  • The best story
  • Music and characters of the series
  • Cleverly designed dungeons and overworld
  • Motions controls still feel best

The editors didn't like

  • Non-motion controls are tricky to get to grips with
  • Some graphical glitches remain
  • Very pricey for a remaster - classic or not
  • Pacing and padding issues
  • Camera can be finicky
  • Some elements have aged poorly
  • It's not Breath of the Wild (but what is?)
  • A bit of repetition and backtracking in the latter half
  • Controls take some getting used to
  • Combat sound effects seem incredibly loud compared to the rest of the game
  • This game was reviewed on Nintendo Switch but the original is available for Nintendo Wii

  • Abstract:  In 2011, when Nintendo reforged The Legend of Zelda around the waggling of a Wii remote in Skyward Sword, there was a sense that the developer had lost sight of the wood for the trees; that in focusing so tightly on gyroscopic sword-waving, the game lost...

  • Non-motion controls are tricky to get to grips with,Some graphical glitches remain,Very pricey for a remaster - classic or not
  • Our biggest problem with the game, however, is its price. The non-motion controls can be frustrating, but we can balance that with the option of playing the game without having to take over the living room floor. But, to price Skyward Sword HD the same as...

  • Abstract:  Quality of 'Loft. A fascinating second look at one of the oddest Zeldas out there. I'm not sure there is a more magical moment in all of Zelda than the moment you first hit a timeshift stone. For five minutes or so you've been exploring a dead world of gr...

  • The best story, music and characters of the series, Cleverly designed dungeons and overworld, Motions controls still feel best, but button controls also available, Lots of welcome quality-of-life improvements
  • It's not Breath of the Wild (but what is?), A bit of repetition and backtracking in the latter half
  • A decade later, Skyward Sword HD is the definitive version of an unfairly maligned masterpiece that fixes a lot of issues people had in the past, making for a much smoother and accessible game. Sure, fans might have wanted more from Zelda's 35th annivers...

  • Sword fighting feels satisfying once you get the hang of it, Great story and characters, Lots of environmental puzzles, Gyro controls are wonderful for aiming, World design is neat, Plenty of optional content, Less talking and optional motion controls fix
  • Stamina and item durability is a bit useless, The Sky is generally boring, Lots of returning to old areas, No fast travel

  • New control options, Vastly improved visuals and frame rate, Still a fantastic game
  • Few control or accessibility options, Only somewhat trimmed dialogue, Fast travel is locked behind amiibo
  • Skyward Sword HD is definitely the best version of the game with vastly improved visuals and new control options, but I can't help but feel it's lacking as a Zelda rerelease. There's no new content, and I doubt the changes are enough to win over those who...
