The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has been revealed to sport yet another quality of life update for the Nintendo Switch: it will let you rotate the camera with the analog stick.
The way that it works is that you can move the camera in motion controls mode but not in the new button controls mode unless you're holding down L.

You couldn't rotate the camera in the original Skyward Sword since, like with Mario Galaxy, it was played with a Wii Remote and a Nunchuk – that's only one analog stick to be clear. Meanwhile, the Switch has two, so it has one free. On the Wii, Nintendo had to use something to let the players move which left no room for camera controls, but now there's space for both.
Some changes have been made to the opening hours of The Legend of #Zelda: #SkywardSwordHD to make for a smoother play experience, and to get you on your grand adventure to the surface world sooner! Here’s one example where mandatory advice from Horwell has been adjusted. pic.twitter.com/KofowPZwn4

You can see the camera in action in the above video that Nintendo shared on Twitter. It's not the focal point or highlighted in the text, but it's on display all the same.
The video also showcases the changes to Skyward Sword's tutorial which can now be skipped entirely.
We also recently found out that Skyward Sword now has an autosave feature for the Nintendo Switch port, meaning that – if you die without having saved for a little while at the Bird Statues – then you won't lose an irritating amount of progress.
Skyward Sword launches this Friday, July 16, for the Nintendo Switch.
