About this Game:
- Join Link in his emotional quest to save Zelda, a childhood friend who must confront her destiny. Their special bond at the heart of the story is the world's best hope for defeating the encroaching darkness—and its power that will echo through the ages. Embark on a destiny-defining quest to overcome ancient trials and forge the powerful Master Sword. The many residents of the floating island and Link's home, Skyloft, have colorful personalities that shine as you help them with their troubles. Make sure to stop by Beedle's shop, but keep an eye on the troublemaking Groose.
- Descend from the sky to the dangerous world below in this high-flying quest. Your adventure will lead you through perilous dungeons packed with puzzles. Each item you receive will open up even more adventure—uncover a hidden area with the flying Beetle or find a clever way to hinder enemies with a whip. Whether you are scouring for secrets, getting in some sword practice, or upgrading equipment, forge your own path in the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD game.
- Gently swing your sword and angle your slashes to break through opponents' defenses using intuitive motion controls*. Link's in-game movements will correspond to the angle of each strike you make with the Joy-Con controller, creating immersive swordplay that relies on strategy and accuracy. Figuring out how, when, and where to strike adds a puzzle-like twist to swordplay. On the go? Soar and slash using button-only controls. You can also use button controls on a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.

I'd highly recommend to skip this one, or at least don't expect a lot compared to any other Zelda game. I'd even prefer Zelda 2 over this.
This is coming from someone who has beaten EVery console zelda, and about half the portable/game boy zeldas.
Many can get over the controls but I jusr couldnt do it.

I will have to agree with you and I played this on the Wii when it came out. It's my least favorite console Zelda game but I don't think it's an unplayable game. I also don't think botw was all that good but pretty much the opposite reasons of this game. This game at least had classic Zelda dungeons and bosses. The world is nice but it seems like they really put low effort into it after seeing it the first time. Controls wise I don't think I struggled that much and I played the Wii version unless I was fighting ghirham cause you actually have to slash in the proper direction which was a bit finiky. I definitely wont be buying this until it's under $30. I think if they did something similar to what they did for the Mario 3d games, that would've been a lot better experience for these new Zelda fans
Thanks for highlighting this. Got Target to price match for $36.99 after RedCard discount (no state tax).
Nintendo fans don't really have high standards right now

Edit: To be fair, I did use the Pro Controller rather than motion.
But doesn't that speak to the quality (whether perceived or actual) and nostalgia of many Nintendo titles? The fact that Nintendo can command such a relatively high price for a game that is now several years old (albeit enhanced for and ported to the current console) shows the value these games hold for consumers. And this is coming from someone who has enjoyed Nintendo, PlayStation, and PC games most of his life, so I am not loyal to any single platform. Just my opinion.

Thank you for this. The story seems interesting, but the numerous complaints in online reviews regarding the motion controls had dissuaded me from trying it (I never played the original on the Wii). Knowing now that the motion controls can be avoided by using the Pro Controller has caused me to reconsider.
Although some people had unfavorable opinions towards motion control implementation in a mainline Zelda title, I truly believe the game has one of the best utilization of it in a single-player Adventure game. Also, the gameplay will unlikely be replicated in the series in the near future - making this title only more unique.
