    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I played this game back on the Wii when it first came out. It wasn't my favorite in the series due to some pacing issues, and holding, and the controls. The Switch corrected a few of the issues and made the experience more fun this time around. While it features more traditional controls if you don't like motion controls, the motion controls with the Joy Cons seem much better this time around and are easily adjusted, unlike the Wii. Would recommend checking out if you like adventure games or Zelda games.

    I can still remember playing Skyward Sword when it originally came out, despite the wii-mote plus (think that's what it was called) the controls for the game still felt a little off. Sadly despite having multiple control options that still happens to be the case with this version. The motion controls still have some of the same issues as the original version, frequent need to recenter the controls, and the pro controller options feel a little odd/off. Still it is a solid game, it just feels like they didn't put as much effort into the remake as they could have.

    Y’all, this game has literally shifted my entire outlook on Skyward Sword. What was one of my top least favorite Zelda games before (and the only one I never finished) has now become one of my favorites. Not being forced to do motion controls to play this game have made all that difference along with much better graphics and 60 FPS. Great entry for the

    Loved the original Wii release from a decade ago but now its better than ever! Its the perfect time to play through this underappreciated gem if you missed it the first time. Improved visuals, QOL improvements and new control options make this the best version of a very enjoyable game.

    Bought this as a gift for my best friends very belated birthday. We tried it out at my house, and it is absolutely gorgeous. The game maintains the originals charm while still displaying the power of the switch with incredible graphics and color. Considering on getting a copy for myself to play through, and greatly recommend the game to any Zelda fan!
