About this game

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword once again places the player in control of Link, a Hylian boy who this time around lives in the floating nation of Skyloft.

Link is in love with a local girl called Zelda but one day, while flying on their bird mounts, a tornado shows up out of nowhere and takes Zelda away from Link.

After that, Link teams up with Fi, a spirit living within a sword, and descends to the long-forgotten Surface to search for Zelda.

The game is structured very similarly to previous Zelda games: you travel through an overworld in search of temples to visit, and once in, you solve a series of puzzles before fighting a boss at the end and receiving the next bit of plot.

The biggest change is that the overworld is more focused on puzzles this time around, with only a handful of action.

Also new is the implementation of the Wii Motion Plus which allows full 1:1 controls and new puzzle possibilities.

The 2021 Nintendo Switch HD version includes: Enhanced graphics and framerate Improved motion controls and all-new button and stick control scheme Free camera control at certain points of the game An intuitive auto-save function, which lets the player automatically save when passing an owl statue instead of manually stopping and saving Streamlined opening tutorials and item descriptions, as well as skippable cutscenes and dialogues (including Fi's interactions with Link) Amiibo support, using the new Loftwing amiibo to instantaneously transport Link from Skyloft to the Surface and vice-versa

About Nintendo Wii U

The Wii U (2012) was commercially Nintendo's least successful home console, hampered by market confusion over whether the GamePad tablet controller was a new device or a Wii accessory. Its low sales mean smaller overall print runs across the board, and several first-party and indie darlings have already become noticeably pricier than their commercial performance would suggest, since there are simply fewer copies in circulation.

Gamevaro tracks The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for Nintendo Wii U with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WIU release dates back to 2011.

Condition matters a lot for collector value: loose (cartridge/disc only), complete-in-box (CIB, with original packaging and manual) and factory-sealed copies are tracked separately because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
