Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Best of the best. It's Zelda after all. Not totally open world but close.

So far it’s okay. Now let me emphasize I HATE motion controls. With a passion so I was extremely judgmental of this game as I played the original and never finished it because I couldn’t stand the gameplay this one makes use of buttons and makes it much easier for me to enjoy without swinging my arms around. For someone who works with his arms all day the last thing I wanted was to use them to play Zelda. Now for the bad these button controls still kind of blow. They can’t really be edited to suit you you just have to deal with it and while I love the attempt this just isn’t the best Zelda has to offer IMHO

Great game. Enjoy the mechanics and choice between buttons and motion control.

it’s vintage Zelda remastered. I’ve played a few hours. Just like I remembered it. Starting off with a great adventure. Wish they would remake all the Zelda games for Switch

This was a divisive game when it came out for Wii due to some people loving the motion controls and others not so much. I happened to enjoy it back then very much with motion controls and continue to with this HD update. Frame rate is also improved. If you do not like motion controls you can turn them off as there is an option if you want to use the right stick for sword play.

Great remake. Amazing resolution and gameplay compared to the Wii version

Great game with a nice storyline. Highly recommend playing this game.

Fun and great port. Finally a switch game that runs at 60 fps.

Awesome game. Couldn’t stop playing. Highly recommended on Switch.

Live Zelda always. This game reminds me of twilight princess with links guide. Switch controls not as easy especially for diagonal sword swings but nice game!

This game is excellent! Love the gameplay and of course Zelda

I am so happy they made this HD remaster. The fact they fix a couple of quality of life bugs for example the cut scene every time you get a ruppee only happened once or skipping dialogue just to name a couple. I really like the option to not use motion controls although I wish they had gone with a more traditional way of doing so. Over all really happy with this version.

Smooth frame rate and improved motion controls. Since it's been about ten years since Skyword Sword's release on the Wii, it's a good addition to the Switch.

I have played Breath of the Wild, Majoras Mask, Ocarina of time, Twilight princess, and many more. This is by far my favorite Legend of Zelda game. Now this is all subjective but I think this game is the best legend of Zelda game out there. Also this remaster has some good quality of life changes and it is definitely worth the price tag. Highly Recommend.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD - Nintendo Switch Lite, Nintendo Switch game really impressed with graphics, challenges and got it for a relatively good comparable value money wise. Easy to order, purchase and then play.

Excellent port. The quality of life changes make a huge difference.

Great Zelda game! The improved frame rate looks amazing and plays nicely. The handheld controls can be a little awkward at first, but once you get used to it it's not that bad. I prefer to play with the joy-con controls to get the best gameplay. Fast travel is only enabled with amiibo which is another 15$ would be nice if this was just part of the game.

A pretty good remake as far as graphics and gameplay.

Didn’t get a chance to play original back in 2011 so I figured this was a good chance to jump in and experience it for the first time it’s a lot funnier than I expected a lot of puzzle solving and character interacting the controls are a little getting used to, but overall I’m having a fun time and there’s plenty of content here definitely worth the price.
