    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.

    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!

    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.

    Great game. Just finished it and I have almost 40 hours on it. I didn’t play it on wii so this game is new to me. Can’t believe I skipped out on it the first time

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Zelda Skyward Sword HD remake is well worth the purchase. It’s nice to see classic hits get the HD treatment and this is one you need to add to your collection.

    Originally thought the game was going to be just a copy and paste of the Wii version, but it actually was a great game and differences to make it worth the $60.

    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.

    It’s every bit the game I remembered - the good and the bad. It was one of my favorite Zelda games back in the day and it was fun reliving it again. Highly recommend, but know that it is challenging with the controls. They’re still just as counterintuitive as you remember.

    Very happy to be able to play this. The change from WII controls to the Switch took some getting use to but the game makes uo for any potential shortcomings.

    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.
