This feature wasn’t included in the HD remaster's Quality of Life Improvements trailer released a couple of weeks ago, which detailed additions such as autosave, skippable cutscenes, and running at 60fps. Still, Skyward Sword was designed around the Wii Remote, and you can still see that design philosophy here in ways that feel strange with a regular controller. It was particularly annoying in some of the more enclosed spaces in the game's dungeons for example, which sometimes required Link to be in a very particular position in order to actually view an item or object that would help to solve a puzzle or progress.
As a consequence, docked mode with motion controls remains the best option, although this goes against the Switch’s primary selling point. This was one of the major points of contention for the original release – due to the limited button configuration of the Wii remote and Nunchuk controller and lack of a second stick, it was often tricky to get the game's camera to sit where you wanted it to be. I like that I can play Skyward Sword on the move without having to use motion controls, but the button placement and design choices, particularly when it comes to the camera, generally work against the player. 3) Ensure you have paired the controller and ready to use for Dolphin.
