Our analysis
The Switch HD remaster of Skyward Sword fixes the original's rough edges with tighter motion controls, a button scheme that works, crisp HD visuals at 60fps and a streamlined sidekick. Locking fast travel behind an amiibo is a misstep, but it is a sublime must-play.
Our analysis
Skyward Sword HD offers fantastic visuals, music, dungeons and story, with welcome button controls making it more accessible. Its linear design and limited new content may disappoint returning players, but newcomers are in for a great adventure.
Our analysis
Skyward Sword HD holds up better than expected, with a compelling story, a standout orchestral score, 60fps and quality-of-life fixes, though the button-only sword controls feel awkward. It is worth it for newcomers and a wallet call for returning players.
Our analysis
Ben Reeves gave the remaster an 8 out of 10. While the game has great dungeons and new quality-of-life improvements like button-only controls and faster dialogue, the bloated overworld content and tedious sections between dungeons hold it back. Still recommended for Zelda fans willing to work through its quirks.

Our analysis
Skyward Sword HD improves upon the original with button controls and quality-of-life fixes, but the game's fetch quest-heavy structure and linear design remain significant flaws. Despite these issues, it represents the best way to play this divisive classic.

WatchOur analysis
A solid Zelda game with great story, characters, and dungeons that benefits significantly from the Switch HD remaster's control options. The stick controls make it accessible to players who previously bounced off the original motion controls.

Our analysis
An average game with interesting story and presentation, but severely hampered by poor motion controls, repetitive exploration requiring you to replay the same areas 3-4 times, and an excessive price point for a remaster of a 10-year-old Wii game. The reviewer calls it the worst 3D Zelda they've played.
