    Don't play after BOTW.

    I played Zelda - Breath of the Wild as my very first Nintendo Switch game. That was amazing with great graphics, intuitive movements and battles. The online reviews of Zenda - Skyward Sword were very good. I decided to jump in and buy this one too. It's just not the same as my original. The movements, graphics and abilities seem very rudimentary compared to my original. (I know this one was proceeded BOTW but supposedly reworked). Those people who've played and gotten further along in the game than I have seem to enjoy it. I hope to get there too, but for now I think It's OK and I would have been happier playing BOTW another time vs. buying this one I think.

    Fun game! Never got it when it came out years ago but played it with a friend who got it for the Wii but unfortunately never finished the game. I think my only complaint is the flying is a bit harder to control with the joycons than it was with the Wii remote/nunchuck. You can argue with Nintendo’s pricing but that aside if you haven’t played it, never finished or just a fan of the game, it’s worth getting to me!

    My daughter is infatuated with this game. Give it to her three days ago and she’s already halfway through. Zelda did not disappoint.

    Didn’t play the Wii version but this version is good. It’s a challenge to use the right stick for sword swinging but over all good.

    The HD remake of this game is great. Love that they added button controls and still give the option to play with morion controls.

    Overall good game for first timers. For gamers who have already played this on Wii, hard to justify the cost unless you are a fan.

    Skyward Sword is a great time, but it is definitely not without its flaws. Great dungeons and storytelling, but far too much padding and unnecessary moments plague the adventure.

    Awesome Zelda game I never got to play on the Wii. Motion controls are fun , but I think I prefer using the pro controller still.
