This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for Nintendo Wii
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword follows Link from floating Skyloft into an unknown world below the clouds. Wii MotionPlus maps sword direction into combat and puzzles, requiring a Wii Remote Plus or MotionPlus attachment. Dungeons, flights and revisited regions gradually reveal new routes. A limited edition may include extra packaging or a CD when the product title states it.
The campaign builds each situation around clear objectives, enemies or obstacles and controls that you gradually learn to master. Difficulty comes from timing, positioning and intelligent use of available resources. Exploring, trying again and choosing another approach often achieve more than haste. The fixed content on the disc therefore matters most. Any network features are mentioned only as historical options, not as services guaranteed to work today.
This Nintendo Wii release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was checked separately for controls, presentation and delivery. The product title determines whether a regular, budget or No Manual edition is supplied. Historical network features are not promised as available; local matches, campaign or career on the disc remain the core of this version. This keeps the platform, controls and edition clearly separate from later reissues.
Region and language
Our Nintendo Wii games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for Nintendo Wii includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Nintendo EAD developed Skyward Sword, released in Europe on 18 November 2011 during Zelda's 25th anniversary. It placed events early in the series timeline and tied sword direction closely to enemy defence. Skyward Sword HD from 2021 added button controls and technical improvements that do not belong to the Wii disc.
This physical release preserves a defined version from its original console generation. Later expansions, patches, servers and reissues may have added or changed features, but are not attributed to this disc. Its original design choices and technical limits belong to this edition. Developer, release period and platform were therefore checked separately. Differences in controls, presentation and accessories between consoles are also stated where they affect what can actually be played.
