While both control schemes are enjoyable, you’ll have much more fun playing this way: the mechanics of flight, steering your beetle drone, and using bombs are drastically improved! The engaging combat and mechanics that were built around motion controls still serve their purpose of extra strategy and realism but the frustration that came with that can almost be eliminated. One of the biggest improvements to the motion controls is the new calibration system: instead of taking a 30 second procedure to recalibrate your controller, it can now be done instantly from the pause menu at any time.

Before, players spent hours swinging your limited edition gold WiiMote (included for the 25th Anniversary of the series) around pell-mell to fight evil and now, you can control your sword with a joystick on your Pro Controller or even in handheld mode. While I happened to fall into the love-ish end of that binary, the new control scheme is a massive improvement. One of the biggest complaints about the original version of Skyward Sword was the emphasis on complicated motion controls that you either loved or hated. The Switch is the platform Skyward Sword HD deserves.
I’m glad Nintendo didn’t take the easy route and port over the Wii U versions of Twilight Princess or Wind Waker for the 35th Anniversary of the Zelda series and instead, took a game that didn’t get enough love and support the first time around due to poor timing and controversial mechanics, reintroducing it to a wider audience. But The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is an outlier to their formula: this game was very polarising with fans and critics when it first came out in 2011 and when you pair that with the lack of mainstream support for the Wii late in its lifespan, you wind up with a game that is mostly remembered as a failure and a nostalgia vacuum. In the age of unnecessary remasters, sloppy ports and total remakes, Nintendo continues to capitalise on nostalgia and I am thrilled for it.
