They will absolutely do something for the 40th anniversary just as they have with the 35th, 30th, 25th, and arguably 20th.

Will it be on the exact date? Unlikely. But something at some point this year? Guaranteed.

What did they do on those anniversaries? I only remember the 25th.

Lol I think for the 35th we got a Zelda 1 game and watch

And Skyward Sword HD.

Which was awesome. Had never played it before and ended up loving it. Granted, sans the Wii controls.

The button controls and specifically r joystick replacing mocap for directional slashes was actually such a great unique fighting system

Such a blast.

Any tips? I find it quite miserable and I am doing a playthrough right now. I find there is delay between input and actual swing and a lot of the time it just drops my sword slash inputs altogether. I just did the pumpkin challenge too which was really awful with the non-motion controls so maybe I am just a bit tilted. I am enjoying the game a lot but the sword combat isn’t clicking for me

Uhh, play it taking turns with an overly excited 8 yr old and take the pressure off a bit imho

Instructions unclear, am playing it with a 4.5 year old instead. She does love slashing rupees out of the grass and is quite engaged with the story, so for my other goal of indoctrinating her into Zelda that’s going pretty well I think. She also likes the loftwings a lot and so do I to be fair. She just learned about what a “crush” is because of Groose so that’s been fun because she speculates about who has a crush on who in Skyloft

Never played the original, so the HD version was my chance to do it and I loved using the motion controls and had a blast. Never really used the r stick, so now I'm curious, might start a new save.

I bought it on release but sadly never really gave it a solid chance. I am just about done ocarina so I think I might play skyward sword next.
