Since then, though, <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2018-11-26-nintendo-fans-excited-by-zelda-skyward-sword-nintendo-switch-port-reports\">Eurogamer<\/a> has been in contact with a Nintendo representative for more information, sadly confirming that any dreams of seeing Groose in glorious HD are now in tatters.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the clear, to-the-point response they received:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;At this time we have no plans to release The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword on Nintendo Switch&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Zelda franchise has seen a healthy number of remakes in recent years, with <strong><a class=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/3ds\/legend_of_zelda_ocarina_of_time_3d\">Ocarina of Time<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a class=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/3ds\/legend_of_zelda_majoras_mask_3d\">Majora&#8217;s Mask<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a class=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiu\/legend_of_zelda_the_wind_waker_hd\">Wind Waker<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a class=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiu\/legend_of_zelda_twilight_princess_hd\">Twilight Princess<\/a><\/strong> all being treated to HD or 3D overhauls, so an eventual release of the Wii-exclusive doesn&#8217;t seem completely out of the question. While we don&#8217;t want to get your hopes up, we&#8217;d expect Nintendo to deny a Switch port of the game until nearer release even if it was in development; it&#8217;s definitely worth keeping an eye out over the coming months for any more Zelda-related announcements.<\/p>\n<p><em>For now, though, the official word is that no Skyward Sword HD is coming.
