Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Love this game. Met All My expectations. Must buy.

I missed out on this one when it was originally released on the Wii. The graphics have been updated but don't really compare to breath of the wild. The graphics aren't bad, just a little sub par. I originally started the game with the pro controller but quickly swapped to the joy cons. I really appreciate the the incorporation of motion controls and find the game to play better with the joycons. The game content is great. My son and I have really enjoyed the game.

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.

So far I am enjoying it. The motion controls can be a little finicky sometimes, but that’s just kinda how motion controls are, and they aren’t terrible. As far as what I have played so far it is definitely not my favorite Legend of Zelda game, but is still enjoyable and I am looking forward to playing more. The motion controls are not always great, but I do love the action that comes with it as I have not played a game like this in a while.

This game is pretty cool. It's like ocarina of time. It's more linear then breath of the wild but it is more like a classic Zelda game. I like how you can use the controller so you don't have to use motion controls if you don't want to. I have about 30 hours in so far and loving it. Would recommend.

Skyward Sword HD! What else can you say! Now I have both SS for Wii and Switch. I can say the Joy-Con is WAY better than the Wii and it is really clean looking also! This is a great game to pick up and play! The handheld play is also intriguing and fun! Again any Zelda fans will need to get this!

Excellent product and service! Timely delivery also.

While not the best Zelda game and far from the likes of BOTW and others in the series, it’s still pretty solid. Many areas can feel a bit uncreative for Zelda and the controls can be pretty frustrating many times. However, the story is so monumental for series that I had to play. And on discount, this is a great pickup

Hated the Wii port for this time so I tried the switch version. It is much more fun than the Wii version.

I never played the original game but I’m really enjoying this game as a first time player. The motion controls are pretty good they seem to respond best when I have have the switch in table top mode. Even in docked mode it does good but in my experience it’s been better on table top.

I bought this game for my husband. He's a Zelda nerd from way back on NES :-) He loves it! We both play it. He's already beat it twice and now playing hero mode. If you're thinking about it, do it! Awesome game and storyline. It's definitely addicting once you start.

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.

Enhances a few things from the original. The amiibo is super useful. The motion controls are still difficult to get used to but the option for playing without them is a great addition

I was pleasantly surprised. I had heard so many bad things about the game but I think it’s great. I prefer solving puzzles over fighting bosses and this game has a good balance. It’s going back to traditional Zelda that we lost with botw. If you love Zelda, this game is a must have

Playing this on the Switch has made the game much more enjoyable for me. Sure, it's a little quirky in some spots, but it's mostly better without the Wiimotes (for me, anyways). Other than that, it plays pretty similarly to the Wii version, albeit with slightly improved graphics.

So far having a fun time playing this game. It was a bit hard to get used to the button controls at first but gradually gets better the more and more you play. I definitely think everyone should try to add this to their collection of play and experience a new story in the franchise.

I love the Legend of Zelda series hope they come out with The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess.

Great game with awkward controls. I ended up playing as if it were Ocarina of time. I skipped the right stick secondary function to move the camera and instead used L2 to refocus the camera angle. Even with the awkward controls, this is a huge step up from the Wii original controls.

4.5/5, 0.5 of because both button and motion control is not good enough. The other parts of the game, the story, the gameplay,the map,and the music are all amazing! Buying from BestBuy can also earn some ticker which is beautiful to decal both phones and switch console.
