The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is the only Zelda game I know of where Zelda tries to kill Link twice in the first hour. And that counts as far as I'm concerned.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD – Before You Buy
It’s now available on Nintendo Switch in an HD edition, bringing the 2011 graphics up to 2021 standards, and features a new control scheme so players can pick up the game on a Switch Lite. If you liked the motion controls of the original version, they’re here too, thanks to gyroscopes built into the Switch’s JoyCons.
As a Zelda game, Skyward Sword is an odd experience. At its worst, Skyward Sword feels like a tech demo, so in love with the possibilities of the 2011-era motion controls that the overall experience suffers; it’s linear, easy, and hand-holding.
At its best, Skyward Sword is one of those video games that convinces people to like video games. It’s playing at the shallow end of the franchise’s pool, but it’s a very good pool. If you’re looking for something to do until Breath of the Wild 2 comes out, why not explore its spiritual predecessor?
