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.

    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.

    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.

  • Sheshounet😐 mixed

    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.
