The original Nintendo Switch commercials showed off Skyrim on the coveted portable device, but no one saw this coming. When Skyrim launches on Switch, you’ll be able to use your Link Amiibo to manifest a chest which will contain Link’s Master Sword, and possibly a bunch of gear that looks ripped straight out of Legend of Zelda.

They also had to make sure the first Elder Scrolls game on a Nintendo console got a nod to fans. This is clearly what they came up with, and this author accepts it with all his heart. The role-playing possibilities alone make this worthwhile. Is Hyrule in the Elder Scrolls universe? Is it a hop, skip and a jump through an interdimensional portal away?
