    Awesome game so far, a little finicky on the motion controls but that’s probably my fault since I’m not used to them.

    Takes me back to old Zelda games on the 64. Great story I love how it they wrap it up. My only gripe is the graphics are not much of an improvement from the last port. Also the controls take some time getting used to.

    Decent take on remaking Skyward Sword. Some more polish would have been nice but overall the experience and controls are good and reminiscent of the Wii game that I remember from my childhood

    I bought this game for my kids for Christmas but to be honest, i like it the most. A little different then what i was used to with the previous Zelda Breath of the Wild but i like the different style.

    Nintendo did a great job of improving the controls of this game to make it a bit more intuitive and easier to reset.

    There are still problems with Skyward Sword. I personally prefer playing with the controller than with motion controls, but it’s not totally fixed. Still not the strongest entry in the series, but worth playing, imo

    I really enjoy the swordplay with the switch controller. It’s a nice change from most switch games.

    A very remarkable Zelda game that looks and plays great on the Switch. I thought some of the design choices were questionable near the end, but it nevertheless retains the special qualities I have for the series.

    Great game, motion controls on the switch are sub part at best. It is good to be able to switch to controller. But when you do, you cannot control the camera movement. Other then that I'm having a lot of fun with it.
