    I'm not a "Die-Hard" gamer, so take with a grain of salt; Nintendo's Zelda line is always fun if not for the playability, then for the storyline. Can't go wrong.

    Such a fun game. I never played it back on the wii. I am still playing through the game, have about 40 hours of playtime and still haven't beaten it. Definitely worth buying!

    Under rated and over looked zelda title. Wii motion translation passable. I enjoyed the story and locations. Art style holds up visually.

    Great and beautiful recreation of the original version of Skyward Sword. Takes a second to adjust to the controls on switch, but honestly super fun and great to revisit!

    Great game, you get to know the history of the sword and the characters. It's kind of an open world, not as big as Breath of the Wild but entertaining enough.

    While not as good as BotW, this is an awesome installment in the Legend of Zelda series. If you missed out on it the first time it was released don't miss it this time

    Zelda - My kids and I have been a long time fan of this incredible series. Nintendo knows how to mix story telling and adventure in a video game. Great job!

    Nice smooth game play on a first generation switch. Graphics hold up well when the Switch is connected to a 65" TV

    Great port to the switch. The game improves the joy con controls and is more responsive to the swings for the sword. Also looks better and great game to pass time.

    Over all the game played like the wii game. It took a little time to get used to the gyro controls. they do not seem to be as responsive as the Blue tooth controls. HD quality could have been a bit better, I expected much better cut scenes. Fun to play, but no different from the original.

    I like this game but the controls bother me. For instance when you want to look around you have to hold the top button at the same time moving left control stick.

    Without the necessity of motion controls to play the game and fly your Loftwing, it makes this game play a lot smoother and become more enjoyable than its predecessor!!!

    I am about 10 hours into the game and so far it’s highly enjoyable. I never played the original but this feels great. I understand the annoyance over the high price, but you must understand that it’s still a great game. If you’ve never played the game before, I can definitely recommend.
