    Good game, horrible controls

    This is a funny game hindered by bad controls. While many will argue, rightfully so, that motion controls were bad and the button is much better. Much better is a relative term. The controls are still horrible. Right stick has to be flicked, which will cause drift, to attack. The same stick is used for the camera but you have to hold 'L' as well. So you can't move the camera freely while attacking.

    If you’re used to or expecting Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom… this isn’t it. But it’s still got plenty of Zelda charm. More juvenile in game play, controls are a bit tricky, and a LOT of cut scenes. If you love the Zelda franchise, I’d still get it, but just make sure you watch some gameplay videos ahead of time to know what to expect.

    The button controls take awhile to get used to since they were initially intended for motion controls only.

    Pretty good Zelda game

    Skyward Sword on Switch is pretty a good game, just above average I would say for a 2021 release. Story is typical Zelda, it suffices but it's not going to blow your mind. Gameplay is solid, though I did find the controls a bit frustrating and just weird at times. You will battle the camera a bit. Visually it certainly looks dated. Another HD title Nintendo put next to no effort into enhancing the graphics. If you already played it on Wii, I don't see any reason to buy it again on Switch. If you have not played it and are a Zelda fan, it's worth picking up on Switch.
