Customers are saying

Customers consistently note that the overall performance of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is awesome, and many appreciate the updated control scheme and gameplay. Some players enjoy the story and appreciate the game's portability and improved frame rate. However, a few find the gyro controls unnecessary and the game too difficult for younger players.

    Not fun, but necessary for the storyline

    The rating is based on the steps Nintendo took to bring this game to newer audiences and its switch integration. Not the best of the zelda franchise but it’s the beginning of the storyline so you’ve gotta play it. The game just lacks a lot of the fun gameplay other zelda games bring. I didn’t really find this game to be “fun”

    Not my favorite game in the series but I like how they translated the Wii controls over to the Switch. It was awkward on the Wii but feels more natural this way. Another solid Zelda title but feels a bit dated nowadays

    As a game, it's excellent. As a remaster, it could be better.

    Great for Zelda fans. A huge world to explore. Prequel for Breath of the wild. You just can't go wrong for adventure games!

    It plays surprisingly well with a pro controller, I love that you can play this game without having to swing your wrists around everwhere to perform simple actions. It's an easy improvement on the original.

    Skyward Sword with many quality of life improvements. Definitely worth it if you were a fan of Skyward Sword, but it won't change things if you didn't like the original at all.
