    Fun as before, much better graphics are a plus, and the joy cons control much better than the wii mote.

    I loved the original skyward sword for the wii when it released 10 years ago in 2011. Unfortunately the wii couldn't do true hd back then. But now I feel like this is how the game was always meant to be played. The graphics are crisp and so colorful now. And the gameplay has been tweaked and many of the puzzles have been reworked so that you don't have to use motion controls. This remaster is the definitive way to play this game.

    Good game, decent port but controls are clunky and camera angles can be frustrating and difficult to control. Of all the recent zelda games since the original wii, this one is my least favorite.

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

    Game looks and plays well with a pro controller considering it was designed for motion controls. Lots of filler content but the overall game is very fun and the dungeon designs are great.

    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.

    I bought this for my nephew for Christmas. He loves it very much. I know it is a remake of an older game, but I played the original and enjoyed it. I'm giving this 5 stars because he's been playing this exclusively on his Switch.

    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.

    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.

    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.
