    This is a wonderful and immersive Zelda game up in the sky before Tears of The Kingdom! I do believe it worked better on the Wii though. With the Wiimote Plus and Nunchuk the game was really fun back in the day!

    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.

    This HD port the wii title is pretty good overall, the added button controls definitely fix what most people had issue with. It's still Skyward Sword at the end of the day with all its highs and lows intact.

    The game fixes a lot of the issues from the original. Players won't feel like they are being talked down to anymore. I definitely im excited to play this game on the switch

    I am so, so glad that Nintendo finally decided to remaster Skyward Sword! The controls go along naturally with the joycons, and seeing the storyline of Skyward Sword unfold again on my Switch simply brings me joy. Planning on lending this to my best friend so she can experience the game for herself for the first time!

    Glad to have another Zelda game to play on the Switch to tie us over for BOTW 2. Took me a little bit to get used to the controls, but once I got the hang of it, it made the game even more enjoyable. I haven't used the motion controls yet (cause i have drifting problems on my Joy-cons) as im using a Pro Controller.

    This is a great game. Many hours of gameplay packed into this one. Dungeons are well laid out and have enjoyable puzzles. My only gripe is the combat controls could be better when playing with the joycons connected but still totally usable. Another great Zelda game

    Like the game, cost too much for a game that's been out for years but that's typical from Nintendo

    This was one I missed back when it originally released on the Wii. You can definitely tell it's from that era as the graphics don't compare to the brilliance of what the Switch produces. Still, it's aged like fine wine. Another excellent game in the franchise -- even if the motion controls are crappy. Great pick up.

    It's not the best Zelda game ever made, but it's miles better than the original Wii version. I tried out the motion controls for about five minutes. I'm very glad they added button controls to this version. The game itself gets a bit repetitive, with really having only four total areas (including the sky) that you need to keep revisiting, but they did change those areas up just enough.

    It is great that Nintendo is offering some of these prior games in higher quality detail for the portable Switch. This is a game that I never had a chance to play when it came out for the Wii U, so now I have a chance to play it at my leisure. The updated graphics are great and so far the game is very enjoyable.

    For those who don't know, Skyward Sword is the tale of the very first Link and Zelda. In this HD remaster, you now have the option to play without motion controls. It's rumored this game's story will tie into Breath of the Wild 2, but regardless I recommend giving it a try.
