Fun game. It took me a little while to get used to the controls, as the Zelda game is very much focused on swordplay. But once I got the hang of it, I enjoyed it.

Great Wii game, brought back to life in HD Remaster

Great game overall! Very impressed with the graphics and gameplay.

Reworked controls are much better than on the Wii and the updated graphics are nice.

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.

Awesome re-release.Love the new controls and HD upgrades. A must for any Zelda Fan!

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

So great to have a non motion control version with better graphics. Great story

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.

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

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

I have been playing all formats of Zelda since I was 16 years old. That was in 1986. Since then, I have purchased every Zelda game that has been released, and in every format it has been released in. I cannot get enough.

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

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.
