    Makes the Previous Version Obsolete

    Skyward Sword is a unique take on the Zelda franchise. Where the series has been characterized by a vast open world to explore, Skyward Sword is far more straight-forward. The HD verison has cleaner textures and a slightly less chatty sword (those who know, you know). The motion controls feel more responsive on the joycons in comparison to how they felt on the Wii. The story is as immersive as the world is beautifully fantastical, with clever puzzles and even more challenging dungeons.

    This game is just as bad as it was on the WII. Feels like generic Zelda.

    A Great Zelda Game Remake For Switch

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I got a nice Zelda game for $50 I bought it the day it was released at the store. I don’t know how much it is now? This is a remake and high def edition of the Nintendo Wii systems. I have never played the original and only heard of the Switch remake one. The theme of the game is aerial, and sky. It’s mostly adventure and it’s puzzle too. I had hours playing it can be a lot of fun you can control Link’s aerial speed with the Joy Controller sticks. I bought the Amiibo separately you can do that to Travel Fast at locations in the map. Link has to beat every boss in each territory in the map until he beats the main final boss in the game. It’s not as open ended and extended the world map as the new games the Breath of the Wild game and Tears of Kingdom. You get upgrades and new weapons for beating monsters in the games

    definite improvement from the original, visually and game-play wise. I think this game actually portrays the watercolor style that the original game was trying to get across so much better.

    Game arrived in good condition, got it at a good price! I'm a very casual player with not much in the way of skills. I would not recommend playing with the pro controller as the controls are very complex to convert from the original console platform, playing with the joy cons is slightly more intuitive but needs constant calibration. The calibration is easy and can be done at any time, though, so it's not too painful though it can interrupt tense moments.

    So good! I have most of the Zelda games on Nintendo switch but I am a casual fan of Zelda. But this is really unique and easy to learn the controls. I am actually really getting into the story! Must buy game. Period.
