The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Review Roundup

As we approach the launch date for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD on the Nintendo Switch, the embargo has lifted, giving some outlets the ability to share their review scores, so we will do our best to continually update this list as more scores come in.

At first glance, it does appear that the remake is getting a lot of positive attention, but that is expected, as even the original Wii version was highly acclaimed. However, this HD version has new control options, better graphics, and some overall quality-of-life improvements.

En route to the review roundup, check out the new launch trailer:

There are some strong numbers there, but we do need to take into consideration that this is not a new Zelda title, so it is not expected to rake in big review scores. However, for an HD remake, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD looks like a solid title and definitely worthy of a pick up.
