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...
Skyward Sword remains as charming as ever, even if it's also still dominated by clunky controls and odd gimmicks that are exactly as weird as you remember them. The characters and story have aged like fine wine, the quality of life improvements help allev...

Dungeons are cleverly designed and satisfying to solve, Touching story complemented by one of the series' best soundtracks, Quality-of-life improvements help smooth over some previously irritating elements and improve overall pacing
Button-only controls largely feel cumbersome, Gyro controls, while responsive, need to be reset frequently, Tears hunts and other padding drag down the adventure

Abstract: I'll be blunt: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword had a lot of underlying problems when it was released, and I'll touch on them in this review of the HD remaster. But perhaps the most egregious sin of all was robbing players of a base level of exploration...
Engaging story and characters, The Sky is fun to explore, Topnotch dungeon design, A few nice qualityoflife changes, The usual great soundtrack, Tons of content
Visual style hasn't held up, Restrictive, repetitive structure, Controls still aren't optimal, Key feature tied to Amiibo
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is a conservative update to one of Link's less-heralded adventures that's unlikely to change many minds one way or the other. The padding, control limitations, and other issues fans have long bemoaned are still in ful...
Charming story and characters, Smart and deep evolving dungeon design, Streamlined tutorials and explanations, Striking, modernized visual design, Successful button control adaptation
Handful of control limitations, Pace is still slow
