Customer Ratings & Reviews

The game is visibly dated, but I’m having a good time with it. Graphic uptick is impressive, even considering that I never owned or played the original release. Sometimes the joy cons can be tedious to recalibrate during play through, but this issue can be looked over. Franchise fans have insisted on the necessity of this installment. Where gameplay lacks, story and supplement to the lore compensates.

The motion controls take a bit to get used to but it adds to the immersion. I can definitely see what Nintendo wanted in terms of making it feel like you really are Link, fighting enemies and traversing the land & sky. Honestly a phenomenal game!

Never was able to play on WII so enjoying the chance and so far so good.

It's a Zelda game, it's gonna have quality story and mechanics.. although this one has people split since it was originally made for the Wii motion controls. I caught on quick, looking forward to finishing this fun story.

Some might be wary of buying a remake, but if you have never played Skyward Sword, it is worth a play. A lot of the clunky aspects of the Wii version are gone to make a more polished version of what is probably my favorite story in a Zelda game.

Got this as a birthday gift for my younger brother, he loved the original but playing it isn't possible because of the state of our Wii. The psychopath sat down and beat the game in 12 hours, so I would say he likes the HD release just as much.

Much more smoother running and most of the buggy combat features are gone. The updates graphics are also a welcome treat on this overhaul.

...and on the Nintendo Switch no less! No need for motion controls either like the original! Great game for any LoZ fan and anyone who wanted to play it back then when it was on the Wii but didn't have the Wii Remote Plus.

Excellent game! I loved playing this game on the Wii, but it's one of my favorite games so I had to get it on the switch as well.

Excellent game...Glad this game finally got the much needed port over to Switch so I can finally play it using a controller and not be restricted to motion controls...Highly recommend to any fan of the Zelda series.

Fun game. We love to play this one. Pretty unique to the Zelda series and also feels pretty expansive, even after playing breath of the wild. Add this to your Zelda collection.

Not my favorite Zelda game, but I played the game on my Wii and the colors are bright, the visuals are crisp and the music is just as beautiful as I remember it being. Recommended to play as the other Zelda games.

This is a game that is meant for any Zelda fans. The controlling isn’t perfect but it’s still way better than the Nintendo Wii version. If you enjoy that version you will enjoy this version more.

I dislikes original of this game because I was not a fan of the motion control play. So when I heard it was being remade for switch I immediately placed my pre-order and have been playing it since I picked it up. Very happy it was remade.

I had the original SS on Wii and enjoyed it but this version is far superior. Even if you didn't care for the Wii version, this one fixes major flaws (like the dialogue repetition and constant NPC interruptions).

Really enjoyed this game. I originally got it on the Wii but couldn’t stand the motion controls and it became the only Zelda game I didn’t finish. Playing on the pro controller, this game was super fun and has amazing replay value.

Excellent game and smooth framerate but the motion controls are not as efficient as the original wii version, because back then it didn’t need constant resetting, motion centering was much better than today’s Joycons, but still I loved the game, hope there’ll be a Twilight Princess for the switch as well as wind waker and majora’s mask hd versions!! Take notes Nintendo!!!

Such a great game. Glad they rebooted this to the switch. I haven’t looked yet to see if button mapping can be adjusted. But I think that would be my only concern if it wasn’t possible. Not a big issue as the game is such a great reboot.

This game is incredible. My daughter had the original on the WII. She said this game blows that one out of the water. She also likes it better than Breath of the Wild. The game play is more in depth and more challenging. Great game.

Kind of the black sheep of Zelda games. This is the one modern Zelda that I didn’t finish back on the Wii. Glad they rereleased it and fixed a lot of the issues in the original. It really does have a great story and the characters play a way bigger part in this iteration. If you prefer the classic Zelda dungeon gameplay over Breath of the Wild definitely pick this one up.
