    Super Underrated Zelda Game! The best story of the series, one of the best series of dungeons of the franchise, the best characterization of Link and Zelda, a great villain, cool gameplay and an epic soundtrack!

    Its a cleaned up version of the Wii game. Its not a mind blowing graphics upgrade but everything is less blurry and is HD. The different controller configurations are a nice addition for those who never played the original version because they didnt want to play with motion controllers. Shouldve been a $39.99 game or bundled with another Zelda game.

    Over 10 years in the making and it felt like riding a bike hopping back on and exploring the skies. The remake is beautifully done and visually amazing and its portable so you never have to stop playing.

    One of the best Zelda games in the franchise, controls are superb in this game, now that you don’t have to use the Wii mote on the Wii to play it. Great looking game as well, awesome remaster!!

    A beautiful game on the switch even if it just a rerelease. Looks amazing, plays amazing, it is another classic Zelda game on the switch now. It is definitely worth playing this one.

    Played this on WII and really liked it and the Switch version is just as good. I play it with the Pro Controller. I play it using the Pro Controller as I found it’s easier than the Joy Cons.

    A great remake of another great game in an amazing series. So glad that it is playable on a regular controller, so if you don't want to use motion controls you don't have to. Graphics look amazing!

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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).
