Daily Debate: Was Skyward Sword HD Worth the Wait?

Posted on July 16 2021 by Judy Calder

Today is the day! Skyward Sword HD has finally released in all its glory! The remaster was announced back in February 2021, much to the pleasure of the original game’s fanbase who had been crying out to see this title on the Switch. Nintendo kept the hype train going with other announcements for pre-order bonuses, specially themed Joy-Cons and new amiibo to further excite the Zelda community — and it certainly worked! Now that the date has arrived, many fans will already have gotten their hands on the game itself, and we want to know if it was worth the wait.

Luckily, I was able to grab some awesome pre-order bonuses including the steelbook, keychain and t-shirt. Even better, I nabbed a set of Joy-Cons and the Loftwing amiibo! Enjoying this merch alongside the actual game itself makes for an awesome experience. Skyward Sword is one of my favorite titles in the Zelda series and it’s so satisfying to finally play it on the Switch. There is still plenty of gameplay to enjoy and lots of time to figure out whether I prefer motion controls or standard button movement. For now though, I’d definitely say these last few months have definitely been worth the wait!
