Gone are the inexplicable forced waggle traversal controls of the original. But now, we have the option for tactile, non-motion controls. You can dash and auto-jump off/clamber up ledges, which is how you’ll get around nearly every environment. Skyward Sword HD, at a base level, controls a lot like prior 3D Zeldas. I’ll get back to the topic of how tutorials were streamlined, but for now let’s head right into the controls, because I know that’s what you’re dying to hear. We didn’t need our hand held in 2011, and we don’t need it now: the lack of trust in players after shipping numerous 3D iterations of Zelda was baffling. The opportunity to skip over cutscenes in the HD edition is fantastic (especially for the first hour or so), as is the slightly shortened tutorial. My issues with Skyward Sword started with its intro, which was long, grating, and kicked off the trend of over-tutorializing.
I apologize in advance if this review is partially a gripe-fest for the original, but it’s kind of unavoidable! The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD ( Switch) There’s still issues! But they’re not nearly as prevalent, and the lack of them allows the best parts of it to truly sing. Thankfully, Nintendo got it right this time on Switch. It summed up the tug of war of enjoyment and pain I experienced with Skyward Sword. After she ruined a final dungeon puzzle when I originally played it back in 2011, I had to put down my gold-plated Wiimote and just laugh. Serving as the equivalent of Ocarina of Time‘s Navi Fi is your companion throughout the adventure, and for whatever reason, proceeds to essentially spoil the entire game, every step of the way.
But perhaps the most egregious sin of all was robbing players of a base level of exploration with Fi. 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.
