      @@smokey5701 it's not bad necessarily I was just stating that if this guy can't see why other people might say it's bad he's close minded and delusional and not looking at the bigger picture. Anyways the game is good if you want it go for it but it is very backtrack heavy and probably the most linear Zelda game but it probably has the best story and character building in Zelda games. Maybe even some of the best dungeons imo

      @Rizzdice Před rokem +30

      The story was great and the dungeons were pretty good (although still quite weak compared to other games in the series). The controls absolutely sucked and travelling back to the very few areas in the game just felt boring, the lack of a real open place to explore made the whole game feel too linear. I need a Hyrule field to run around in, rather than a small floating island.

      If I'm going to be honest, Skyward Sword link may be my least favorite but does not mean I don't like him, I still love him. He was the first hylian to stand up to demise and he shows a lot of anger. I feel like the other links had more emotion in othwr ways if that makes sense. For example, the hero of time is very traumatic and shows in very subtle ways.

    Skyward Sword is probably my favorite Zelda title behind Majora's Mask.

They are so expressive and emotive, it's hard not to feel for them throughout the game.

    I’m gonna be honest, the motion controls are what made it fun for me. I played the original when I was small, but was stuck on the island the whole time cause someone had started it but I didn’t know how to make a new save, so I ended up having 90 hours of wandering. But, about 9 months ago I was able to try the HD version (my sister got it for her birthday, since she’s big into Zelda. I am as well, but I don’t really like video games much). But, since she had it and it was nostalgic, I tried it. And actually, I really, _really_ liked it. I usually hate games since I’m terrible with remembering what does what and combos and such. But with the motion controls, I actually played better than her for once, since I could use my own body and not have to translate. Sure, recalibrating was a tad annoying, but it took like, a second at most and it was fixed. I never did finish it, since she played it in front of my cause she obsessive plays games to completion, but I will one day :>

      My top 3 Zelda games are:
      1. Ocarina of Time (mainly for the 3DS version which has (in my opinion) great graphics for a 2011 game), the soundtrack, the dungeons and the characters)
      2. Twilight Princess (for the atmosphere, the soundtrack, the character designs)
      3. Skyward Sword (the artstyle, the character design and the soundtrack)

The new one has only improvements.

    I played both! I never finished the wii version because I got my first game over on the second imprisoned fight, and I was so intimidated that I put down the game. By the time I picked it back up, I had to start over to refresh myself with the controls. Fast forward to a month before totk came out and I played the HD version! Both are fantastic, though I did enjoy the precision of the button controls and the portability of the HD version.

      Yeah the HD version has a bunch of improvements. Hard to beat portability. I commend you for giving the wii version a go 👍

    I played on both. I never finished the original, but I did on the Switch. I loved flicking that stick to swing my sword. I'd like to see that again. Maybe not the entire game, but do a 1st person mode where you can swing the sword at different angles.
    Ooh, new puzzles and battles in the middle of your Tears 2 playthrough!😮

      If Nintendo can get a first person mode to work within the game where you can do the flicking, could be really cool 👍

    Skyward sword is probably my 2nd favorite game unlike some people I enjoyed the notion controls and found the world to be interesting also enjoy the level like layout the game had

    What I've noticed is that a player's attitude towards the game is strongly correlated with how well the motion controls worked for them.
    In my case, I had a brand new MotionPlus controller and it was a BLAST. I was free to appreciate the lush visuals and really tight design. Some of my younger siblings, though, tried to play it later, after the MotionPlus had been through some abuse, and they REALLY struggled to get into it. They've got HD on the Switch, now, and love it because they don't have to wrestle with the controls.

      Yeah that's a good point. I think a bad or faulty Wii remote definitely can impact someone's experience. Glad your siblings got the Switch version and can enjoy it fully.

    Skyward sword will always be my favorite LoZ game. It was the first one I played, as well as the first game I actually got invested in

      @gamenerdlegacy After that, I played Twilight Princess, but I don't think I've ever finished that one. Those were the only two I played for a while because my family only had a wii lol
