The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Bundle goes for the bling

By Ryan Fleming August 29, 2011

After years of waiting for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, fans will finally be able to rescue the kidnap-friendly princess on November 20. And for those that want to control Link in style, Nintendo has you covered.

Nintendo has announced that it will release a a special bundle for Skyward Sword, containing a blinged-out Wii Remote Plus controller, as well as a CD featuring orchestral recordings of The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony Concert, which will be performed live in Los Angeles and London on October 21 and 25 respectively.

The bundle will also include the game, because, ya know, it would be a rather silly bundle without it.

The special limited-edition version of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will be available on launch day, November 20, for $69.99. The standard version with the game alone will retail for $49.99, but it won’t include the boss controller or the CD.

A Nintendo Switch port of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword could be on the way. Speculation began after a listing for the game popped up on Amazon U.K.

Fans discovered the Amazon pre-order page on Sunday, August 16, with a placeholder release date of January 1, 2030. The listing appeared alongside one for Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered, slated for a November 13, 2020 release on Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Both pages were deleted shortly after they were found.

The Nintendo Switch just got 2 surprise games — and they’re both worth grabbing

A teddy beat sits on an embroidery hoop in Stitch.

If you were unable to catch this week's Nintendo IndieWorld showcase, then you missed a surprisingly loaded show. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes got a May release date, WayForward showed off its Yars' Revenge revival, and Steamworld Heist 2 got an exciting reveal. In the midst of all those headlines, two smaller games were surprise released on the platform: Stitch and Sticky Business. Don't sleep on either of them, as they're both worth a purchase.

Both games are ports of previously released games, but both went a bit under the radar upon their original launch. Sticky Business modestly launched last summer on PC, whereas Stitch has actually been around since 2022 as an Apple Arcade exclusive. The latter even has an Apple Vision Pro version now that can be played in mixed reality. I can't blame anyone for missing either, but their Switch releases offer a good opportunity to catch up with some quiet hidden gems.

Is this Razer’s Steam Deck killer?

Razer has been oddly quiet in the burgeoning world of handheld gaming PCs. When I met up with the company at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) to learn about its new products, I was happy to hear it had an answer to the success of the Steam Deck.

But it was not the type of answer I was expecting.
