@@Nickk7878-v8t This is a really stupid comment. Just because someone has played the original before does not mean that they own it right now. And it aint none of your business what people do with their own hard earned money. And while I'll admit that I'm not going to pay $60 for it, but maybe when it gets cheaper, it's a lot cheaper than going out and buying a wii system and the original game.
@@Markiplier2 I understand. I just can't stand people whining to other people about what they do with their money like it's their business. I know it's probably gonna be expensive but we can't stop people from wanting it. Especially if they can play it on the go. Like I said, I won't pay 60, but when it's lower I'd love to give it a shot cause I've never played the original and it looks fun. I'm personally looking forward to the new Metroid coming in October also. 😁👍
That's weird they're presenting it as a new game instead of talking about what they actually changed, would've been nice to show some comparison or something
The majority of people won't have played this before, so it makes sense they're showcasing it this way. Pretty sure they did the same thing for Windwaker and Twilight Princess HD when they came out.
@@bradaloop Still, TP and WW Hd's had massive improvements in gameplay and little things to make your life easier. The TP wolf sections were shorter and WW had a shorter triforce quest. We havent seen anything like that from this game. Which is a shame, I love this game but there were definatly some things they can improve or do to make our life easier. Not to mention it is more expensive now than it was in 2011.
I have friends who've only played breath of the wild and are thinking about getting this game but don't understand what a normal Zelda game is like. This is perfect.
My 2 best friends have only beaten botw (one of them has played a little bit of zelda 1 and watched me play skyward sword, while the other has made decent progress in a link to the past)
ive onky played botw then moved to link in time on snes. this game would be my last choice because the regular wii version is cheaper and the same exact thing as this switch version. this isnt worth $60, its not even worth $20 cuz its an emulation, which u could get for free
I hope that they atleast changed that. Just like the tears of light in Twilight princess. Every HD remake made some quality of life improvements but Skyward sword doesn't really have that much accept better controls and a amiibo that you have to buy first.
@@alexvermeulen6415 I liked the silent realm tbh. It makes you use everything you know about that area and puts it in practice. It wasn't all that long either and you only had to do it 3 times...
So far we haven't really seen any new gameplay feature other than the one locked behind the amiibo. Hope that changes in the upcoming weeks. I'd at least like to see Hero mode available from the start. Also, Nintendo is very sneaky, they haven't flat-out confirmed you can't use button controls while the Switch is docked (edit: I stand corrected). But I'll still use the joy-cons as wiimote and nunchuk 'cause my right stick has drift lol (I can't send them to get fixed, I live in South America!)
if it works on the switch lite then I'm assuming it will work with normal controls in docked mode. Also i'm pretty sure in the intial annocuncement they confirmed that they added the controls to the stick, so it is usable on the controllers and lite
Just imagine how Fi will break the fourth wall this time. "Master, it seems that your wiimote has been upgraded, are these new controls to your liking? Or would you prefer to stay at handheld mode?"
Fi: "Master, swing the sword with your right hand." Me: "But I'm left-handed, and so was Link in every game except this one and Breath of the Wild. Plus, both joy-cons have their own gyros!" Fi: "Master, swing the sword with your right hand, or I'm grabbing a ruler." Admittedly, I'm the one breaking the fourth wall in this joke example rather than Fi, but it still works.
Look, i'm buying this game but it's a real shame that they didn't announce anything new like the other HD remakes like windwaker and twilight princess.
@@lou-pf6sj why so people like you not want them on the switch? I'm genuinely asking here, because ive seen some people with this mindset that since it was on the Wii u, it shouldn't be on the switch. Like honestly, why on earth not? Countless other Wii u ports have been brought over
Im so excited about that feature, I really hope it doesn’t glitch out and not work if I full out swing it like I’m actually holding a sword or with the shield.
Thats the reason many people think the controls on the Wii didn't work, because most of the people complaining just didn't use their controllers correctly. I for myself never had any issue with them, so for a long time I couldn't understand the critisims.
This looks nice, but the only quality of life improvements seem to be optional button controls, and the one locked behind the Amiibo. I wish there were more because the HD ports of Twilight Princess and especially Wind Waker had more than this.
There seems to be some hints of alterations to Fi's dialogue, according to UK listing. But, to what extent, we don't yet know. “Various quality-of-life enhancements, including refinements to player tutorials and general guidance throughout the adventure.”
They just announced and put on the official site they made "refinements to player tutorials and general guidance" Whatever that means. Some people believe Fi is toned down and they removed multiple item animations. We will see when everyone gets a copy and reviews come out.
@@confusedtoad8757 Yeah it's like the heatwave shimmer in Super Mario Sunshine, if you increase the internal rendering resolution in the Dolphin emulator the effect gets diminished due to how the effect is done.
@@confusedtoad8757 Man wouldn't have been cool if they actually change the textures and stuff so they can add it on later so it can still have that effect

I only recently played it about 2 years ago cause it was on my list of 3D Zelda games I haven't played. I bought wind waker HD at the same time cause I also haven't played wind waker I really enjoyed both of them, I tackled wind waker first cause I didn't have any batteries for my Wiimote

This was my first Legend of Zelda game. I was really little, maybe 5 or 6, even younger! I have a lot of great memories of this game. Can't wait to play it again at 17 this time.
very special to me too came out when I was 18 left school and had my first night job at a casino doesn't sound like much but it was a part of a new chapter in my life that was exciting for me.
Can't wait to hang out again with my boy GROOSE!!!!

Just download dolphin, a 4k texture pack, and run the game in a resolution you preffer. There is no reason to pay Nintendo $60 for what could be sold for $25 maybe . Since, all Nintendo did was edit the game config file can selling that edit of the game on a rather poor emulator on the switch .
@ I don't think button controls, re-worked Fi dialogue system, bug fixes (watch a speedrun), skippable text and cutscenes, were all a config file. Some of them yeah probably, but definitely not all.
Everybody I've seen who complains about the motion controls swings the Wiimote like a goddamned maniac when most of the time it only requires gentle wrist flicks.
The first time I fought demise I found it pretty easy, the second time however I had more hearts and more potions and I struggled for quite a while even dying and having to go back several times getting new potions and fairies every time. I feel like demise is super inconsistent with his difficulty.
i found it a tad frustration but i never had the wii motion plus so maybe thats why? and it constantly needed to be re-synced on my side loved the game to pieces regardless tho
I’d rank the 3D Zelda games like this: 1. Wind Waker 2. Twilight Princess 3. Ocarina of Time 4. Majora’s Mask 5. Skyward Sword 6. Breath of The Wild All the games are great and Skyward Sword is amazing!
3 роки тому
@@jackthememer1186 In order of favorite or quality? For instance, Ocarina Of Time is for sure my favorite, but I wouldn't say it is the best
They've done this before (e.g. with Mario Odyssey, in which they spoiled a lot of surprises, and surprises were the only truly enjoyable thing about that game, tbh). These trailers suck imo - "Quick, get people hyped for a game we're currently relying on selling by telling them everything about it!" The worst part is, they work - a trailer that spoiled a lot of SM3DW got people hyped about it after the initial negative reaction to it when it was announced for Wii U, and, like I mentioned earlier, Odyssey had this kind of trailer towards launch, and look how well that sold! (That wasn't the only factor in its commercial success, of course, but it probably still helped.)
@@Markiplier2 Ye, I could not see much of the hype for Odyssey myself. People gave it high praise, but I can just say it may be the best Mario game, but for me that is not saying much since the story is always the same bland thing that does not really make since until Game Theory shows up. And truth be told, Game Theory is probably wrong...in that they did not put any of that stuff down on purpose, or if they did, then they are NEVER going to do anything with it even though it makes for a lot more interesting story than, "Bowser captured princess again."
@@TMS-Oddbot Well, how much does story matter in a mainline Mario game? Sure, it's neat when they do more with it (like Galaxy increasing the presentation and having the Rosalina's storybook stuff), but ultimately, the story in a mainline Mario game is basically there for context for why Mario's running and jumping everywhere. In Sunshine, it was him clearing his name after being framed by Bowser Jr. for polluting Isle Delfino.
If you want me to buy this again for $60, (especially when the games format essentially sparked a 3D Zelda reboot), you're gonna have to show me some more improvements than just handheld mode.
@@mistressbayonetta my cousin has the Mario Edition and he doesn't have Joy Con Drift and I don't care if this is the lowest selling Zelda game this is the first Tranditional 3D Zelda game that's on the Switch. It's what I wanted plus never gotten to finish this game on the Wii anyway
It's severely underrated, and has one of the best stories in the series, imo. It's not perfect, but if you can get over the few minor flaws, it's amazing.
That would potentially be great, depending on how they decided to handle the remakes. Here's what I think would be best for each of them: *Wind Waker:* The best for it would be something of a mix between the original and the Wii U remake. From the Wii U remake, it should keep the more vibrant colors & lighting (minus the bloom) and the new shadow effects, the remade music, the various QoL improvements (except for how quickly the grappling hook hits the floor of the ocean when used on the boat to receive sunken treasure), and the swift sail. From the original, it should keep the full cel-shading (in the remake, Toon Link sometimes looks like a mii rather than a cartoon). Finally, it should also have a version of the game with the cut content such as the two missing dungeons and the undersea segments of the temple dungeons added back in (with the idea being that the original version in terms of content can still be played). *Twilight Princess:* Take the Wii U remake, make the Wolf Link amiibo feature no longer tied to amiibo, and upgrade the visuals a bit more. *Ocarina of Time:* Take the graphics from the 3DS remake, greatly improve the textures and go further in realizing the look of the original artwork, get rid of the over-brightening in the dungeons and Ganon fight, fix the, for lack of a better way of describing it, "air hockey" movement animations, and put the missing textures (namely bloodstains on the walls and stuff like that) back in the Bottom of the Well mini-dungeon. *Majora's Mask:* Start with the original game rather than the remake, add the expanded bomber's notebook and owl-statue-saving, and update the graphics in subtle ways; this is one game whose N64 graphics have arguably actually aged well, since it looks kind-of like watching a horror movie on VHS: the resolution actually adds to the eeriness, so it honestly should remain subtle in its graphical changes.
Regardless of the criticisms involved in their re-releasing this on this year's Zelda anniversary, this game was sorely in need of a re-release anyway. The Wii was a poor system to keep this game exclusive to, especially with the "gimmicks" of the Wiimote involved, whereas most other Zelda games have been re-released several times over on many systems by now. It's time this game saw a new means of availability.
Did they really have to charge full price for it though (and without making any substantial changes that would warrant that price tag)? You could get it on Wii U virtual console for $20.
Gimmicks? The motion controls worked great. Sprinting and swinging the Wii remote was so Satisfying to do a forward slash and the 1:1 sword was very responsive to your movements. Why is it so difficult to swing a Wii remote in a particular direction. Never played the hd remaster, but using analog to direct your sword to slash an enemy in the required direction to damage it, you can't take that out of the game. Analog control would be a nightmare I would think
@@Jackern_ You could play it on an [e-word that that I probably can't say here], but apparently the controls can suck on that, so this probably is your best bet if you aren't planning on buying another Wii/Wii U. (Nintendo really does have everyone by the balls, lol)
I don’t know why but I’m super excited for this, despite having finished it. Just reminds me of a simpler time (10 years ago!). Skyloft is so cosy and nostalgic.
Everyone who hasn't played this: MASTER THE SHIELD BASH TIMING WITH EVERY ENEMY! This is crucial for keeping your shield from breaking, your life from depleting, and keeping your enemy off balance (which you will need!). Enjoy this epic story, which is the only game that's ever brought a tear to my eye! and also, she's annoying, but if you actually use Fi, she has more info about more things than any Zelda game ever has and the attention to detail with her knowledge is amazing- from locations to enemies to the NPC's you encounter. If you like that kind of stuff, it goes really deep!
@@roarinworldwide7892 I find that subjective. I never really had a problem with them, but I know people that hate them, and the pros outweigh the cons to me. I'm going to try it both ways, since the Joy Con motion control is more reliable than Wii motion plus, and I can't wait to try it with just the buttons/sticks since I've never done it before and I love the game. I can't begrudge anyone for hating motion controls, though, to each his own.
@@halfdraco7765 well yeah but to buy a 60 dollar game that I already have except like 2 new things and being "hd" (it really doesn't look much different) it doesn't seem worth it. But idk
This is such an underrated Zelda game. Yes it had a little more goofiness than other ones, but it also has some great tense moments too! The world is so pretty and vibrant and I love the concept of the sky! I just hope they take advantage of this “second chance” of sorts to buff out some things. I really want more to explore in the sky. The game lacked where Wind Waker also lacked. A so called Open World game but anything really worth looking out outside of the main storyline was few and far in between.
I don’t think that Skyward Sword is trying to be an open-world game. The sky is meant to provide a break from the puzzles, so in a sense it’s more similar to Hyrule field than the great sea. But yes I agree it needs more content. It’s not a particularly enjoying break lol
@@birdcar7808 Agreed, Skyward Sword absolutely was not trying to be an open-world game. If anything, BotW being an open-world was a response to how much Skyward Sword wasn't one.
even back in e3 2011, the developers said that the SS overworld is “one giant dungeon”. You navigate through it and find and unlock shortcuts so it’s easier to backtrack. It was never meant or implied to be open world
@Patrick Swan the hd remakes of them are less than 10 years old so they would be cheaper just not enough to make all three of them for $60 too expensive
Why on earth would they do that when they have well over a million fans so brainwashed that they will actually think paying $60 for a 10 year old game with 2 extra months of dev work is a fair deal.,😂😂
Yeah, and it's not like they have to do alot. I adore skyward sword as it's my favorite zelda game, however i feel re releasing the most criticized game and not anything else isn't enough. I'll happily buy this game, but i can get behind needing the 2 already existing hd games on their modern console Edit: or they should've just done something more
I know the fans were kinda divided when this was announced, but I'm looking forward to it. Before _Breath of the Wild_ took the crown, _Skyward Sword_ was my favorite _Zelda_ title -- the saturated colors and slight stylization made the game stand out visually, and the tweaks they made to the gameplay were well-executed and opened the door to some really clever puzzles and bosses. More than anything, though, it's easy to look back on _Skyward Sword_ as the prototype of _Breath of the Wild_ -- the expanded traversal mechanics, the broad world, the environmental puzzle design, the variety in the combat encounters, the stamina meter and crafting systems... all of them were expanded on in _BotW_ to incredible effect, and this was the game that let them test out those new approaches to how a _Zelda_ game could be done.
@@lagrush9039 That's an area where the Switch's hardware might be able to improve on the original. The Wii Remote controls for the Harp were kinda token, and I felt like it was the weakest part of an otherwise brilliant game -- but with the Joy-Con controllers, they could switch up the movement so it feels like you're _actually_ strumming the strings. I _hope_ they do that.
@@elephantyarn7378 Zelda BotW has many main categories that allow the use of amiibos, so that's a pretty strong precedence when comparing to another Zelda game with useful amiibo mechanics
the speedrun is already going to be super boring because we won’t be able to do the back in time glitch. and nintendo tends to patch glitches in hd versions of the game, so they might patch brake sliding and extending blow as well. can’t wait for a 6 hour speedrun 🙂
@@Katherine._.97._. Well tbf l get that BiT shouldnt work without the reset-button, OoT3D and MM3D also had glitches patched and but those speedruns are still cool, especially since they've got unique glitches all of their own! Let's wait how buggy/non-buggy the game actually turns out to be before writing off the speedruns in their entirety :]
@@Sponsie1000 that is true, there could be some interesting glitches having to do with the fact that the animation is in 60fps but the physics is in 30fps. but the original game didn’t have that many glitches outside of what BiT could do, and it doesn’t look like Nintendo changed much at all for this remake, so i’m not getting my hopes up.
I actually don't like the deal since you have to pay 60 buck for a WII game that came out like ten years ago and i think is cheaper emulate the game or buying a modified Wii since You can download it, cause that practice of selling you older games like it was new it's really AWFUL
@@percy3422 yeah you can totally Buy it if You want it's your money after all but since Crash bandicoot remake and Spongebob remake i think this remastered it's really overprized
@UC90SJ_ibcPIbvGxAdxfyc6g yeah you can totally Buy it if You want it's your money after all however since this official HD remaster it's a WII port is really overprized and games like CRASH N SANE TRILOGY and Even SPONGEBOB RE-HIDRETED came out with lower prize and THEY ARE REMAKES not REmasters but REMAKES they literally Made the whole Game again, and the simple concept of REmastering a game means that it's not 100% original, You are re-using the same code, engine and basically everything of the Game that came out ten years ago, and correct me if i'm wrong BUT YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT IF NINTENDO PORT FREAKING MARIO SUNCHINE TO THE SWITCH USING AN ACTUAL EMULATOR AND THEY SELLING ME THE GAME LIKE IT WAS NEW *You think it's fair* of course piracy it's not out of context on this discussion because *NINTENDO THEMSELVES USED THAT TO POORLY MAKE A PORT OF THE 3D MARIO GAMES AND ONLY GOD KNOWS IF THEY ARE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN WITH THIS PORT OR FUTURE PORTS* and if you honestly think THAT's a fair deal then it's your money dude, You are literally telling NINTENDO in his face that You would pay 60 dollars for FREAKING Mario 64 on the switch
I'm a big Zelda fan and let me tell you this game has everything. Incredible story, the best characters development, amazing dungeons, gorgeous musics and powerful cutscenes full of emotions. It's the only Zelda game that bring me tears at the end.
Remember folks, if the Amiibo's out of stock then Nintendo loses nothing if you buy an unlicensed NFC tag containing the same data for a fraction of the price. It's still cruddy to have the feature locked behind Amiibo functionality in the first place, but if you just want the functionality and don't care about the figure as much this option will be readily available!
I'm not familiar with the original, was there a menu to ask Fi for advise, objectives etc. like at 4:05? If not, hopefully this means Fi will... interject some of that less often, as that's the biggest gripe I've heard from this game.
@Steven H. Doesn't mean he's young, just means that, as he said, it was his first zelda game. Someone can be 40 and have had Super Mario 3D Land be their first mario game, then have nostalgia for it 10 years later. Nostalgia isn't exclusive to children.
They don’t care it’s about business bro. And all you guys money. I’ll definitely be waiting for the price to drop in the future lol. Nintendo is so messed up. Sad they keep trying to scam us Mario and Zelda fans. I see through their easy money plan they been doing it for 5 yrs straight now with the Switch and it’s sickening
Well they can’t lock all loftwings behind amiibo so maybe they’ll give us a special loftwing like the crimson loft wing link has, while letting us use any other loftwing without the amiibo
I pray to God you are wrong about the botw2 thing. The fact they already locked a gameplay mechanic behind a limited release of a piece of plastic is such a bad practice for a company who claims they care about their consumers
@@brockjenks The gameplay mechanic is useless if you aren’t a speedrunner. There is an abundance of bird statues in the game that serve the exact same purpose as the amiibo
This is hype and I'm definitely getting this game but this game should have been $40 individually and the amiibo being $15 but sold with physical copies for $50.
I just find it so incredibly epic that Link looks in so seriously just before he enters a dungeon, takes a fighting stance and really anticipates the moment. Please take over Nintendo for all The Legend of Zelda video games in the future🙏🏻
I literally only want the amiibo cause I think it’s pretty. Like I love this iteration of Zelda and how happy she is in that pose. I’m just hacked that people are actually gonna screw us casuals over.
I love the way they incorporated the amiibo in there! 4:04 Such a quality of life improvement to be able to travel between ground and sky from anywhere and return to your exact location!
Hands down the best motion control game I’ve ever played. I know a lot of people complain about it but I’m convinced they didn’t center their sensor or recalibrate their Wiimotes. Luckily this newer version will have even better motion controls. Looking fwd to playing this again!!! LOZ is the GOAT!!!!!
I don't see myself personally picking up the game because of the pricing, but I'm happy to see Nintendo still embrace the idea of motion control. It's perfect for the Switch and games like Arms further show the concept is still really fun
I literally had to recalibrate my wiimote every 5 minutes with this game which made it a lot longer than it should've. I still had a lot of fun though but the controller issues make this the zelda game that took me longer to beat.
@@argo9721 yeah I’m convinced those people were impatient and didn’t understand how to properly position their sensor and recalibrate their wiimote. I’m sure some people tried it without the Wiimote plus as well which Nintendo clearly stated we needed for the game.
Worst case scenario, someone will make amiibo cards for those who want the much-needed feature. Unofficial but works the same way. Would very much love for a full solution to scalpers though, since clearly they have nothing better to do with their miserable lives and don't lose sleep over making others feel their misery.
I agree with both you dudes. What makes it worse is they have no shame, they happily advertise their scalping on places like eBay. The only way we can win is to never, ever purchase from them, no matter how much you want something; it’s a simple case of bleeding them dry.
@@firstbornchronicler I'm with you on that sir. Scalpers are targeting all the good Nintendo merch. Metroid dread special edition gone, same for the amiibos for Metroid dread 😞. We demand justice.
@@firstbornchronicler We could also win if the companies would do something about it, but none of them seem to care at all...which is very telling imo. Shows us that we should remember that they couldn't care less about their players and all they want it money.
@@himikohenson3861 I totally agree. Also, places like eBay should pull scalpers listings, there should be a feature so people can report it. They should be made to sell at face value.
Mass Effect Trilogy also had 3 games with all their DLCs too for $60. An EA games gives better value for an old game than Nintendo...let that sink in..
@@HyouVizer Yeah, I really won’t be supporting skyward sword hd, I can’t complain about a lack of legacy content, then pay $60 for an upscaled port, I was lenient with the Wii U ports since they looked almost as good as switch games, and most included extras and/or DLC, skyward sword has no new content (as of now) and no redone graphics, a true HD remaster would’ve done the game so much justice. just my opinion tho
I've never played this game, and I don't care if they say it's the worst Zelda game, I know I'm going to enjoy it and have a fun time, so I'm excited to play it! I already pre-ordered it btw that is how excited I am(:
People says it's the worst just for the controls but actually are one of the best things in the game. Skyward sword is a masterpiece, don't believe those people that say is bad. :)
The most common thing I hear when people talk about this game is how underwhelming it is. I, however, loved this game to bits when I first played it, and I had a really dumb grin on my face when I saw this announced.
Maybe it's still in the usual "Zelda circle"...like MM and WW were back then not that popular, now they are favourites of most. ;) The criticism is definitely overblown, it's still a very good game.
They took the most beautiful art style in a Zelda game EVER and made it not blurry. Add in the improved motion controls, the 60fps, and (correct me if I'm wrong) the reduced time spent in item animations (one and done, I believe), and you've got a great game. Definitely worth it in my opinion!
@@Wackaz Believe me, the original was great but was such a drag to play and was before its time. Now the motion controls are good enough to actually serve this game right and these improvements do make the game better.
@@Wackaz Maybe not for you, but then again I already love Skyward Sword as is so I don't think they need to change a whole bunch anyways. I'd also like hero mode available at the start, as well as a left-hand mode for others who happen to be lefties (I'm a righty but still). I'm not sure what you would ask for to make it "enough" but honestly this seems like a great package as is - albeit a little too pricey (but Nintendo knows people will eat up their IPs anyways so hey, more power to them.)

I have friends who've only played breath of the wild and are thinking about getting this game but don't understand what a normal Zelda game is like. This is perfect.
Perfect would have been if they ported wind waker and twilight princess as well
@@andrevasquez7892 I mean I still think the Wii U versions of both those games would be better
IMO this game is a great introduction to the usual Zelda formula after BOTW because of its focus on puzzle solving and dungeons
My 2 best friends have only beaten botw (one of them has played a little bit of zelda 1 and watched me play skyward sword, while the other has made decent progress in a link to the past)
ive onky played botw then moved to link in time on snes. this game would be my last choice because the regular wii version is cheaper and the same exact thing as this switch version. this isnt worth $60, its not even worth $20 cuz its an emulation, which u could get for free
Hd silent realm = torture like you’ve never seen!
Revisit your trauma - now in HD!
Pee your pants - in HD!
I hope that they atleast changed that. Just like the tears of light in Twilight princess. Every HD remake made some quality of life improvements but Skyward sword doesn't really have that much accept better controls and a amiibo that you have to buy first.
@@alexvermeulen6415 I liked the silent realm tbh. It makes you use everything you know about that area and puts it in practice. It wasn't all that long either and you only had to do it 3 times...

This Zelda game was my childhood, and this is what I've been wanting since we got a switch! Thank you nintendo, thank you.
So far we haven't really seen any new gameplay feature other than the one locked behind the amiibo. Hope that changes in the upcoming weeks. I'd at least like to see Hero mode available from the start.
Also, Nintendo is very sneaky, they haven't flat-out confirmed you can't use button controls while the Switch is docked (edit: I stand corrected). But I'll still use the joy-cons as wiimote and nunchuk 'cause my right stick has drift lol (I can't send them to get fixed, I live in South America!)
Handheld mode is pretty big i think
I don't think they straight up deconfirmed docked button controls either, considering that pro controller is supported.
@@Ninpalk hopefully it's not just pro controller
if it works on the switch lite then I'm assuming it will work with normal controls in docked mode. Also i'm pretty sure in the intial annocuncement they confirmed that they added the controls to the stick, so it is usable on the controllers and lite

Can you use pro controller?
Thats the reason many people think the controls on the Wii didn't work, because most of the people complaining just didn't use their controllers correctly. I for myself never had any issue with them, so for a long time I couldn't understand the critisims.
This looks nice, but the only quality of life improvements seem to be optional button controls, and the one locked behind the Amiibo. I wish there were more because the HD ports of Twilight Princess and especially Wind Waker had more than this.
There seems to be some hints of alterations to Fi's dialogue, according to UK listing. But, to what extent, we don't yet know.
“Various quality-of-life enhancements, including refinements to player tutorials and general guidance throughout the adventure.”
They just announced and put on the official site they made "refinements to player tutorials and general guidance"
Whatever that means. Some people believe Fi is toned down and they removed multiple item animations. We will see when everyone gets a copy and reviews come out.

Just download dolphin, a 4k texture pack, and run the game in a resolution you preffer. There is no reason to pay Nintendo $60 for what could be sold for $25 maybe . Since, all Nintendo did was edit the game config file can selling that edit of the game on a rather poor emulator on the switch .

@jatokick exactly, but there are so many people who hate it that it just hurts.
i found it a tad frustration but i never had the wii motion plus so maybe thats why? and it constantly needed to be re-synced on my side
loved the game to pieces regardless tho
Most people just have old, broken controllers. I got myself a new Wii remote. And I need new joycons
Honestly, I think the wii remote had better motion control than joy cons. They're awful in games like Mario Galaxy, while it was amazing on the wii.

This trailer felt like a walk-through of the game instead of 'check out this new game' trailer.
Well, it’s a decade old, it really isn’t a “new” game.
They've done this before (e.g. with Mario Odyssey, in which they spoiled a lot of surprises, and surprises were the only truly enjoyable thing about that game, tbh). These trailers suck imo - "Quick, get people hyped for a game we're currently relying on selling by telling them everything about it!"
The worst part is, they work - a trailer that spoiled a lot of SM3DW got people hyped about it after the initial negative reaction to it when it was announced for Wii U, and, like I mentioned earlier, Odyssey had this kind of trailer towards launch, and look how well that sold! (That wasn't the only factor in its commercial success, of course, but it probably still helped.)
@@Markiplier2
Ye, I could not see much of the hype for Odyssey myself. People gave it high praise, but I can just say it may be the best Mario game, but for me that is not saying much since the story is always the same bland thing that does not really make since until Game Theory shows up. And truth be told, Game Theory is probably wrong...in that they did not put any of that stuff down on purpose, or if they did, then they are NEVER going to do anything with it even though it makes for a lot more interesting story than, "Bowser captured princess again."
@@TMS-Oddbot Also, somehow it wasn't big enough of a game.
@@TMS-Oddbot Well, how much does story matter in a mainline Mario game? Sure, it's neat when they do more with it (like Galaxy increasing the presentation and having the Rosalina's storybook stuff), but ultimately, the story in a mainline Mario game is basically there for context for why Mario's running and jumping everywhere. In Sunshine, it was him clearing his name after being framed by Bowser Jr. for polluting Isle Delfino.
If you want me to buy this again for $60, (especially when the games format essentially sparked a 3D Zelda reboot), you're gonna have to show me some more improvements than just handheld mode.
Don’t buy it then? Some of us are keen to replay SS with or without changes 1 especially since the game directly correlates to BOTW2

We need Switch remakes for: OoT, Majoras Mask, Windwaker and Twilight Princess !!
Yesssssss especially twilight princess
wink water PLEASE Nintendo
ALSO twilight princess lol
That would potentially be great, depending on how they decided to handle the remakes. Here's what I think would be best for each of them:
*Wind Waker:* The best for it would be something of a mix between the original and the Wii U remake. From the Wii U remake, it should keep the more vibrant colors & lighting (minus the bloom) and the new shadow effects, the remade music, the various QoL improvements (except for how quickly the grappling hook hits the floor of the ocean when used on the boat to receive sunken treasure), and the swift sail. From the original, it should keep the full cel-shading (in the remake, Toon Link sometimes looks like a mii rather than a cartoon). Finally, it should also have a version of the game with the cut content such as the two missing dungeons and the undersea segments of the temple dungeons added back in (with the idea being that the original version in terms of content can still be played).
*Twilight Princess:* Take the Wii U remake, make the Wolf Link amiibo feature no longer tied to amiibo, and upgrade the visuals a bit more.
*Ocarina of Time:* Take the graphics from the 3DS remake, greatly improve the textures and go further in realizing the look of the original artwork, get rid of the over-brightening in the dungeons and Ganon fight, fix the, for lack of a better way of describing it, "air hockey" movement animations, and put the missing textures (namely bloodstains on the walls and stuff like that) back in the Bottom of the Well mini-dungeon.
*Majora's Mask:* Start with the original game rather than the remake, add the expanded bomber's notebook and owl-statue-saving, and update the graphics in subtle ways; this is one game whose N64 graphics have arguably actually aged well, since it looks kind-of like watching a horror movie on VHS: the resolution actually adds to the eeriness, so it honestly should remain subtle in its graphical changes.
I agree. It could be a waste of money if the just copy and paste it though
I would love to play Twilight Princess and Wind Waker in HD though. I never got a WiiU 🥲

Regardless of the criticisms involved in their re-releasing this on this year's Zelda anniversary, this game was sorely in need of a re-release anyway.
The Wii was a poor system to keep this game exclusive to, especially with the "gimmicks" of the Wiimote involved, whereas most other Zelda games have been re-released several times over on many systems by now. It's time this game saw a new means of availability.
Did they really have to charge full price for it though (and without making any substantial changes that would warrant that price tag)? You could get it on Wii U virtual console for $20.
Ah yes that definitely makes it worth $60...
Yea them adding button controls alone is enough for me at least to get the game.
@@matthewmuir8884 I mean it’s Nintendo in 2021, they’re gonna make their games full price and never discount, it is what it is.
Gimmicks? The motion controls worked great. Sprinting and swinging the Wii remote was so Satisfying to do a forward slash and the 1:1 sword was very responsive to your movements. Why is it so difficult to swing a Wii remote in a particular direction. Never played the hd remaster, but using analog to direct your sword to slash an enemy in the required direction to damage it, you can't take that out of the game. Analog control would be a nightmare I would think

This is such an underrated Zelda game. Yes it had a little more goofiness than other ones, but it also has some great tense moments too! The world is so pretty and vibrant and I love the concept of the sky!
I just hope they take advantage of this “second chance” of sorts to buff out some things. I really want more to explore in the sky. The game lacked where Wind Waker also lacked. A so called Open World game but anything really worth looking out outside of the main storyline was few and far in between.
I don’t think that Skyward Sword is trying to be an open-world game. The sky is meant to provide a break from the puzzles, so in a sense it’s more similar to Hyrule field than the great sea. But yes I agree it needs more content. It’s not a particularly enjoying break lol
@@birdcar7808 Agreed, Skyward Sword absolutely was not trying to be an open-world game. If anything, BotW being an open-world was a response to how much Skyward Sword wasn't one.

Well 3 hd 20+ hour games for 60$ is too cheap soooo…
What an original idea. I certainly haven’t heard that discussed frequently for the last 6 months
@Patrick Swan the hd remakes of them are less than 10 years old so they would be cheaper just not enough to make all three of them for $60 too expensive
Why on earth would they do that when they have well over a million fans so brainwashed that they will actually think paying $60 for a 10 year old game with 2 extra months of dev work is a fair deal.,😂😂
Yeah, and it's not like they have to do alot. I adore skyward sword as it's my favorite zelda game, however i feel re releasing the most criticized game and not anything else isn't enough. I'll happily buy this game, but i can get behind needing the 2 already existing hd games on their modern console

I mean you can't even be mad at them, this game is still going to sell millions, if I were them I'd take the easy money too lol
I know the fans were kinda divided when this was announced, but I'm looking forward to it. Before _Breath of the Wild_ took the crown, _Skyward Sword_ was my favorite _Zelda_ title -- the saturated colors and slight stylization made the game stand out visually, and the tweaks they made to the gameplay were well-executed and opened the door to some really clever puzzles and bosses.
More than anything, though, it's easy to look back on _Skyward Sword_ as the prototype of _Breath of the Wild_ -- the expanded traversal mechanics, the broad world, the environmental puzzle design, the variety in the combat encounters, the stamina meter and crafting systems... all of them were expanded on in _BotW_ to incredible effect, and this was the game that let them test out those new approaches to how a _Zelda_ game could be done.
I love SS too

Damn my Zelda game when I was a kid was twilight princess
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NINTENDO ADD A LEFT HANDED MODE THIS TIME
Just hold controllers in the opposite hands 😜
Nah accessibility takes money.
@@jynxx_syn Have you tried that have you tried how awful that is? "Just hold them in the opposite hands" is not a working solution
As a lefty myself, I actually apreciated that Link was left handed. It is pretty rare to see in video games, but all that changed after the Wii 😕.
Yes! If they want me to buy this game, then they need to make it that I can actually play it without being at an unfair disadvantage.
HYPEEEEE!!
GROOSE
WOOOO! LETS GOOOO
Dolphin exists you know
why woud you be hype for this?
@@hwstar9416 not everybody wants to emulate games
There's gonna be a amiiboless and an amiibo speedrun for this game now
Speedruns of Nintendo games almost always ban amiibos by default. I can't think of an exception off the top of my head.
@@elephantyarn7378 Zelda BotW has many main categories that allow the use of amiibos, so that's a pretty strong precedence when comparing to another Zelda game with useful amiibo mechanics
the speedrun is already going to be super boring because we won’t be able to do the back in time glitch. and nintendo tends to patch glitches in hd versions of the game, so they might patch brake sliding and extending blow as well. can’t wait for a 6 hour speedrun 🙂
@@Katherine._.97._. Well tbf l get that BiT shouldnt work without the reset-button, OoT3D and MM3D also had glitches patched and but those speedruns are still cool, especially since they've got unique glitches all of their own! Let's wait how buggy/non-buggy the game actually turns out to be before writing off the speedruns in their entirety :]
@@Sponsie1000 that is true, there could be some interesting glitches having to do with the fact that the animation is in 60fps but the physics is in 30fps. but the original game didn’t have that many glitches outside of what BiT could do, and it doesn’t look like Nintendo changed much at all for this remake, so i’m not getting my hopes up.
One of the best stories in a zelda game
Can't wait to play this since I never got to play it due to not owning a Nintendo Wii.
It’s really good I hope you enjoy it
I actually don't like the deal since you have to pay 60 buck for a WII game that came out like ten years ago and i think is cheaper emulate the game or buying a modified Wii since You can download it, cause that practice of selling you older games like it was new it's really AWFUL
@@davidcamilo8577 Or maybe they don’t want to emulate it and want to play an official HD version.
@@percy3422 yeah you can totally Buy it if You want it's your money after all but since Crash bandicoot remake and Spongebob remake i think this remastered it's really overprized
@UC90SJ_ibcPIbvGxAdxfyc6g yeah you can totally Buy it if You want it's your money after all however since this official HD remaster it's a WII port is really overprized and games like CRASH N SANE TRILOGY and Even SPONGEBOB RE-HIDRETED came out with lower prize and THEY ARE REMAKES not REmasters but REMAKES they literally Made the whole Game again, and the simple concept of REmastering a game means that it's not 100% original, You are re-using the same code, engine and basically everything of the Game that came out ten years ago, and correct me if i'm wrong BUT YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT IF NINTENDO PORT FREAKING MARIO SUNCHINE TO THE SWITCH USING AN ACTUAL EMULATOR AND THEY SELLING ME THE GAME LIKE IT WAS NEW *You think it's fair* of course piracy it's not out of context on this discussion because *NINTENDO THEMSELVES USED THAT TO POORLY MAKE A PORT OF THE 3D MARIO GAMES AND ONLY GOD KNOWS IF THEY ARE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN WITH THIS PORT OR FUTURE PORTS* and if you honestly think THAT's a fair deal then it's your money dude, You are literally telling NINTENDO in his face that You would pay 60 dollars for FREAKING Mario 64 on the switch

I'm gonna have a blast playing this for the first time
Me too bro 😃
Well, enjoy! As for me, I'm looking forward to playing again and FINALLY getting a higher completion rate.
Yeah until u face the imprisoned for the first time
I hope you do my first time I was furious the motion controls where junk
Rereleasing a Wii game with no new content for $60 WOOOO LET’S GO
DA BABY
As someone who has never played it before, I would be okay with the price if it weren't for them locking the quick travel behind an amiibo.
New content is 60fps
I think it should be $50 but it’s still a good game!
Don't forget unnecessary Amiibos! YEAH!
I'm a big Zelda fan and let me tell you this game has everything. Incredible story, the best characters development, amazing dungeons, gorgeous musics and powerful cutscenes full of emotions. It's the only Zelda game that bring me tears at the end.
@@mattdkfan92 people just hate the control scheme
@@mattdkfan92 I hate the people that hate the people that hate this.
Remember folks, if the Amiibo's out of stock then Nintendo loses nothing if you buy an unlicensed NFC tag containing the same data for a fraction of the price. It's still cruddy to have the feature locked behind Amiibo functionality in the first place, but if you just want the functionality and don't care about the figure as much this option will be readily available!
@Floch Foster it's the same thing if you have to pay a scalper to get it, since nintendo won't make money off of it, so it really doesn't matter
got my NFC for MH rise the other day, I look sick in my new Magnamarshmallow gear!
@Floch Foster ok mom
@Floch Foster ah sorry after that you said pirate the code yourself so now I respect you
I'm not familiar with the original, was there a menu to ask Fi for advise, objectives etc. like at 4:05?
If not, hopefully this means Fi will... interject some of that less often, as that's the biggest gripe I've heard from this game.
Yup
This was my first Zelda game. I’m about to have a huge nostalgia trip replaying it on Switch!
Well this makes me feel old.
@@stuj1984 Right? My first Zelda game was The Legend of Zelda, 30 years ago.
@Steven H. Doesn't mean he's young, just means that, as he said, it was his first zelda game. Someone can be 40 and have had Super Mario 3D Land be their first mario game, then have nostalgia for it 10 years later. Nostalgia isn't exclusive to children.
@Steven H. You don't think there are 20 yr olds who play Zelda for the first time??
You don't have to be a kid to feel nostalgic lol
They don’t care it’s about business bro. And all you guys money. I’ll definitely be waiting for the price to drop in the future lol. Nintendo is so messed up. Sad they keep trying to scam us Mario and Zelda fans. I see through their easy money plan they been doing it for 5 yrs straight now with the Switch and it’s sickening
My gut feeling tells me that the Loftwing amiibo will give us a rideable one in BotW 2. Hopefully the Wolf Link amiibo still works as well
Don’t count on it
Well they can’t lock all loftwings behind amiibo so maybe they’ll give us a special loftwing like the crimson loft wing link has, while letting us use any other loftwing without the amiibo
I pray to God you are wrong about the botw2 thing. The fact they already locked a gameplay mechanic behind a limited release of a piece of plastic is such a bad practice for a company who claims they care about their consumers
would be way too op
@@brockjenks The gameplay mechanic is useless if you aren’t a speedrunner. There is an abundance of bird statues in the game that serve the exact same purpose as the amiibo
I know it says "overview trailer", but it just feels like an old-timey trailer of a Hollywood movie
imma keep it real with you Nintendo, I ain't paying 60$ for a rerelease
^^^ lol
it's cute that people who don't know this game think speedrunners need the amiibo when in reality they would rather time travel to the end
I hope this version didn't fix that glitch!! I wanna explore Skyloft with the title screen layered on top!
@@TheGoldenDunsparce sadly I bet it is fixed, BiT works by resetting the game on certain frames, but there is no reset button on switch
I think I’ll wait a couple decades for a price drop.
Me too, it’s the best way to have it because it doesn't worth what it cost
This has no right being has true has it is
@@argo9721 what do you mean?
Same here or at least deal with the older Wii version
Or buy a used one?
This is hype and I'm definitely getting this game but this game should have been $40 individually and the amiibo being $15 but sold with physical copies for $50.
The amiibo is a lot bigger than the others tho. But the game should be $50.
@@jackthememer1186 I agree. It should be either $40 or $50.
Hi Agent S
@@agents5307 It’s still a great game regardless tho.
@@jackthememer1186 I agree
I just find it so incredibly epic that Link looks in so seriously just before he enters a dungeon, takes a fighting stance and really anticipates the moment.
Please take over Nintendo for all The Legend of Zelda video games in the future🙏🏻
I literally only want the amiibo cause I think it’s pretty. Like I love this iteration of Zelda and how happy she is in that pose. I’m just hacked that people are actually gonna screw us casuals over.
Wdym "screw us over"?
@@zen_wolf_xyt1041 scalpers
Here’s hoping you get yours. 🤞
That's exactly why I pre-ordered the amiibo
This is probably my favorite game of all time, can't wait to play it again
I love Zelda so much these games are amazing!!
Me too
Yep, they are great games!
No
@@lepapanouwel4663 Oh boy.
I like The Legend of Zelda but not my favorite but got amazing games.
I love the way they incorporated the amiibo in there! 4:04
Such a quality of life improvement to be able to travel between ground and sky from anywhere and return to your exact location!
shoulda made it free
Hands down the best motion control game I’ve ever played. I know a lot of people complain about it but I’m convinced they didn’t center their sensor or recalibrate their Wiimotes. Luckily this newer version will have even better motion controls. Looking fwd to playing this again!!! LOZ is the GOAT!!!!!
I don't see myself personally picking up the game because of the pricing, but I'm happy to see Nintendo still embrace the idea of motion control. It's perfect for the Switch and games like Arms further show the concept is still really fun
I literally had to recalibrate my wiimote every 5 minutes with this game which made it a lot longer than it should've. I still had a lot of fun though but the controller issues make this the zelda game that took me longer to beat.
@@anibalvaldebenito8810 how great will this be though if you no longer have to calibrate it so often, or even at all!
People hated the motion controls because certain people couldn't even play the game because of it
@@argo9721 yeah I’m convinced those people were impatient and didn’t understand how to properly position their sensor and recalibrate their wiimote. I’m sure some people tried it without the Wiimote plus as well which Nintendo clearly stated we needed for the game.

Funny you should say that, I was actually about to search for some Rhythm Heaven content when this video popped up on the main page.

"Colossal bird"
Ostrich: "Ha! We're almost the same size. And you should've seen my cousin the elephant bird."
cant wait for the silent realms to psychologically damage me again
For those interested, the loftwing is based on a bird called the shoebill stork. So cool
I hope there's plenty of Loftwing Amiibo at launch, seeing as the scalper scumbags snatched up all the preorders yet again.
Worst case scenario, someone will make amiibo cards for those who want the much-needed feature. Unofficial but works the same way. Would very much love for a full solution to scalpers though, since clearly they have nothing better to do with their miserable lives and don't lose sleep over making others feel their misery.
I agree with both you dudes. What makes it worse is they have no shame, they happily advertise their scalping on places like eBay. The only way we can win is to never, ever purchase from them, no matter how much you want something; it’s a simple case of bleeding them dry.
@@firstbornchronicler I'm with you on that sir. Scalpers are targeting all the good Nintendo merch. Metroid dread special edition gone, same for the amiibos for Metroid dread 😞. We demand justice.
@@firstbornchronicler We could also win if the companies would do something about it, but none of them seem to care at all...which is very telling imo. Shows us that we should remember that they couldn't care less about their players and all they want it money.
@@himikohenson3861 I totally agree. Also, places like eBay should pull scalpers listings, there should be a feature so people can report it. They should be made to sell at face value.
Unironically one of my favorite Zelda Games, can't wait to play it on Switch
Same
Massaffect trilogy:Graphical overhaul and heavy gameplay changes
Skyward sword HD: 60fps, new controls and a 25$ fast travel option.
Rare replay makes this “remaster” look so bad
You don't even need the Amiibo, you have the statues.
Mass Effect Trilogy also had 3 games with all their DLCs too for $60. An EA games gives better value for an old game than Nintendo...let that sink in..
@@HyouVizer Yeah, I really won’t be supporting skyward sword hd, I can’t complain about a lack of legacy content, then pay $60 for an upscaled port, I was lenient with the Wii U ports since they looked almost as good as switch games, and most included extras and/or DLC, skyward sword has no new content (as of now) and no redone graphics, a true HD remaster would’ve done the game so much justice. just my opinion tho
@Enoch Jackson Oh Ma God, controls so hard to port!?!?! Okay, I will pay $60 for a 10 year old wii game.
I've never played this game, and I don't care if they say it's the worst Zelda game, I know I'm going to enjoy it and have a fun time, so I'm excited to play it! I already pre-ordered it btw that is how excited I am(:
It absolutely isnt the worst Zelda game, its one of my favorites actually. the only problem with this port is that its triple the original price.
People says it's the worst just for the controls but actually are one of the best things in the game. Skyward sword is a masterpiece, don't believe those people that say is bad. :)
i feel like Zelda is so good that even the worst games are exceptional
Is one of the best Zelda you gonna love the story and the dungeons ❤️🥰
@@kazoof5652 so you’re saying that the CD-i trilogy was also good?
4:00 Literally a speedrun amiibo
I loved the heck out of this game when it was released for the wii, and the special harder difficulty made it waaaaay more amazing!
The most common thing I hear when people talk about this game is how underwhelming it is. I, however, loved this game to bits when I first played it, and I had a really dumb grin on my face when I saw this announced.
I didn't enjoy it when I played it but I'm glad you like it and are looking forward to it.
Maybe it's still in the usual "Zelda circle"...like MM and WW were back then not that popular, now they are favourites of most. ;) The criticism is definitely overblown, it's still a very good game.
They took the most beautiful art style in a Zelda game EVER and made it not blurry. Add in the improved motion controls, the 60fps, and (correct me if I'm wrong) the reduced time spent in item animations (one and done, I believe), and you've got a great game. Definitely worth it in my opinion!
Really isn't enough at all.
@@Wackaz
Believe me, the original was great but was such a drag to play and was before its time.
Now the motion controls are good enough to actually serve this game right and these improvements do make the game better.
omg I forgot about those annoying item animations! I already know the value of a blue rupee, thank you!
@@Wackaz Maybe not for you, but then again I already love Skyward Sword as is so I don't think they need to change a whole bunch anyways. I'd also like hero mode available at the start, as well as a left-hand mode for others who happen to be lefties (I'm a righty but still). I'm not sure what you would ask for to make it "enough" but honestly this seems like a great package as is - albeit a little too pricey (but Nintendo knows people will eat up their IPs anyways so hey, more power to them.)
