The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD – Softlock Bug discovered

Players of The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD discovered a bug that could potentially cause a softlock at a certain point.

The bug is encountered at Lanayru Mining Facility, where players have to solve a puzzle involving pushing a block into the correct position to progress.

Several players noted that the block may sometimes get stuck along the path, preventing players from moving it and rendering them unable to get past the puzzle.

Sadly it is unclear what exactly is causing this bug to occur, although some have speculated that it could be caused by not blowing away the sand out of the path before attempting the puzzle.

Other players who encountered the bug stated that it was fixed after restarting the game and this seems to be the recommended fix for now. But still beware of this one guys!
