The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Unofficial PC Port Released

At this point, we should rename DSOGaming to PC recomps. But can you blame me? Each and every day, we get unofficial PC ports of some of the coolest console and arcade games. And now, we have an unofficial PC port of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD.

The PC port uses Vulkan to run on NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs. It supports 60 FPS, as well as internal resolutions up to 4K.

What’s also cool here is that SkyRecomp supports mouse and keyboard. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is a third-person game. So, at least for me, this is a game I want to play with KB&M. And, like almost all recent PC recomps, it supports this PC control scheme from the get-go. There is also support for Xbox pads, PlayStation pads, and the Nintendo Pro Controller.

The PC port has a simple setup tool, too. You can pick your game file and key file in a menu. The tool then extracts the game data and starts the game. You do not need to use command-line tools to set it up.

To run it, you’ll need a 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 PC, a CPU with AVX2 support, and a Vulkan 1.3 graphics card. You’ll need at least 8 GB of RAM, with 16 GB advised. The game will also require 15GB of free space.

This is the second PC port of a Nintendo Switch game we have gotten. The first was for The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. A PC port of Super Mario Bros. Wonder has also been released, but it doesn’t have a public release. Instead, you’ll have to build it yourselves. This is the main reason I have not covered it.

Those interested can go ahead and download it from here. As always, it does not include any in-game assets. To play it, you must own a copy of Skyward Sword HD for Switch and dump your own game files and keys.

In case you are into projects like these, you can also download the unofficial PC ports of Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Mario Strikers.

But what about non-Super Mario games? Well, right now, you can download the unofficial PC ports of Crash Team Racing, Forza Horizon 2, and Duke Nukem: Zero Hour. You can also play The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Majora’s Mask, Perfect Dark, Call of Duty 3, and Jak & Daxter.

These past few weeks, I also shared the unofficial PC versions of The Simpsons Game, Peter Jackson’s King Kong, Gears of War 3, and Bloodborne. Let’s also not forget the PC ports of Virtua Fighter Arcade, Splinter Cell: Double Agent, and Metroid Prime.

For our SNES fans, we also have a PC port of Star Fox. We also got a PC port of F-Zero. Brian Tate has also brought the three classic SNES Donkey Kong Country games to PC. Plus, we got a PC port of Mother 2/EarthBound.

For our PS4 fans, we have unofficial PC ports of Bloodborne, Shadow of the Colossus, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, God of War 3 Remastered, Gran Turismo Sport, Killzone Shadowfall, and The Last Guardian.

In September 2026, we shared a lot of unofficial PC ports. So, you can download and enjoy on PC Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link,  WET, The Darkness, Spider-Man: Edge of Time, Mercenaries, GTA: Liberty City Stories, Fable 2, Burnout Revenge, and Lost Odyssey.

And that’s not all of them. We also have the unofficial PC ports of Mario Party 4, Sonic Unleashed, GoldenEye 007, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Silent Hill, and Super Smash Bros. 64. In July 2026, we shared the unofficial PC ports of Gears of War 2 and Syphon Filter. Then, in August 2026, we shared the PC ports of Diddy Kong Racing and Ace Combat 6. Let’s also not forget the unofficial PC versions of Wave Race 64, Blue Dragon, and Pikmin.  Finally, you can download the PC ports of Ninja Gaiden 2, Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Tekken 3.

Have fun!
