    Perfect Port of a forgotten gem

    This is a perfect port of a oft-forgotten Zelda game. It makes it even better that motion controls are optional so you can play this with a pro controller.

    Just started playing this new addition to Zelda and it looks really great. Even better graphics and more exciting action might make this one one of my favorite games.

    Loved this game back in the day and it is great to see it ported to Switch in HD. I like the new control scheme and it is great pick up and play also. Love it!

    Fun game that I didn't have the opportunity to play in the past.. It's neat that there are two ways to control. Button Controls or Motion. Both have pros and cons.

    Great game - nice port to the switch. Probably shouldn’t have been as expensive as it was since it’s an old game but I digress.

    My teenage son bought this game. He says he really enjoys it. He was also very happy that he was able to get it so quickly with the buy online and curbside pick up.

    The new button controls work great as an alternative for people who hate motion controls. I never had a single problem with them being inaccurate or unresponsive.

    A very nostalgic experience. I really did enjoy playing this game more on the switch than on the wii. Also, the graphics improvement is very noticeable.

    If you liked Skyward Sword, this is a better version of it. I wasn't a fan of the original game, but this one is pretty good now that I know what to expect.

    Even though the Wii version had a shaky reputation, the story holds up well and holds potential interesting consequences for the upcoming Breath of the Wild 2.

    5/5 for best buy's services. Although there was a tiny dent on the case. 4/5 for the game itself. It's a classic 3D Zelda game and has very unique ideas. But it also has sooo many annoying elements like NPCs that constantly interrupt you, bad camera controls, unnecessary flying mechanics, constant treasure chest opening animations for common loot, bosses with little to no strategy, and an unnecessary gather/craft system. That's not to say it's all bad, the game has unique art style and unique combat mechanics. It's sound design is incredible and has many of the great things classic 3D Zelda games have, but I'd recommend only when it's on sale for <$30.

    Disappointing Zelda game

    I started trying the game and within the first 2 hours I knew I wasn’t gonna want to keep playing. I’m so happy with the changes they’ve made to the series with BotW. The controls for Skyward was very distracting. Way too much to learn for little results. I just wasnt having fun. The controls were a pain. The music quality was this disappointing too. Very digital sounding. Its a shame too because it looked like it has a good story but it just wasnt fun.

    One of my favorite games, I bought is originally on Wii, but now it has regular controls so you don't have to use motion control, some don't like the way the camera has to be toggle but you can just use targeting to change the direction that link is facing.

    Controls are frustrating

    The storyline is always good in Zelda, but the controls on skyward sword drove me crazy. The remote continuously has to be recalibrated, no matter which controller I used. I still recommend it for a play through once, but it’s a one and done for me.
