The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD

A high-definition remaster of the 2011 Wii title, featuring updated controls and graphics, exploring the origins of the Master Sword and the floating island of Skyloft.

An experimental unofficial Mac port via NxNative has upstream-reported Mac testing. Testing was conducted on an Apple M6 chip, covering the opening sequence, the Knight Academy, and exploration of Skyloft at 60 fps. Additional testing through the Sailcloth tutorial was reported for versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.1. Full game reliability is unverified as combat, dungeons, and flight mechanics remain untested. Unresolved issues include potential movie playback tearing and inconclusive reports regarding stick sensitivity affecting dash speeds. Requires Apple silicon and macOS 26.6 or later. Not an official Mac release.
