Customers are saying

Customers consistently note that the overall performance of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is awesome, and many appreciate the updated control scheme and gameplay. Some players enjoy the story and appreciate the game's portability and improved frame rate. However, a few find the gyro controls unnecessary and the game too difficult for younger players.

    It is wonderful to have one of Zelda’s finest on the Switch! Every Zelda game is great and this is no exception. Highly Recommended!

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

    Different than the normal zelda games, I think it’s adapted from the DS or Wii.

    This game is just not good. The controls have a very bad learni6curve since they are brought over from the days of the Wii. The HD conversion looks good and there's some quality of life improvements, but overall the worst 3D Zelda to date.
