Zelda 35th Anniversary: 9 Things Fans NEED To See

3. More Changes To Skyward Sword

While the ability to play Skyward Sword without those awful game-stopping motion controls is welcome (though the Switch's analogue controls for Link's sword swings remain to be tested), there was plenty more bogging down the game than just the underbaked Wii Motion Plus.

From a bare hub world to unnecessary text-boxes and interruptions and a needlessly repeated boss fight, it would be great to see Nintendo iron out some of this game's edges, rather than just give it a cosmetic facelift.

Give us more of the customisation options like those featured in Breath Of The Wild! Open new areas in the hub world and the game's core regions to allow for at least a shred of exploration! Cut down the number of times players need to fight against The Imprisoned - or just axe this annoying boss battle altogether! Introduce more side-quests so Link has something to do in the bare Sky!

Seriously Nintendo, marginally better graphics are not enough to salvage what is widely considered to be the worst 3D game in The Legend Of Zelda franchise.
