Some items and actions actually benefit from the new control scheme. That's not to say the button-only controls are entirely worse, however. Link's adventure in Skyward Sword will take him to perilous dungeons filled with tricky obstacles. It isn't nearly as intuitive, and you'll frequently find yourself inadvertently slashing with your sword when you intend to rotate the camera. However, because the button-only scheme maps Link's sword arm to the right stick, you need to hold the L button down in order to swing the camera around with said stick (or rely on pressing the ZL button to constantly recenter the camera behind Link the old-fashioned way). When motion controls are enabled, you can freely adjust the camera using the right stick-a marked improvement over the original game, as the Wii lacked dual analog sticks. The camera also becomes more cumbersome to control while using the button-only scheme. As a result, even simple actions feel more convoluted to execute. Rather than swinging your sword with a press of a button, for instance, slashes are performed by flicking the right stick in different directions, and you need to hold the right stick forward and press the ZR button to throw a bomb overhead. Most of the actions you would normally perform using gestures have been mapped to the right stick, which means the button-only scheme is dramatically different from the controls in other Zelda games. Because so many aspects of the game were designed around the increased range of movements that motion controls afforded, the button controls feel like a cumbersome workaround.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that well. This new control scheme can be toggled on or off at any point from the options menu and allows you to play the game without motion controls. The biggest change in Skyward Sword HD, however, is the addition of button-only controls. That has largely been rectified here, and while she still speaks frequently in Skyward Sword HD, much of her dialogue is now optional, which makes her less bothersome and improves the game's overall pacing. Her constant interruptions made her one of the most grating aspects of the original game, especially as the 'insights' she offered were often glaringly obvious.

Like Navi and Midna in previous Zelda games, Fi serves as your companion for most of the adventure in Skyward Sword, frequently interjecting to relay story information and other hints. More substantial are the adjustments to Fi, the spirit who dwells within your sword. Now Playing: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Video Review By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
