Dress up as Link thanks to amiibo support or slash down enemies with your Joy-Con in the Nintendo Switch version of Skyrim! 

Not content with getting juicy E3 news from the Microsoft and EA presentations, we now have some news from the Bethesda conference in the form of Skyrim Nintendo Switch features!

Despite initial fears, it seems this won't be a straight-forward port but will instead feature exclusive content for Nintendo Switch.

The first and most surprising feature of this version is the inclusion of The Legend of Zelda amiibo. By scanning any Zelda series amiibo (BOTW, Smash, 30th anniversary range) you'll be able to unlock Zelda specific items such as the Master Sword or even dress up in Link's new blue clothing from Breath of the Wild. 

The other new feature comes in the form of optional motion controls which allow you to aim and shoot an arrow or hack down enemies using the Switch Joy-Cons. 

We're still waiting for an official release date but to tide you over, here's a brand new trailer:
