Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Love this game. Met All My expectations. Must buy.

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.

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.

This is in my opinion the best way to experience this game. The hd and new controls are great.

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 .

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.

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.

60fps HD Remaster. Smooth, gyro, HD, better text boxes

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

This has been a good remake for the switch. It took some getting used to, as I was used to Breath of the Wild controls, and playing on a switch lite, this is a learning curve. But overall, a great return to a past Zelda.

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.

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.

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.

just an OG zelda player and story line is okay, game play over all is better.

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.

I thought that this game was an amazing game it had everything and I was never really stuck in any parts because it was so direct and you can explore everything and anything. It one player and I live how every character had a place and purpose in the game.

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.

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!
