IMO this game is as good as gets on the Wii. Great graphics for the system and time, great use of the Wii motion controls, and of course the story is amazing. If you are a Zelda fan, play this game. Easily in the top 5 Legend of Zelda games.

Game was for another country, but works in USA Wii and is all in English (as description stated), so no worries. Game is awesome. Not too hard, not too easy; just as I would have expected from a Zelda game! The motion controls do take a little getting use to, but playing other Wii motion plus games helps. Just make sure you have your setting right for your distance to your screen. It helps a lot! Just goes to show, just because a lot of people don't like something, doesn't always mean it's bad; just not what they expected or wanted.

It's a great game. Puzzles are plenty and quest/objectives are laid out fairly well. It's not too scary for my young son to watch while I play. Some of the usual later Zelda game problems are still persistent while they did take care of others. They can't seem find a balance between showing the grand scale of the playable world without making it a pain to travel from one end to the other. Auto travel or way-points or warp would be great. In a lot of ways there aren't enough monsters. It seems too sparse and open. I'm glad they fixed the fairy annoyance issues, the lame songs, and objective tracking through reminders and their radar like seeking mechanic but it just comes up short in a lot of ways and I wonder how much actual time is spent waiting through mini cut scenes every time you open a door or chest. That being said, it's still Zelda. It's still has some interesting challenges and it's still worth buying to play through.Read full review
Good game so far! I'm about 3/4 of the way through. The controls were a bit wonky at first, but once you get the hang of it a lot of fun can be had. Good story with memorable characters. Can't wait for breath of the wild! Gonna be twice as epic!

The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword is the game that marked the 25th Anniversary of The Legend of Zelda series. This game has been both praised and criticized but overall a wonderful game. The game is said to have taken place before all the events of The Legend of Zelda games, starting the timeline that would be under scrutiny by many fans and theorists alike. The control scheme is very easy to follow once the player squeezes in some time to practice. The Wii remote acts like the sword and the nunchaku as the shield, and the combat system relies on pinpoint accuracy to strike a target with the sword and shield, not just swinging aimlessly or at random. There are also many points in the game to fly across Hyrule's skies with the bird known as a Loftwing. Multiple side quests also make this game a joy to play and never gets boring. And the enemy AI is smart so it will counter every sword swing and parry. One of the game's downsides is that the controls for the Wii remote and nunchaku can glitch out, sometimes removing and reconnecting each other could solve it temporarily. Also constant adjustment for the Wii remote's field of operation can cause certain motions to be misread. Overall, the game is a wonderful masterpiece and it is a game not to be missed by any fan of The Legend of Zelda series or any video game fan. The story is also a compelling one to the point where tears are shed. At the right price, this game can grace any gamer's game archive, and it can help to get in the swing of things.Read full review
