Customers are saying

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.

    Wow! I was really surprised how challenging this game would be. I thought is was a kids game. Controls took a bit to learn but adaptable. Plenty of hours of fun, challenging levels.

    Visually the game is great and the fully orchestrated soundtrack is a treat. However, game play is generally solid but can be marred by the motion controls. You'll get used to constantly resetting the gyro when using your accessories. It's definitely worth playing for the story and the excellent dungeon designs.

    Controls are still a little used to even if all buttons but it is enjoyable and fun. Couldn’t beat it the first time back in the day but now it’s a wonderful experience and good time.

    Nintendo plus Zelda. What more can anyone ask for. Each progression of the Zelda series let you enjoy similar but yet better flow of story and gaming experience.

    Such a great game. The switch has a huge library of games now. So much fun to play this in Handheld mode. Can't wait for BOTW 2 but this game is a great placeholder until it comes out.

    I love all of the Zelda games. I do not play this particular game with the motion sensors on as it can be very frustrating, but is a great game to play without motion.

    Great remake - love to bring some of my youth back to life. Controls work just as crappy on the Wii as on the switch, thus love the handheld mode instead of the regular hand motions.

    Controversial, but still worth playing

    Probably one of the more controversial mainline Zelda games, but still a fun one. If you never got a chance to play it on the Wii and you like the Zelda series, it's definitely worth trying. Worlds apart from Breath of the Wild, so don't go in expecting anything remotely similar.

    I’ve always loved the legend of Zelda series and this remaster really makes the game feel a lot better than the original and would greatly recommend it if you haven’t played it.

    The case is pretty to have on display and the game itself runs smoothly. It is an older port so don't expect top tier graphics (2011 to be specific) but a fun and grabbing story.
