    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.

    Great game. Lost of battling and puzzle solving. You can also get hints if you get stuck. Lots of fun.

    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.

    One of the best Zelda stories. Highly recommend. Don’t let the motion controls throw you away from it.

    The motion controls work okay on the switch. The camera is very wonky (needing to hold R) I consider myself a fair weather Zelda player and this game feels like a the rest in terms of game.

    A great game but it’s sucks that it launched at $60 while the original wii game launched at $50 and came with a cool controller.
