Featuring the original sins of the Zelda series, both in-universe and out.

The newest remake in Nintendo's quest to prove that The Legend of Zelda is actually their Sonic comes out this week with Skyward Sword HD - and I'm a little tied up with last week and next, so if you want to put up with a Zelda game that even with its QoL fixes has a stamina meter affecting movement (ergo, a bad one) feel free. Other things I'll be watching instead are Indie World veteran Labyrinth City, the time focused deduction game Lotus Reverie: First Nexus, and the scrolling shooter for those with an Icarus complex in Risk System.
Some other things to note: There's a sequel on the list to a game whose original Zach gave a 1.5, the lowest score we've given all year and just the third time we've gone that low since Switch's launch. Maybe... pass on that one?
Japan gets a nice summer vacation, more EDF, and a game whose title I thought would break our system for game titles so it's in under a blessedly short six character name instead.
