The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Opening Changed for a Smoother Experience - News

Nintendo announced it has changed the opening hours of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD to make for a smoother play experience. This gets the players to the surface world sooner. 

"Some changes have been made to the opening hours of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD to make for a smoother play experience, and to get you on your grand adventure to the surface world sooner!" reads a tweet from Nintendo of America.  

The tweet from Nintendo also shows a clip of how mandatory advice from Horwell has been adjusted.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD will feature an autosave system that automatically saves your progress at "regular intervals." When you save at a Bird Statue, you can choose from one of three save slots. 

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD will launch for the Nintendo Switch on July 16 for $59.99.

This same clip apparently demonstrates something that has not yet been announced: in the HD version you can freely control the camera (some movements that appear are not controlled by the console, and did not appear in the original version).
