'Skyward Sword' Downloadable Fix is in the Works

The fix - not a patch, mind you - has already launched in Japan and is on the way to the U.S.

Say what you will about 'Skyrim' and 'Old Republic' being glitchy, at least the games are playable. There's a really unfortunate glitch in 'The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword' that make the game unwinnable if triggered.

Nintendo is aware of the issue and has released information on the events that trigger the glitch and how to avoid recreating it in your game. At the time, Nintendo had no plans to update the game that people already have with a patch. That's still the case, but at least they've offered something besides a warning.

Nintendo will soon - no firm date has been announced but it's already out in Japan - launch the Zelda Data Restoration Channel, which will allow you to fix 'Skyward Sword' saves that were damaged by the bug.

'The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword' has a Game Breaking Glitch - Nintendo Issues Warning

There's no word of a patch, and it's probably best not to get your hopes up. Also - spoiler alert.

Alright, so spoiler warning here folks - we're going to talk about things that happen in 'Skyward Sword' because the glitch in the game can't be talked about otherwise. You've been warned!

The way Nintendo explains it, this glitch renders the game unable to be finished. The company has issued full details on how the glitch happens so that you don't end up doing it in your copy of the game, but there's no plan to fix the game via patch. The details of how to cause the glitch are below.

1. At the beginning of the quest, go to Lanayru Desert to retrieve the song of the Thunder Dragon.
2. In the Lanayru Mine, speak with Golo the Goron.
3. Complete the Thunder Dragon's event, and receive his song.
4. Before heading to the forest or volcano regions, speak with Golo in the mine again.
5. At this point, the forest and volcano events will no longer occur, making it impossible to continue.
