Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have the Wii Version of this game and you can clearly see the difference. If you are a Zelda fan like myself, then this needs to be added to your collection. Pretty fun to play with the Joy Cons.

First time playing this game. Plays great! Motion controls are simple enough to not be annoying. Still need to finish it but I love it’s charm that’s expected with Zelda games. Great game

This remaster is nice—the adjusted motion controls, the ability to choose when you want Fi popping in and out, etc. The graphics look great. It's so nice to see so many people enjoying the game!

Absolutely amazing, now, everyone knows that, what needs to be reviewed are the controllers. You have both the option of motion controls and just regular controls, however, the regular controls are different to what you know. The right joystick is what you use for your sword, not buttons. This is weird and awkward at first, but not terrible. You get used to it after a while. I did not even try motion controls, I hate using that. That is the very reason I never finished this game, I got too frustrated with it. Anyway, the option of using regular controls make it bearable and can't wait to keep playing the game and finally able to play Skyward sword without motion controls!

One of the best Zelda games that they've ever made.

This video game is the most exciting game I have ever played. It's challenging and rewarding.

THIS IS A SPECTACULAR GAME I LOVE IT!!! The game is so fun to play and I enjoy the new button controls which were not in the original game back in the Wii so this was awesome to experience!!!!

Amazing hd quality graphics accompanying a revamped control scheme that made the original unplayable. The joycons allow for ease of use for controls (still takes a but to get used to them).

An excellent game! The new button controls are fluid and intuitive. A faithful recreation of the original, and being able to take it on the go, or even just in bed, is a wonderful addition!

Absolutely love it! The graphics and the gameplay are so much better now. I am enjoying it a lot more than the Wii version. Definitely worth the wait. The Amiibo feature is very useful too.

The game is fun to play, but the camera angles are kind of annoying since it constantly needs to be adjusted. Overall the game isn't that bad. Keep in mind this is an older Wii game that was remastered. I prefer Breath of the Wild or Age of Collammity since the controls are easier to use, plus more action.

The graphics update/playing on the switch OLED, and the ability to play joystick only makes this much better than the original. I would recommend this game to someone.

Definitely an upgrade from the Wii version. We absolutely hated the motion controls, and since those were optional, we could actually enjoy the gameplay and story this time.

Let me just say I have never played this game until now and I love the music I love the HD graphics story and gameplay and using the controller is good but takes time to get used to.

Played originally on the Wii, loved it then and this remaster is still awesome! Graphics look great on the Switch OLED and a great game to use the motion controls.

One of my favorite games in the Zelda franchise, made even better at 60fps/1080p with simple input controls when you don’t feel like wrist-flicking through the 50+ hour campaign.

Got this because I love how the original game was . The way you play is much better and the graphics are better than before . Nintendo does a great port of the original game .

I have a few complaints but all-n-all its a good game. A little too linear in the story more than other past Legend of Zelda games. I previously played it for Wii but I didn't complete it so that was why I was eager to get it again. It's more of a prequel to the series. I liked that the game allows handheld, pro controller or joy-con play (Joy-Con Prefered). The sandbox world design is amazing as the skyloft and ground levels all have secrets to be discovered. Although the dungeons are linear the puzzles are not too hard to solve. I took my time and completed the game in 30hrs but it can be finished in 20 if you only follow the main story. My biggest grip was the price drop after launch. I paid $60 for preorder and a week after it hit shelves it was $50. Other problems include the constant re-calibration which happens every few minutes but it simple button press to fix it. Some motions are hard to perform with the joy-cons. Revisiting locations multiple times to further progress each area got annoying by the late game.

I bought this as a gift, the recipient loved it! They said the controls were much better than the Wii version

[Employee of bestbuy] Love everything Legend of Zelda. My collector and neurotic soul screamed when I was going through my games and realized my Skyward Sword was a pegi game! Bought this one so all had the ESRB rating on them. Lovely game. Definitely more classic Zelda (given that its a port not a huge surprise), in particular with the color scheme.
