The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HDsits atop the Amazon world. Less than a week afterSkyward Sword HDwas confirmed for the Switchduring the Nintendo Direct earlier this week, it is the top-selling game on Amazon US’s best selling chart.
AlthoughThe Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HDis an exciting game for some, there were abevy of games seemingly missing from the Nintendo Direct; specifically from theZeldafranchise. Many expected to see an update from the sequel toBreath of the Wildwhile others genuinely hoped that The HD remakes of bothThe Legend of Zelda: Wind WakerandThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, former Wii U games, would also be announced for the Switch.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HDcurrently ranks number one on Amazon USA and number five in Amazon UK. Of course, this is based on pre-orders for the game, as the full-release will not be ready until July. Other relevant Nintendo games on the list includeSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury.
What is very interesting about Nintendo and any borderline controversial decision-making is that it often works out in the company’s favor. WhileZeldafans left the massive 50-minute Nintendo Direct looking for more and even being bummed thatSkyward Swordwould be sold for $60 USD, the result for The Big N is thatZeldais atop the Amazon charts. Likewise, while some fans were confused as to why a game likeSuper Mario 3D All-Starswould only be on sale for a certain period of time until March 31, thegame broke digital sales Switch records. For better or worse, Nintendo seems to know what it is doing.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HDlaunches July 16, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
