    I tried playing this originally on the Wii and gave up due to the frustration of the Wiimote+ motion controls. (There were constant recalibrations needed so I wasn't always pulling left) and the Switch version seems to fix a lot of the problems that Skyward Sword had. The controller controls and the joycon controls are both responsive, although moving the camera with a pro controller is a bit awkward.

    Great port but, the combat as before isn't that great. The story is very cool thought and it runs great on the Switch.

    The game is just a piece of art. Chef's kiss. I love the fact that the story provides a lot insight in regards to the zelda lore. In my opnion the game is a piece ofawesomeness. A must have for a nintendo switch collection.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Yet another classic from the Zelda franchise (if you don't hate motion controls), brings back great memories of the Wii era, and I'm glad we have a uniquely motion controlled adventure with Link

    Excellent title for any rpg fan, especially fangs of other Zelda games. It’s a bit difficult to get used to the controls being swapped from the Wii version but after that it’s great.

    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.

    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.
