Customer Ratings & Reviews

Skyward Sword HD as great addition to the Switch. The somewhat controversial wii title had one of it's main mechanics addressed in this port. Being able to use your analogs instead of motion to control Link's attacks was a welcome change, making it the best way to play this game.

Great game with upgraded visuals and game play. Great price and in stock at Best Buy!

An excellent remake that fixes the controls and visuals of the classic Wii game.

Great remaster. Good graphics and controls. It was a gift amd the recipient loved it

I missed out when this game originally came out. The gameplay gets some getting use to. It's kinda motion control/using the control stick. Story is basically the beginning of everything. This is chronologically the first Zelda game in the time line. It pairs nicely with Breath of the Wild. Music is great. Not my favorite zelda music but that doesn't mean it's bad.

Excellent remake of the original game. Runs smoothly on switch, a lot of fun!

Great Zelda remake for the Nintendo Switch. Always good to play a classic on an updated system.

Reworked controls are much better than on the Wii and the updated graphics are nice.

Being one who loved the game on the switch despite its annoying motion controls , i truly looked forward to this release, especially when i was told they offered a alternative to the motions controls. Unfortunately the controls are terrible, how anyone thought it would be a good idea to use the sticks instead of just buttons is beyond me. Visuals arent any noticeable amount better. The game is still compelling but with these flaws it makes it a average release

Awesome re-release.Love the new controls and HD upgrades. A must for any Zelda Fan!

The quality of life improvements from the Wii version to Switch are very noticeable. The motion controls are much more responsive and the amount of dialogue boxes are reduced which gives the game a more natural flow. Highly recommended for all Zelda fans who played the original Skyward Sword or new to this title.

Skyward Sword is a tremendously challenging game which requires patience, problem solving skills, quickness and fearlessness. There are all kinds of monsters in this game, which make it more fun. The game play continues to unfold and evolve, with one of the most compelling video game storylines in existence. Completion of this game feels like a major accomplishment.

Great game overall! Very impressed with the graphics and gameplay.

Great Zelda game, intense storytelling, graphic design, love all of the Zelda characters and their stories. Will recommend to everyone

So great to have a non motion control version with better graphics. Great story

Skyward Sword HD is a fantastic game, and easily worth a buy. It gets a bad rep on the Wii because of the motion controls. Now you take a famtastic Zelda game, and remove one of the consumer's biggest complaints, you have an amazing games on one of the best consoles. I highly recommend the game. Whether you played the original or didnt get the chance I cannot recommend this game enough.

So far it’s okay. Now let me emphasize I HATE motion controls. With a passion so I was extremely judgmental of this game as I played the original and never finished it because I couldn’t stand the gameplay this one makes use of buttons and makes it much easier for me to enjoy without swinging my arms around. For someone who works with his arms all day the last thing I wanted was to use them to play Zelda. Now for the bad these button controls still kind of blow. They can’t really be edited to suit you you just have to deal with it and while I love the attempt this just isn’t the best Zelda has to offer IMHO

Best of the best. It's Zelda after all. Not totally open world but close.

Great game. Enjoy the mechanics and choice between buttons and motion control.

I bought this for my nephew for Christmas. He loves it very much. I know it is a remake of an older game, but I played the original and enjoyed it. I'm giving this 5 stars because he's been playing this exclusively on his Switch.
