Customers are saying

Customers consistently note that the overall performance of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is awesome, and many appreciate the updated control scheme and gameplay. Some players enjoy the story and appreciate the game's portability and improved frame rate. However, a few find the gyro controls unnecessary and the game too difficult for younger players.

    Fun “open” world Zelda game. Controls are okay, but the gameplay is fine. Overall a nice enhancement over the original release on the Wii.

    I never got a chance to play the original, so I'm really happy to get the HD version! I've been really enjoying this game - I can definitely see its influence on BOTW. The motion controls are NOT my favorite but I'm still having a lot of fun.

    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 never got the chance to play this on the original console because my husband squirreled it away before I could get to it. From what I'm hearing I missed out on overexposure to Fi. This is a fun game and I'm enjoying playing it on my Switch lite. I don't have the amiibo yet, but still using the save statue to go back home still works.

    The Zelda series has been a favorite of mine since I was young. I did not play this game when it was on the Wii, so I was excited to play a Zelda game that was new to me. I did enjoy the game overall, but I found the motion controls frustrating because of the constant need to reset the gyro. I also tried the button controls with the pro controller but I found that even more difficult to get used to. I did complete the game and while it's not my favorite Zelda game, I'm glad I played it.

    Not sure where to begin with how excellent this game is. It's the most fun I've had playing video games in years. Unlike BOTW, this game has a more linear progression but still has lots of side quests to keep things interesting.

    I loved that I was able to do an online pick up within a few hours and that it was ready early! The game itself is fantastic - as someone who lived BOTW this is a great game to play after while waiting for BOTW2. It's visually beautiful and the option to roam around in world and take the advent oat your own pace is wonderful.

    I can understand why Skyward Sword was not liked back when it came out on the Wii but playing it now on Switch feels like a completely different experience. Great game that any fan should play through.

    An excellent game all around, even if it does have its flaws. The mechanics can be tiring at times and annoying if you aren't prepared for them. The motion controls have improved slightly, but I prefered played with the pro controller. If you missed this the first time around then I highly recommend picking this one up.

    I’ve always wanted to play Skyward Sword but never had a chance until now with switch remastered, and I must I am amazed and love the great game. The only issue is the motion control, it is very difficult to play which is why the game is very easy because it is hard due to the control gameplay, but other than that the story and art is absolutely stunning, your just going to run some difficulty with control so keep in mind.
