Customer Ratings & Reviews

many people did not like the game when it first came out. but with the HD release on the switch it nullifies a lot of arguments that people had for the original release. i do highly recommend getting this game if you are/were a fan of the zelda series

A modern classic remade once more! All irony aside, visiting the skies above and the great fields below will be a trip through nostalgia you won't be able to put down as you hack and slash through one of Link's earliest adventures in Hyrule and beyond!

I really enjoy this game from its art style to its story and level design. I think that the updates made help to improve this over the Wii version. If you haven't played this before I'd recommend it, and if you have I'd say it is worth your time again.

the kids and grandkids were all involved playing this game, trying to help out with directions and actions. they played it for hours and days

I found the game to be fun. The controls take a bit of getting used to but it works ok.

I've played multiple The Legend of Zelda games and the majority of them have been breath taking and so much fun that I've replayed them multiple times. This game is in the middle in my opinion, it has good animation and storyline but just having to go back and forth to the sky and ground gets tiring and something irritating if you're trying to relax.

If you’re a fan of Zelda you need it own this game. It was originally designed to be used with the Wii Mote but the controls were re-designed to work with the controls available to the Switch. I think they did pretty well all things considered.

First time playing this game. It took a while to get used to the controls. Best way to play in my opinion is using the joycons instead of a gamepad. You have to use the right joystick when using the gamepad for attacks. With the joycons, you swing it instead. When panning the camera, you have to hold the L button or keep pressing LZ to center the camera. Other than that, it's been fun!

Such a great game, I know before many didn't play it back on the Wii cause of controls but the switch version brought in new ways to play that you gotta give it a second chance

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

Its a good story but the controls are kinda rough. Great Zelda game with ok graphics.

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.

I got this game because I loved BOTW and wanted to explore some more Zelda games while waiting for BOTW2. Although I haven’t spent nearly as much time playing this, it’s still a really great game! It has helped to hold me over in the mean time. I’ve only used the regular mode though so I can’t comment on the motion controls which allow you to swing your sword.

I love all the Zelda games and this one is no different!!! This game is very straight forward but I do recommend if you want to do the side quests using a guide.

The game is visibly dated, but I’m having a good time with it. Graphic uptick is impressive, even considering that I never owned or played the original release. Sometimes the joy cons can be tedious to recalibrate during play through, but this issue can be looked over. Franchise fans have insisted on the necessity of this installment. Where gameplay lacks, story and supplement to the lore compensates.

When this was announced for the switch I knew I had to get it. I had this back on the Wii and it really is my favorite Zelda game. Don’t listen to the naysayers. This installment is FANTASTIC. And the art direction is especially refreshing!

The motion controls take a bit to get used to but it adds to the immersion. I can definitely see what Nintendo wanted in terms of making it feel like you really are Link, fighting enemies and traversing the land & sky. Honestly a phenomenal game!

haven't beaten not a fan of the controls and camera but otherwise fun.

Some might be wary of buying a remake, but if you have never played Skyward Sword, it is worth a play. A lot of the clunky aspects of the Wii version are gone to make a more polished version of what is probably my favorite story in a Zelda game.

Been wanting to play this for awhile. It's nice to get a "back story" canonically, if you get my meaning. Order came in on time and in just as a good condition as picking up from the store. Thank you!
