Save a few times in the Lanaryu Mining Facility
People have been making their way throughZelda: Skyward Sword HDwith a degree of haste, but given that it can be upwards of a 40-hour game if you stop and smell the roses a bit, it makes sense that people are still chipping away at it. To that end, some folks think they’ve identified aZelda: Skyward Sword HDlock that’s preventing progress. Here’s your warning!
Spotted by Nintendo Life, thisReddit post from Sawyerqspoints out the bug beautifully in video form. So the issue lies withinthe Lanayru Mining Facility, a main dungeon inSkyward Sword(the one with all the conveyor belts). Predictably, theZelda: Skyward Sword HDlock deals with a fiddly crate that doesn’t want to budge. As a result, players can’t actually reach a higher ledge and progress with the dungeon.
Can I just say how infuriating this might be for a newSkyward Sword HDplayer who doesn’t seek out guides? In a typicalZeldagame you’d probably chalk it up to intent, and wander around the dungeon for alternate doors or puzzles to circumvent the box zone. But you’ll find no such reprieve! That box needs to move.
As always, it’s up to us to make this bug known to Nintendo so they can prevent players from encountering it and ruining their game. In the meantime, try and save frequently when you’re in the Lanaryu Mining Facility to ensure thisZelda: Skyward Sword HDlock doesn’t happen.
A commenter on that same Reddit post also reported that the box was magically fixed after they quit and came back to the game. If you have multiple saves, the odds of you not encountering the glitch again as you waltz into the room may be higher. Good luck!
