Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great game, controls are still slightly strange, but a great improvement from the original game.

Good quality of life updates. For full price though I would have liked more additions to the original game

Supper good game very much fun to play. Has clean graphics, good soundtrack. Highly recommend to purchase.

I like this game, but takes too much time to follow the story. if you have time this is a great game.

A good solid game. Major complaint is agaisnt nintendo who charges full price for a old old game. But thats nintendo.

Great remake. Included some decals with my purchase and got it for 40 bucks. Can't go wrong with this one.

This is a very good remastered version for the switch. Love the graphics and the ability to use the pro controller.

This game is far better with button controls, as I was never the biggest fan of motion. Not perfect but good.

Never played this on wii but now that’s it’s on switch I gave it a chance and honestly it’s a great gem. And should be part of any fan of Zelda it has great music and bosses and it’s a call back to the old classics nothing like botw which is honestly so bland

Love the remastered version! Graphics help make it look more like an old game while still having the original feel!

Wonderful to experience everything in updated graphics enhancements… A negative is the awkward camera controls.

This game is one of my favorites, I like it better in the switch than in the play station 2

I have played most Zelda games, but having never had a Wii, this one was skipped by. I was excited that I would finally get to experience this one. The idea of the motion controls was a big interest. Having had good experiences with motion games on the Switch, this seemed like it would be great. Having finally played it... I feel like I'm playing a different game than everyone else here. The controls are buggy and trying to play it without motion controls is nearly impossible. The story seems like it could be fun, but it's bogged down by pointless cut scenes. (There's a scene early on where the headmaster tells you to go talk to someone, and Zelda then adds that the headmaster could talk to them instead, so the headmaster agrees and says they will talk to the person. There's no point to this entire, unskippable exchange.) I've made it to the second temple, I know there's a lot more left but the buggy controls, constantly resetting the gyro, and the impossible camera control outside of using motion controls are making this a real slog.

Frustrating game with a good story. Everything from the mechanics to the puzzles are frustrating in this game and no, not because they're challenging. Unless you were a big fan of the original release and want to relive it now in HD I'd skip this Zelda entry. Especially for 60 bucks... You'll have a better time replaying Breath of the Wild for the 2nd or 3rd time.

For the first time since I’ve payed Zelda I’ve been killed by a bat. Terrible controls and frustrating gaming experience. Two stars for the graphics and the story. Seems like it would be a great game but not interested in working around this mess. I play to escape from everyday problems not to be frustrated.

I’m a huge Zelda fan, though I never played skyward sword upon its original release for various reasons. That being said I was excited to finally get to play this one. Man was this game a let down. In my mind I was ready to have such a fun time and to finally get to see what it was all about, but this has got to be at the bottom of my list of Zelda games. It was fine, I finished it, but it lacked the creativity and finesse that makes a typical Zelda game great. There was a lot of slog in this game, just slow pacing that left me feeling bored more often than not. Sad to review a Zelda this way, but it doesn’t compare to some of the other titles such as Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and of course Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. If you never played this one back in the day like me, I’d say go ahead and pass. You’re not missing much.

Great Zelda game! Having lots of fun, I was expecting some graphic improvements, this is the same game from 2011.

Solid Zelda game. A little tough to get used to the controls/camera movements but once you do it is a fun game.

Never played this on Wii because of motion controls. Being able to play with a controller made me buy this game.

Controls are still a bit weird, but happy to finally get to play a release in the series I hadn’t played before.
