    The motion controls and gameplay are very similar to that of the original Wii game, which I loved, but this remaster fixed all the annoyances of the original. The characters in this game are very interesting and the best thing about this game in my opinion.

    Definatly fun to come back to finally beat this game. I do have to say i enjoy the button controls alot. Once you get used to them they work out great! I never beat this game on the wii because i did not like the motion controls at all. All around a great game and finally a good experience.

    Nintendo reissues a great game updated with better graphics and increased controls. There is an amiibo for this game that allows Link to fly whenever he wants too.

    I've been waiting for the HD remake of skyward sword as I never played the original on Wii. Great plot controls are a little janky but great game non the less

    Phenomenal game. This is easily my favorite video game series, and Skyward Sword is a great addition. Love that they remade it for Switch so it can be played anywhere!

    The game runs smooth like butter at 60fps. The motion controls are great and improved. The graphics look much smoother, no huge improvement but the change is noticeable.

    Better than you remember. The graphical improvement is more noticeable than I had expected and the changeover from wii to switch wasn’t terribly tough on the controls.

    It reminds everyone Skyward Sword, it was a great game despite at the time the controllers weren’t optimal. Great gameplay, story and music. Like every TLOZ.

    I love Zelda games. I really enjoyed the animation in this one. It gives a cozy vibe if that makes sense. There’s so much to do in these games they will always be my favorites.

    Really amazing HD port, I think when looking at the original version of this game, there was many flaws in regarding to the flow of the game. Despite the story being great, the original did interrupt the pacing with constant dialogues and pacing. However with this port, they were able to fix up the pacing and change up minor details that might’ve looked off from the original. They were even able to add control only mode if you preferred not using motion controls. Aside from that if you’ve never played skyward sword and happen to like story-based Zelda games then i definitely recommend picking this up!

    It’s not BOTW but it’s fun in its own way. It’s not links awakening either. Your not necessarily free to explore, it’s all a one way trip to the end of the game but it’s fun to figure out how to how to solve all the puzzles. Not worth the full price but a fun casual game in my opinion.

    Played through the original on Wii but was never a fan of the controls . The control's for this one is a big of a upgrade and it looks fantastic . Highly recommend.

    The graphics and everything look really great. The camera is very difficult to control. Something obviously did not translate over well from the Wii version.

    The Legend Worth Getting

    As a long time Nintendo fan I grew up playing The Legend of Zelda from the time I was six years which was the time I got into video games. Ocarina of Time was the most fun game ever and at 17 years old was when I heard about Skyward Sword being released on the Wii that I had to play. I was thrilled hearing they ported it onto the Switch remastering it in HD which was absolutely a game worth getting again and it’s forever one of the most memorable games I enjoyed playin
