Here is an overview of the game:
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword game soars onto Nintendo Switch!
Take to the skies, draw your sword, and experience the earliest story in The Legend of Zelda series. Join Link in his high-flying quest to save Zelda, a childhood friend who must confront her destiny. Soar between floating islands and descend to the treacherous surface world in this updated HD version of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword game.
Master realistic swordplay that corresponds to your movements
Gently swing your sword and angle your slashes to uncover and break through opponents’ defenses using intuitive motion controls. Link’s in-game movements will correspond to the angle of each strike you make with the Joy-Con™ controller, creating immersive swordplay that relies on strategy and accuracy. Movements feel smoother and more immediate thanks to the Nintendo Switch system’s increased processing power and HD graphics. Take advantage of the newly-added button only control scheme—perfect for playing in handheld mode or on the Nintendo Switch Lite system.
Fly high with the Zelda & Loftwing amiibo figure
With her majestic Loftwing by her side, Zelda steps into her destiny alongside her childhood friend, Link. Scan this amiibo figure from anywhere on the surface world to quickly travel to the sky—even within the depths of a dungeon. Scan it again above the clouds to return to the same spot on the surface.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD will launch for the Nintendo Switch on July 16 for $59.99.

I really really hope the much needed warp feature is not Amiibo exclusive!
Can’t wait to replay this and see how improved the intended motion controls are this time around. It wasn’t bad on the Wii, but it was also far from perfect. With the improved motion tech inside the Joycons, I think the game will be even more enjoyable than it was back then.
When it comes to Zelda stories, this one is still unmatched by any others in my book. But I hope Aonuma will take a page from that game and improve the storytelling for the sequel to BOTW, because, while the story of BOTW in itself wasn’t bad, the storytelling method used felt disconnected from the experience, even if it was by design.
Do they have an option to turn off Fi, otherwise, what's the point of this?
