    Lovely remaster of the original wii game. While some may shy away from the motion controls this game utilizes, but they are surprising well implemented and perfected from the original wii release.

    Exactly what I expected, a well done remake of a game that needed it. It's fun, beautiful and adds some new elements to the Zelda franchise that make it feel fresh if youve never played it before.

    This is one of the most overlooked Zelda games, as most people were turned off by the motion controls. The inclusion of being able to use a traditional controller made this a must have for me.

    Another Zelda remake to keep the Zelda fans satiated until the next BOTW2!! Skyward Sword gives another chance for fans to enjoy the game on an updated and more widely available platform

    Skyward Sword has always been one of my favorite Zelda games, but this remake is already my favorite. It's only been out for a week, but it's still so much fun, especially with the new controls.

    I really wanted to like this game but the controls are not ideal. Motion control is annoying and the alternate control feature still isn't perfect. Pros: Great story, and it is a Legend of Zelda game. Cons: I just can't get past the control features.

    I remember getting this game launch date on the wii without even knowing what it’s about and forgot about it. A few years later got this and now I’ll be able to play it in its entirety

    very cool game if you never got to play this game during the wii era it’s probably way better to play it on the switch now due to the lack of the nunchuck being connected to the other wii mote

    I missed out on playing Zelda Skyward Sword for the Nintendo Wii but was able to pick it up and start playing it on the Nintendo switch. So far so good I’m enjoying what I’ve played so far.

    If you're a Zelda fan, this is a great game. It's linear but enjoyable. Great puzzles to solve and great characters. The new controls work well too if you don't want to use motion controls.

    Great remaster, I played halfway through on WiiU and got bored given the gesture controls. Now that they aren't gesture I really like the game and was able to finish it

    Great game and my grandson loves it. It is a good quality game considering it is remastered from from the original for the Nintendo Switch. It has a good story line and decent mechanics.
