Depicting the earliest tale in The Legend of Zelda timeline, a young knight must journey between the endless sky and the mythical surface below in search of his childhood friend, Zelda. As their destiny unfolds, a wicked plan to resurrect an ancient evil
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...

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...

Excellent HD remaster of a very SD game,Plenty of gameplay with a 40+ hour adventure,Puzzles and battles are inventive and fun,60fps gameplay makes it more responsive
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...
Plays fantastically with standard controls, Incredible dungeon design, Inventive boss battles
Pacing and padding issues, Camera can be finicky, Some elements have aged poorly
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is an adventure worth taking, a chance to reevaluate one of the largest and most experimental games in the series' history...

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...
Abstract: Because this is a big Zelda game with dozens of hours of stuff to do and we only received review code late last week, I'm going to hold off on a final review until I've completed the main story later this week. Until then, I wanted to focus on some of the...
Abstract: Pasaron casi 10 años para regresar a ‘The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, una de las joyas de Wii que no fue tan valorada en su momento por apostar por los controles de movimiento, siendo uno de sus puntos más atractivos, pero con algunos problemas. Por...
