    Made for Nintendo Wii and should've stayed there.

    If you do not want to play with motion controls you should avoid this. If your kid has a Switch Light, this game will be a nightmare to control, even on the regular switch it is just not well thought out. Adding the option to remap all the buttons would save it, but that is as of now just not possible.

    Skyward Sword might be the worst Zelda game. The motion control scheme still ruins the game even if you try to play it without motion controls. Wish they'd have released the Wind Waker and Twilight Princess remake/remasters from Wii U instead. My kids didn't even finish this game and they were really excited for it.

    This game is fun because it uses the motion sensor in the Joy Con, and it is also very challenging for me.

    while this provided some good gaming opportunities - cant wait for the "new" version of Zelda to come out later this year.

    A slight improvement over the off-putting controls of the orginal, although Visuals leave something to be desired.

    First time playing skyward sword. My first Zelda game was Breath of the Wild, so my expectations were pretty high.

    My 9 y/o is really enjoying the game. He is a huge Legend of Zelda fan. Pickup was disappointing. They didn't have the special decals even though we arrived at store opening to pick up our game. It was the whole reason I ordered at best buy. Game launch was underwhelming as they also had none of the other Skyward sword products in stock. I doubt I will be able to find the amiibo now.

    Skyward sword is a bit awkward, but it’s a must play for fans of the series.
