After some hints last night about the possible fix for Joy-Con Drift on Zelda: Skyward Sword controllers, we now bring you more information on the matter, which unfortunately isn’t very positive.
Apparently, the ribbons found on these controllers are not really new. There are earlier Joy-Con models that already include them. This is shown here with yellow controllers:
