If a new pair of Joy-Cons and an amiibo isn't enough merchandise for you, Skyward Sword HD will also come with a steelbook, as shown above. This will be available as a pre-order bonus at certain shops and retailers, so keep an eye out.
I personally never really cared much about steelbooks until the Nintendo Switch, where now I can't get enough of them. I do have some older steelbooks for a couple of Nintendo 3DS games, e.g. the one that came with the Special Edition of Majora's Mask 3D, but those never really enticed me. They were just clunky and ugly for the most part.
With the small size of the Nintendo Switch game boxes, however, these steelbooks turn out really good looking and I've somehow ended up with a small collection already. I have the ones from the Collector's / Limited / Special Editions of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, both Xenoblade Chronicles games and Link's Awakening, as well as the one for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury from earlier this year. And this will be another nice addition.
I really like the side with the Hylian Shield and Master Sword. That does look very nice. The dark color scheme doesn't really fit Skyward Sword all that well, but it makes for a good steelbook.
But at this point Nintendo really should have made a Limited Edition for the game, where it comes with the special Joy-Cons, the new amiibo and this steelbook. Now you have to be fast and lucky enough to get pre-orders on three different items, instead of just one.
