Quality Of Life Improvements Detailed for Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword HD

Nintendo has detailed some of the quality-of-life improvements made to The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD.

Besides improving visuals, textures, resolution, and performing at 60fps, there will also be several improvements to ensure a more enjoyable experience.

Skyward Sword HD will offer hints and guidance (should you ask for help). You can fast-forward dialogue, skip cut-scenes, take advantage of an auto-save, and more. All these improvements did not feature in the 2011 original which was released on the Nintendo Wii.

You can check out the rest of the improvement via the official press release from Nintendo, as well as watching an overview gameplay video.
