Customers consistently note that the overall performance of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is awesome, and many appreciate the updated control scheme and gameplay. Some players enjoy the story and appreciate the game's portability and improved frame rate. However, a few find the gyro controls unnecessary and the game too difficult for younger players.

    I really love this game! I have been a Zelda fan from the very beginning. This game is fun. I played it on the Nintendo Wii U. Now it is good to to play it again on the Nintendo switch with better graphics. I recommend it 100%

    I never finished skyward sword on the wii because the motion controls arent as good. I am almost done with the game with motion controls now i plan on playing it with button only controls when my zelda and loftwing amiibo come in.

    One of the best Zelda games you'll ever play. Seriously, it left me wanting more. So when I was done with Skyward Sword, I started playing Link to the past on the snes virtual console. Get this game, its a masterpiece.

    Bought this for my kid with a new switch lite for his bday. He loves Zelda and can't wait for Breath of the Wild 2 to come out, in the meantime this will have to do. What I seen so far, it looks pretty incredible to play.

    it's a lot more linear compared to other zelda entries, but has a good story to help make up for it it gets fairly repetitive towards the end, but still good would probably not recommend it at full price though considering it's basically a wii game with basic QoL updates

    I know Nintendo loves to have remasters of their games and I don't blame them. Their games are already awesome to begin with. There's no harm when they come back and make the original game better for their current consoles.

    This is the version to get. I started to play the original before this remake was announced and didn’t quite enjoy it as much due to the controls. The polish and button controls have made Skyward Sword SO much better on Switch

    The button controls take a while to get used to, but every complaint I had with the Wii version has been addressed. Get this game if you missed out the first time around.

    This is an overlooked gem of a game. Oveooked because many disliked the Wii control scheme. This version is streamlined and is a fun Zelda adventure. If you like Zelda games, give this one a try.

    I played the original game on the Wii and loved it then. Porting this over to the Switch allowed me to play on a current gaming system. The graphics were improved, and nothing was taken away from the original.

    Even after you beat the game, there is always so much to do. Truly hundreds of hours of entertainment. The best of the Zelda series, right along with Majora's Mask and ocarina of time.

    Great game, controls can be a little wonky, but that has been my experience with pretty much all 3D Zelda games. The graphics have not been completely overhauled, but they have been sharpened to look good on a modern TV.

    A good enough remaster. Improved controls and a streamlines opening go a long way towards making the game more enjoyable this time around. The resolution increase makes the painting-like textures appear more like muddy splotches, so I wish more care went into visual improvements. Story is still amazing though and still an excellent Zelda experience.
