nintendo Switch on July 16, 2021.
