    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.

    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!

    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.

    It's a Zelda game, it's gonna have quality story and mechanics.. although this one has people split since it was originally made for the Wii motion controls. I caught on quick, looking forward to finishing this fun story.

    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.

    ...and on the Nintendo Switch no less! No need for motion controls either like the original! Great game for any LoZ fan and anyone who wanted to play it back then when it was on the Wii but didn't have the Wii Remote Plus.

    Got this as a birthday gift for my younger brother, he loved the original but playing it isn't possible because of the state of our Wii. The psychopath sat down and beat the game in 12 hours, so I would say he likes the HD release just as much.

    Excellent game...Glad this game finally got the much needed port over to Switch so I can finally play it using a controller and not be restricted to motion controls...Highly recommend to any fan of the Zelda series.

    Fun game. We love to play this one. Pretty unique to the Zelda series and also feels pretty expansive, even after playing breath of the wild. Add this to your Zelda collection.

    This is a game that is meant for any Zelda fans. The controlling isn’t perfect but it’s still way better than the Nintendo Wii version. If you enjoy that version you will enjoy this version more.

    Not my favorite Zelda game, but I played the game on my Wii and the colors are bright, the visuals are crisp and the music is just as beautiful as I remember it being. Recommended to play as the other Zelda games.

    I had the original SS on Wii and enjoyed it but this version is far superior. Even if you didn't care for the Wii version, this one fixes major flaws (like the dialogue repetition and constant NPC interruptions).
