    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

    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.

    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

    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.
