The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, a faithful recreation of the 2011 original, is the de facto way to experience one of the series's most slept-on titles. Before that, there was no great way to play Skyward Sword without an original Wii MotionPlus or third-party alternative.
Plenty of DIY solutions were cooked up – and oh boy, were they cooked – but in the end, separating Skyward Sword from its original hardware proved impossible without altering the feeling of the game itself. It stands to reason that Nintendo's controls, bizarre as they can be, are core to the sense of exploration that is The Legend of Zelda's identity.
