Everything Skyrim for Switch! Zelda Collaboration, Press Release & Box Art

While some gamers out there are disappointed with what has been shown for E3 so far, some are delighted, especially when Bethesda’s new trailer for Skyrim for Switch showed certain Zelda support and that’s not all.

In fact quite a few things were shown off and since then, even more details have been revealed about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for Nintendo Switch so with so much to read and see to get the full picture, we’re back with another of our Everything articles, to put it all in one place and first up, let’s watch that new trailer shall we:

I have never been one for Skyrim in the past but the fact it does have a Zelda collab and amiibo support, suddenly I’m doing a 180 and am all for it. The game does look pretty fantastic after all and with it being smaller than The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, it will be a lot easier to complete, but since there is still plenty more to get through, here is an image of the Switch box art, followed by the official press release and screenshots:

The High King of Skyrim has been murdered. Alliances form as claims to the throne are made. In the midst of this conflict, a far more dangerous, ancient evil is awakened. Dragons, long lost to the passages of the Elder Scrolls, have returned to Tamriel. The future of Skyrim, even the Empire itself, hangs in the balance as they wait for the prophesized Dragonborn to come; a hero born with the power of The Voice, and the only one who can stand amongst the dragons.
