80 average through 37 reviews so far. That's way lower than the original Wii versions 93 OHHHH NOOOO (in reality this is probably the score SS was supposed to have since the beginning)

Skyward Sword returns with a some quality of life improvements and the ability to play it with just normal controls over motion controls. It boasts one of the best casts of any zelda game and some of the best dungeon designs and very unique combat. However the game is still fairly linear so if that was your problem with it, you're outta luck here

Destructoid - 8/10
Zelda: Skyward Sword was a weird game to assess in 2011, much less today. It had a lot of great ideas undercut by some questionable design choices, but to some, it was the best Zelda ever made. I understand that $60 for a remaster of a 2011 game is a big ask, but this is the definitive version of a flawed yet fun adventure that should be part of any Zelda rotation.

TheSixthAxis - 8/10
This is what people truly want from a Switch port. A gentle, well thought out, genuine upgrade that captures the heart of the original game and allows it to flourish at a higher standard. Although it is still perhaps a little simplistic, the game has redeemed itself through the quality-of-life updates that were sorely needed the first time around. Skyward Sword is finally a winner, and will undoubtedly delight newcomers and old fans alike.

God is a Geek - 9.5/10
Skyward Sword HD has made a fool of me, and really, I am just so happy I gave it another chance. This is the best version of a truly landmark game.

EGM
As of writing this, Im about three-quarters of the way through Skyward Sword HD, so I still dont know if I will end up beating the game. That final boss fight is still on the horizon. But this time I feel better equipped, because the game itself is simply better in every possible way. Whether or not my redemption arc will see its completion is still unclear, but so far, Nintendo has undoubtedly redeemed what was once the outcast of 3D Zelda games.

NIntendoLife - 9/10
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD introduces a raft of technical improvements and quality of life updates that reinvigorate and revitalise this ten-year-old game. With motion controls more precise than ever before, an alternate button control scheme that totally works, crisp HD graphics, smooth 60fps gameplay and a bothersome sidekick who's been streamlined into something altogether more useful, this really does feel like Skyward Sword as it was meant to experienced. Yes, the locking off of instant travel behind the official amiibo is a misstep, but beyond this one issue what's here is a sublime experience, a technical triumph and an absolute must-play for Switch owners and Zelda fans.
