Customer Ratings & Reviews

The story in Skyward Sword is very interesting, so far. I confess I haven't even come close to finishing the game, but that's the beauty of the Zelda games. So much to do and see. And the visuals are so good that I'm thinking of buying a HD monitor to better enjoy them.

I couldn’t get through this on Wii, but it’s made much better on Switch. It’s nice having a classic Zelda with the groundbreaking BOTW on switch now. Definitely recommend looking up the differences/updates to see if it makes a difference for you!

Loved this game since it came out for the Wii and this remaster is very worthy and made the playing experience even more smooth. A beautiful game with a wonderful story, great dungeons, and an amazing soundtrack. A must-have for any Zelda fan!

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 have a really good experience playing this game, I recommend it 100%

Played this game back in 2011 when it came out and remembered enjoying it very much. Saw that it had a HD version for the switch and just had to get it! Very good game for any Zelda fan!

Bought this for the switch since I never completed the original game for the Wii system. I couldn’t get over the tedious motion controls. The switch version vastly improves the button controls and the visuals look great. So much more enjoyable this time around.

First and foremost, this is an excellent game! Great story and gameplay. The motion controls are cool but be prepared to constantly recalibrate ( pointing and pressing y). This will definately satisfy your Zelda fix while waiting for BotW 2. Is it worth 60? Yes.

An old classic remade for the modern day. If you passed up on this game 11 years ago, try it now. The revamped control system may be initially clunky, but it is intuitive. The game design is some of Nintendo's best work, and the story will keep you captivated.

So much better than I expected. Really fun art style, memorable characters, and great dialogue. The controls take some getting used to but theyre not as bad as everyone makes them out to be. A really great Zelda game, might be my new favorite behind BOTW.

With a physical disability, I can't use the motion controls. I was a little worried about the analog controls, too, as I read they weren't implemented very well. They take some getting used to, but they work fairly well. Release OoT on Switch already, Nintendo!

While this remains one of the lesser titles in the entire Zelda franchise, that bar is still incredibly high and with the tweaks and adjustments this release made, the game’s better than ever. Music is top-notch, and the story os simply lovely…

A very nice enhanced port of the Wii game. Graphics are very good. The quality of life changes are very nice. Using the pro controller vs. the motion control scheme of the original takes a little getting used to, so using the joycons are recommended.

Glad I finally got the chance to enjoy this game. Missed it originally on the Wii. But that doesn't change the feel due to the system, slight nostalgia brings me back to those days of motion controls. My only real complaint is how often I need to sync where the gyroscopes are to get the best use of the pointer, but that seems to be a limit on the technology as Super Mario Galaxy on the Switch had the same issue.

Nintendo took their time with this game and you can tell. From the graphics, to the combat system, and even the world building. It's all phenomenal. If you own a Nintendo Switch and don't have this game, you've lost the plot

My brother spent a whole week day and night in his room playing this game so hey he loved his birthday present

Got this on DOTD $30 plus tax. Great price. Game was a little slow at first but the temples are real good. I never played the original. The sword play is a little weird with the right joystick at first but you get used to it.

If you haven't played the wii original than this is the perfect opportunity to play. Better graphics and resolution for a modern era.

I've been eyeing this game when it first launched but wasnt sure on purchasing it since I never played the original version. But when it went on sale, I couldnt resist and purchased it. Worth every penny. What an awesome game!

It’s a Zelda game and a decent one at that. Never played the original but Nintendo made some nice improvements in gameplay on this updated version. My only issue is the price. $60 for a remake of a game is too much. At that price it would’ve been nice to have been a bundle of 2 of the old zelda games updated for the switch. If you don’t have this game for GC or Wii then I’d recommend giving the SS a try.
