It’s not surprising that there’s a large amount of hype surrounding an HD remaster of Skyward Sword. With the Wii being 15 years old in 2021, many people never had a chance to play the original title. Skyward Sword is an essential Zelda installment, chronologically taking place before all other games in the series. Those playing for the first time will see the Zelda universe before there was a Hyrule Castle or Ganon.

For those of us who have played Skyward Sword already, the HD port offers button controls. Although Skyward Sword was well received when it came out, not everyone liked the motion controls. Button controls on the Switch port could give many of us a newfound appreciation of the title. Graphically, Skyward Sword HD is an improvement on the original, as expected from a remaster.
