Random: The Zelda: Skyward Sword Joy-Con Appear To Feature A Neat Character Reference - Nintendo Life

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is now available on the Switch?

As part of this, Nintendo has released a new special set of Zelda: Skyward Sword Joy-Con controllers?

Although the company has already made it clear the controllers are based on the design of the iconic Master Sword and Hylian Shield, it seems some fans have discovered a neat extra detail?

As spotted by a user on the Nintendo Switch subreddit, depending on how you look at it, the wrist straps that come with this new Joy-Con set are the same pattern as the Master Sword grip (or Fi's legs, if you'd prefer).

When he’s not paying off a loan to Tom Nook, Liam likes to report on the latest Nintendo news and admire his library of video games.

Instead of gripping the Master Sword, the Master Sword is now gripping your wrists.

I know they are for Skyward Sword and so they are technically correct but the pedant in me wants them the other way round so Link can be his normal leftie self...

and Fi physically appeared in two (might also factor in Smash) games before the Joy Cons were released, so people already noticed the similarities of Fi to the Master Sword.

Got these on the way to me via Amazon right now.

I was a bit sad they still 'click' when attached to the Switch instead of having a Zelda easter egg like the chest opening noise or something...?

@The_New_Butler but they are different Links in each game - so some are left handed and some are right handed.

@BongoBongo Well while they are different Links only one has ever been right handed and that's because most people in the world are right handed and so when motion controls came along they changed it for this one game.

Fi is the actual Master Sword herself so it's just more of what it already advertised was: the Master Sword joy-con.

How is that news that the Skyward Sword master sword joycon would use the visual designs of the master sword from Skyward Sword.

At least he has been for about 16 years now right.

@The_New_Butler Your point stands, but technically both Wii Zelda games were right handed.

@The_New_Butler As for the third Wii Zelda game, I think he was right handed in Link’s Crossbow Training too

So Wii Link is right handed, Switch he is now ambidextrous and anything else he is left handed

I thought this was the colour they going for as it’s skyward sword joycons

"There you go, Nintendo"
