Do you think Nintendo's proud of this game in hindsight?
Did you enjoy it?
Unironically my favorite Zelda title. The hate for it always baffled me.
It had the best 3D dungeons and I liked how revisiting the ground world almost always unlocked a new or remixed area to explore.
If they had done something about that barren sky world, added more enemy types, ditched the stupid-ass harp and had a Fi on/off toggle, it would have been GOTY.
I love it. Probably in the top 3 of my Zelda favorites.
I have trouble understanding the hate for it as well, was probably the most solid title for the Wii.
>>342419518
It's a good game. The biggest flaw was that the final product didn't line up with the prerelease talk about it. They made it sound like you could fly around Hyrule, but you could only fly around the featurless cloudscape.
The open world of the new game may be just as shocking, when players realize that winning the game still involves following the planned quest.
It's a good game, but shit compared to other Zeldas.
It's too linear, and the low resolution did it no justice.
also fuck it for killing all my Wii controllers.
>>342420536
Every game after Ocarina receives immediate scorn when released. It takes years for everyone to admit they love it.
Just a chore to play through honestly.
Everything about this game was sublime, except for the actual gameplay, hence why I never finished it.
it had some really good dungeons and some pretty good combat mechanics. too bad literally EVERYTHING ELSE about the game sucked, including anything having to do with motion-controls that was NOT the main sword/combat mechanic. seriously, how in the hell did TP/wii have better wiimote aiming than this...
It had my favourite story of all the zelda games. I loved the ancient take on old hyrule, all the other species and all the ruins. How the ocean became a sand sea. I also liked how it gave ganondorf a backstory how he's a reincarnated spirit of the demon demise. Cool art, the sky island concept was cool. Literally a 10/10 game for me.
>>342419518
Still hate it as much as I did the first time I played it
I hope Breath of the Wild adds another alternate love interest like SS did.
>>342422279
Peatrice was literally my favorite part of ss
>>342419518
Its so bad that I don't think I'll have any hope for a console zelda ever again. Somehow the handheld ones turn out ok though. Still don't really understand how that works
>>342422279
OOT Link had a new girl in every corner of the map.
>>342419518
I hope they bring over the market place. A ton of shops with stuff that's worth it is always nice.
I enjoyed it, but I don't like motion controls.
They weren't hard or off like a lot of people claimed, just awkward.
Other than that, a pretty okay game
>>342419518
I enjoy it, but I prefer MM.
>>342419518
I really hated it cause of the motion controls. It had it moment with some boss fights, but that about it.
It also had the worst Zelda
>>342419518
I enjoyed it the first time.
Too much hand holding, but I still liked it.

>>342419518
I had plenty of fun with it and i liked it, irecognise that it has flaws though. That said, in one thing Skyward Sword stands above all the other ones in the franchise, and that is the fact that it is the only one where you actually care about saving Zelda
>>342420621
Damn imagine flying around BotW's landscape with the Loftwing instead of just riding Epona
>>342423762
Just like how much it improved Xenoblade Chronicles and MMOs.
It didn't.
>>342420887
>>342419518
I liked the return of the sword beam.
Holy fuck the Zelda cycle is real.I always loved this game
>>342423440
Malon a fucking shit.
>>342423519
>boss demotion
As in, the boss becomes a regular enemy later?
>>342424313
Malon is the fucking best, fuck you and your shit taste.
>>342419518
I enjoyed it. I liked the atmosphere, the music, the story, and the new characters and also didn't hate the motion controls as much as most people. That being said, I enjoy almost all of the 3D Zelda games so you can't say I'm a Zelda Cycler for liking it either.
Never understood all the butt blasting about motion controls, swordplay was pretty much fine, and using the remote and nunchuk to fire an arrow was fun.
>>342420536
Same here
>>342424476
>Says I have shit taste
>Waifus the girl that hangs around horses and barns all day and thus smells like shit
I fucking loved the game. Anyone that says the motion controls didn't work is reaching for an easy, yet untrue, target.
>>342425337
>he doesn't like the smell of farms
>he doesn't know what bathing is
this fucking guy
>>342419518
>Did you enjoy it?
Yes. It's my favourite Zelda game.
>>342419518
I enjoyed the shit out of it. yeah there are definitely shit parts to it, the game isn't perfect at all. But I think its much better than the majority of people give it credit for.
I'm seriously surprised to see a mostly positive thread about this game. While it's not my favorite Zelda and was a disappointment in some ways, I still had a great time with it.
>>342425624
There are no bathrooms in Malon's house or in the barn. There's nowhere for her to bathe. She lives in the middle of a huge field with a river far away from her.
She smells like shit, deal with it.
>>342419518
Save for the motion controls [spoilers]and the imprisoned battles[/spoilers] I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It was enjoyable but it was different. At the end of the day I'd rather play the other 4 3d zelda games.
>>342425910There's no bathroom anywhere in OOT, it's easier to just pretend it's off in a sideroom Link didn't bother going in
>>342425910
>far away
it's like a 5 minute walk.
>>342426325
It takes less time than that for it to become nighttime, at which point Stalchildren will come out and attack you. Malon would be dead quickly since she doesn't have anything to defend herself and can't play the Sun's Song.
>>342423440
>mfw I just realized MM is link's dying mind, and maron is the child version of malon he couldn't protect from the "aliens" molesting her (her dad and uncle)
>>342426558That's a really shitty fanfiction
Good dungeons, fun side quests, overall weighed down by an empty ass world. there only being one town sucked, final boss and ending were incredibly underwhelming.
I didn't mind the motion controls, but I totally get why it would bother other people. My cousin couldn't play the game at all because of them, carpal tunnel.
>>342419518
The boss in the water/light&dark dungeon was great.
I think I'll always have that memory of picking up his giant fuckin cleaver, two handing the wiimote, and going to town on his ass.
Other than that nothing really stood out.
>>342426737
sorry. it's true.
MM was dark.
>>342427641
No it's not.It's a good theory
But it's not.
nah it sucked then and it sucks now. it will always suck. its a shit game
I liked it from the start. I actually enjoyed the waggle (especially compared to the waggle found in TP), but I admit the game was far from perfect.
Having to retread the same areas and do that mandatory collect shit while you avoid stuff minigame wasn't great, but at least LaNayru desert was interesting enough to visit twice.
Also Fi was a pretty terrible companion and worse than Navi in terms of obnoxiousness. Funny how they tried to pull a feels moment right before you sealed her away permanently only for it to fall completely flat.
>>342419518
Played it in 2014, loved it. It nails that sense of 'Legend' better than any other game in the series, imo.
>>342425910
>back when I had a going into games machine...
>>342426558
>>342427641
matpat pls
>>342421054
This. The art style and the dungeons were great, but playing it is fucking tedious and irritating.
>>342429421
Hey, it's just a theory...
It made me realize I don't have to play through mediocre/bad games just because the game is called Zelda.
>>342419518
The motion controls crippled the entire game for me, first zelda game I've ever stopped halfway through
>>342424476
Cremia is betterRomani is the best though
>>342431197All three are best.

Overworld was lame though, I'll give you that, and the 'tears' sidequests were just boring as shit. I think that it started out strong, plateaued some, and came roaring back strong.

Look at you. You can't even shitpost properly. Poor thing.

I liked the music.

>>342425759
Don't be surprised. Most of the simpletons here would rather follow the herd than maintain a real, justifiable opinion about anything. That's what the Zelda cycle is: ignorant contrarianism.
>>342433843
Ayy yo muh shitty animoo weeaboo game
>>342430997
Not for this reason, but same here. I've never stopped halfway through a legend of zelda game till Skyward's Sword. It wasn't the controls, I actually enjoyed them but there was just something about it that made me drop it for months randomly. I didn't pick it back up till I lost internet for a while and had literally nothing else to do.
>>342419518
The only part of the game I disliked was the fucking clown.
>>342419518
I actually really loved the sword fighting.
>>342419518
Easily one of my favorite 3D Zelda's, sad that /v/ doesn't like it.
>>342434383
Just a tip next time man this is a Skyward Sword thread and not a Breath of the Wild thread. You'll get there someday.
>>342419518
I really liked it.
although controversial, I liked the introduction of the stamina meter which has carried on to the next title
The tear segments went from agonizingly boring in TP to actually pretty tense segments that I looked forward to every time
The dungeons seemed pretty interesting although they got pretty basic and boring at times
And the artstyle is nice, even though it certainly isn't a technical feat by any means. I enjoyed the watercolor effect
It's just that the stopping in the action with Fi, the dowsing shit, Fi again, getting an item that opens your menu, searching for koros/tadtones etc brought everything down a lot
Still love the game

>find item
>game popup explains item
>fi shows up
>"I see you have an *item*"
>gives same fucking explanation on how to use it
seriously fuck this character. Fi was like all the bad things about Navi times 1000
>>342420887
It took years for people to like Adventure of Link, too.
Someday I'm gonna have to go play Spirit Tracks, Ages & Seasons, Minish Cap, and ALBW. I think I stopped about 1/2 of the way through ALBW for some reason.
pacing was shit but i thought the core gameplay was really really good.
>>342435353
>It took years for people to like Adventure of Link, too.
No it didn't.
>>342423762
I am now going to be sad that SS's Skyloft isn't reachable from BotW's Hyrule.
you think anyone'll ever mod the game to tone Fi down?
>>342435608
Skyloft may have landed, but BotW DOES have some kinda floating island in the sky.
>>342419518
by far worst fucking Zelda game ever played boring and too empty even though thats the point but fucccck dude.
>>342419518
I'm certain that anyone is proud of a long work like making a video game.
But I don't think they are as proud of it. And probably regret it after all the backlash and the fact that they even said they took in to a lot of consideration the flaws pointed out about that game. And the new Zelda is proving to go the complete opposite direction.
>>342425759
this is because all the children are asleep. everyone left up knows how things can be flawed but still have merits
I haven't played a Zelda game since OoT. I tried Majora's Mask but as soon as I saw there was a time limit I stopped playing and lost interest in the series. Looking forward to BotW though, looks great.
>>342435735
None of the games imply that Skyloft has landed.
>>342419518
Sure.
No, playing it on dolphin so far and the waggling is annoying the shit out of me.
Maybe if i used a real wiimote that i have lying around, but damn i'm gonna have fi tell me over and over that "my batteries will run out" no thanks.
Decided i'll play SPM instead until I can find a way to play it better.
>>342435810
do you actually understand how the "time limit" works? It's more complicated and interesting than a time limit to 100% the game, and it isn't a burden in any way.
>>342419518
I don't understand the hate for it here on /v/. It was great and the motion plus combat was really well done.
Going to leave this here.

>>342435946
Dude the game's made for the wii remote with the motion plus thing, of course it's going to be annoying simulating that on a keyboard. You're supposed to be using your wrist for this stuff.
>>342435985
I do, I just have no interest in playing it.
>>342436232
Your loss.
It's been pretty great so far
Koloktos has to be one of the bossfights in all videogames
>>342435296
Id still fuck her though
>>342436486
Be careful Anon, she's very sharp.
>>342436156
I'm using various controllers, none seem to feel right.
The only part i had to switch to keyboard was the loftwing segments. I don't have a xbox 360 on me, all Nintendo related i got are
>Gamecube controllers
>Wii u Pro
>Pokken controller
>Wiimote and i think nunchuck is in a bag somwhere
Funny thing that i actually got the hang of it on the GC then I lost the load data while switching to kb/m. So I said fuck it and stopped for now.
I suppose you'll tell me to bluetooth my wiimote and use batteries am i right?
>>342419518
the real problems with it is that it failed to address two very specific design flaws that TP had, the crappy pacing (especially in the beginning) and the abundance of unnecessary text. In fact, it managed to make those problems even worse, with a slower beginning and a partner character that would talk about everything all the time.
I wish it had come during the beginning of the wii's lifecycle, because in many factors it felt like a tech demo for the wiimote, and every single function was delegated to it (which is why we got whips and beetles instead of boomerangs, and the less than optimal flying and swimming, might possibly be the reason why the overworld was so rushed). It felt as if they just kept the base-game and trimmed the fat a bit for a sequel it would be the best zelda by far. The stamina wheel was a great substitute for rolling everywhere, and added some extra verticality to the levels, and the combat system, though controversial, tried to make the enemies themselves puzzles and it felt for the first time that they were more than a wall that wouldn't let you pass until you pressed B enough times. The potions being used in real time and the shields breaking felt like they were really onto something but the game itself never made those things a problem.
I'm sure BotW is going to blow it out of the water but I'll be one of those people sad for the lack of motion combat that Aonuma mentioned
>>342436848
If you really hate batteries, I'm sure there is probably a way to plug a wiimote into an electrical outlet.
Why did SS Zelda and SS Link never kiss in the game?
>>342436848
if you have a wii mote that has the motion-plus built in (or with the motion-plus attachment) obviously that's the way to go because that's what the game's designed for. It isn't rocket science, bud.
>>342437128
They are a bird culture. They rub beaks.
The bottom line is Eiji Anouma and Hidemaro Fujibayashi couldn't direct a decent Zelda game to save their lives.
Skyward Sword is absolute 110% proof positive that for the Zelda series to get back on track and "be all it can be" to borrow the old army slogan its going to need its original creators who understand it like no one else on this earth to re-unite and write and direct it, those creators of course being Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka, Miyamoto who was influenced in the series creation by the Tom Cruise movie "Legend" and his own childhood experiences and Mr. Tezuka being a fan of Tolkien and Lord Of The Rings as per his inspiration in the creation of the Zelda series.
Lastly the series perhaps even more than needing its two original creators to return needs one of its most talented writers to return that of course being Yoshiaki Koizumi who was on the writing team for both Link To The Past and Ocarina Of Time the two best games as of yet in the Zelda series.
Zelda must return to it's midieval sword and sorcery roots that are combined with a whimsical light hearted overall feel of heroism, destiny and high adventure for the series to once again thrive, ever since Eiji Anouma took it down the path of weirdness with the awful and inappropriate for the series Majora's Mask (which was a different game entirely that simply featured Link) the series has been sliding downhill straight into the gutter of mediocrity.
Nintendo simply needs to learn to create a compelling Hyrule again and stop with the gimmick ripoff worlds of Kevin Costner's Water World ala The Wind Waker, or the Star Wars Bespin/Avatar ripoff world of Skyloft and sit down and figure out how to make a huge world of Hyrule filled with things to do in it, a world which features plenty of trees, green grass, beautiful streams and lakes and plenty of hidden Zelda Hylian lore. As a Zelda fan I am interested in Hyrule's story NOT that of a gimmick world or an alternate weirdo world like
>>342436304

He was a really enjoyable boss fight until I realized the shield is massively OP.
Find a flaw.

In case you wanted to fuck Peatrice instead.
Majora's Mask's Termina but HYRULE.
To get to my review of this present game in the series...
Skyward Sword deceptively starts out strong, finally Link and Zelda are to have some depth added to their characters via the featuring of anything resembling an actual coherent story being put into place for once namely its a love story featuring the two beloved Zelda characters the kind of which fans have been begging the out of touch Nintendo company to create for years since the opportunity was quite clearly missed with Ocarina Of Time's story and ending.
Many fans of that game wanted to see Link and Zelda become romantically involved and even dare I say kiss eachother at it's ending.
Well that was a missed opportunity in a sea of Nintendo's missed opportunities due to Nintendo being so thoroughly arrogant, set in their ways and completely out of touch with their fanbase.
Anyway once Skyward Sword gets going you have to go rescue your bird known as a "Loftwing" from a pack of bullies and the overall beginning feel of the game due to it's highschool type of setting somewhat is reminiscent of Rockstar's game "Bully" though this being Nintendo and being yet another step back for the Zelda series down the kiddy route ala Wind Waker don't expect much juvenile hijinks or entertainment of the riske sort that would put a little spark into the otherwise dull school environment of Skyloft.
Such would remove the game's kiddy "E for everyone" rating and make it less palatable for the soccer moms, toddlers and the senior citizen set who comprise Nintendo's apparent chosen demographic for this game.
Collectibles- gold remote is nice and had a new grainy feel when I first began using it, as for the 25th anniversary Zelda symphony CD? *Gag* I thought the music orchestrated sounded like garbage.
Controls- horrible and in need of constant recalibration and re-centering though if you listen to the lies of
the Nintendo fanboy reviewers and Nintendo shills across the web the controls are put across as though they are god's gift to gaming.
*Blech!*
Bomb bowling is probably the worst and most wonky of the controls. Sword controls you can usually waggle your way to victory on just about every enemy save for the man eating plants so they're not a game breaker but their lack of cohesion is unsettling since Nintendo is widely claimed by it's fanbase to be the greatest gaming company of all time with the best controls and focus on quality of all gaming companies ever. Well perhaps they were at one time but if one is honest while playing this game one can see that Nintendo has quite clearly lost it's touch in this regard or at least with this particular game series of theirs.
The gadgets and system for utilizing them are probably the only bright spot here along with the Beetle which compared to the rest of the system seems to control near flawlessly.
Linearity- perhaps the single worst encompassing overall problem with this game is its linearity which is to say its point A to point B nature. Zelda games should be as non linear as possible like the very first entry in the series on the NES and to a lesser extent Ocarina Of Time. Zelda games should ideally be a total sandbox world that lets you take on whatever dungeon you want to finish first at any time and explore all areas in the world that you want at any time as they should all immediately be open for doing that. In Skyward Sword you have to open up each new area in fixed linear succession. This was really a huge step backwards for the Zelda series and puts it on par with other sub par shovelware games.
>>342437204
go to bed malstrom.
If you cannot respond to every major point presented in this video, you have no fucking right to defend Skyward Sword
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qAjK7wd5QE
>>342437208
We'll see how that bossfight goes
Graphics- a step back from Twilight Princess's more mature and dark style down the kiddy Disney route of Wind Waker (yet again) and aside from the game's art style the graphical quality is simply so poor in overrall quality when compared to titles in the same genre on superior consoles such as Skyrim you could almost believe you were playing an N64 game its so bad. The game has a very washed out look overall. That said at least Link and Zelda are dressed nicely for this one featuring perhaps Link's best pre-green tunic costume in a Zelda game to date.
Music- great in Skyloft and it's surrounding cloud island areas, and especially magnificent during the scene where you have to follow your guide "Fi" to retrieve the Goddess Sword but still overrall the music is ultimately very kiddy and Disney-esque which is a step back for the series akin to the abysmal Wind Waker offering.
The music in the three main worlds below the clouds is underwhelming to horrible especially in the volcano area and by horrible I mean simply inappropriate for the Zelda series, I can only describe the volcano area's music as goony stupid fratboy sounding music something that could've served well as the Grouse character's theme yet still not something you'd expect to or even want to hear in a game series that is supposed to be an epic midieval sword and sorcery adventure.
Game world- empty in the sky and constricted and boring down below the clouds, this is NOT Ocarina Of Time's Hyrule field that even though mostly empty itself still had far more charm and appeal than this game's three boring areas due to it's freedom and cohesiveness as one fixed and full land mass of game operating terrain for you to stomp over with your horse and explore till your heart's content. Skyward Sword's grass area by contrast simply feels boring, dull and constricting and the washed out graphics and ridiculous dumbed down kiddy yelping red colored enemies don't help matters either.
>>342437257
If Groose's identical great great grandson doesn't appear in the next Zelda game I'm not gonna buy it.

>>342419518
Was fun, I just hate motion controls.
>ctrl+f "Zelda cycle"
>3 results
Well that's refreshing. I honestly expected it to be most of the thread.
Boss Battles- amazing, probably among the very few good things about this overall underwelming Zelda game along with the Link and Zelda romance and a select few great music tracks.
Story- the Link and Zelda romance is great and long wished for by the fanbase but I don't appreciate Ganon not being in the game as it's final boss as I am a Zelda fan first and foremost and Ganon's story is intregal to the Zelda series in my opinion, I also don't appreciate Nintendo attempting to shove political correctness down my throat by featuring in Ganon's place an obvious flaming homosexual with a diamond in his ear named "Ghirahim" who confirms his particular alternative lifestyle by the suggestive grabbing of Link's "sword" during his boss battle and who sneaks up behind Link and waggles his tongue behind Link's ear in a very sexually suggestive manner for a game thats supposedly being marketed to everyone which means children as well as adults.
>>342437082
>>342437141
I have the mod for wii plus so i can just use a wiimote + nunchuck, how do I plug a wiimote into a EO?
>>342429029
Never 5get
Characters- utterly forgetabble save for Grouse who much like Ghirahim (the openly flaming homosexual boss character) is shoved down our collective throats in one ridiculously kiddy scene after the next. Though perhaps the most detestably kiddy thing about this game other than its watered down washed out cartoony graphics are the despicably kiddy mother and father characters from the Bizarre the shop of the game's main hub area of Skyloft. The mother makes a ridiculously stupid and annoying near constant hand clapping and yells out "hey yo!" so much you'd think she was a Scott Hall fan of professional wrestling fame and his group the "New World Order" and the father is holding a baby on his back and making stupid and annoying sounds which I can only describe as sounding like a dying turkey might sound. He does this I believe out of a desire to amuse the baby on his back that is probably crying in the first place due to his father's stupid attempt at calming him down along with his mother's idiotic sound effects. So overall the scene in the Bizarre alone undoubtably confirms this games overwhelmingly kiddy nature. Its almost more disgustingly contemptably kiddy than The Wind Waker due to this utter stupidity going on in the Bizarre.

Look up battery eliminators.
There is also the disturbingly disgusting aspect of she-male transgender characters being placed in the game and no I'm NOT joking here. The fortune teller has a grotesquely obese female body and is clearly a female but has a mustasche and the Pumpkin soup restaurant/bar owner appears to be dressed like a woman and has a woman's hairstyle but is also sporting a large mustache. Its thoroughly disgusting that Nintendo has rated this game E for everyone which means children can play it as well as adults when it features such strong political and social messages such as the approval of the homosexual lifestyle and transgender lifestyle choices. I wouldn't see the need to point this out to parents if this game were rated M for mature but it is not. Its rated E for everyone despite having these disturbing and seemingly politically motivated themes.
Enemies- most can be waggled through to victory, some can't, overall so-so, I'd prefer future Zelda games go darker with the enemies have more knights in armor to fight and do away with that idiotic piano music or whatever plays while you strike enemies that started with the awful Wind Waker title and carried over to Skyward Sword. Also Nintendo should get rid of the stupid cartoon purple smoke and lame explosion sound effect and either go the mature sword slashing creates blood from enemies route and clanking steel sound effects of sword on steel armor ala Bethesda's Skyrim or return to the sound effects of OOT and MM along with enemies simply evaporating and maybe leaving behind rupees and items as they did in those past games as well. The Wind Waker kiddyness and stupidity needs to be left behind for the Zelda series to progress and move forward. Also remove the stupid triangle among targeted enemies heads. Its unnecessary, kiddie and totally lame as is the accompanying sound effect. Try again Nintendo.
Overall score for this Zelda game in my view: 7.5
.
>>342436304
are you playing it with a real wiimote plus?
So its a semi-good game and worth at least one playthrough which is about all I think anyone will be able to stomach due to it's poor controls, boring feel, ugly eyesore washed out kiddie graphics and total linearity so feel free to rent or borrow this one if you're a casual gamer.
Hardcore Zelda fans will get this one regardless just to complete their Zelda library.
It is definitely NOT the best Zelda game ever made and certainly not an experience to rival or even top Ocarina Of Time, to borrow a quote of Obi Wan Kenobi "This is NOT the Zelda game you're looking for".
So indeed the Zelda series is sick and dying and only Shigeru Miyamoto, Takashi Tezuka and Yoshiaki Koizumi can save it.

>>342438843
hey dude i'm just talking in hyperbole no need to take it personally. i'm just explaining this shit to you and having fun along the way. bottom line is that the wiimote won't work unless it either has wiimote+ built in (it'll say it on the remote itself) or you have that attachment I linked. It's the best way to play the game so if you can do it that way I recommend it. But it's a free planet so do whatever you want.

>LINK WAS DEAD
No
That's not true, it's a stupid theory that falls apart the moment you actually research something about the game
I'm sad because Skyward Sword has the motion controls so ingrained into the game that if they were to remaster it, they would have to rework literally every single part of the game and end up with an entirely different game.
>>342440085
>map all motion shit to the right stick
>problem solved
the BIG BLACK muppet boss fights were fucking horrible.
the motion controls ranged from neat to nearly unplayable
the characters and story are kinda bland (minus goddamn groose and every scene with him)
the enviorments are neat for a zelda game
fi was very annoying
But when you fight the final boss andpoint your sword towards the sky and have it get hit by fucking LIGHTNINGis my second favorite final boss to ww ganon.

The gameplay is great, all items have more than 1 use and are used in several parts of the game rather than just the dungeon you get them in. Motion controls are great for swordfighting and you're punished for waggling, literally just wait for an opening and attack. Shield parrying is great and overall the combat has great depth to it.

It had cute waifus, decent "voice acting", and Skyloft looked nice. I liked the desert as well. But as a whole? No, SS is awful. I'm not even going to say it's a good game. It's a bad game, and an even worse Zelda game. I wouldn't give it above a 6/10.
>>342442335
The most incredible game ever forged by the hand of man or the gods that is Ocarina Of Time just became better.
When done right Zelda is not simply a videogame but akin to having a religious experience.
Well like its predecessor Link To The Past before it all it seems that Ocarina ever does is the right things to move the Zelda series forward.
If only Eiji Aonuma had never been born, then Zelda's progress would not of taken 200 steps back from this epic acheivement in gaming and human history that was and is The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time.
Didn't Aonuma say he deliberately made Breath of the Wild the way it is because he thought Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword were too handholdy and on rails which is the exact opposite of what Zelda is supposed to be?
>>342419518
>Do you think Nintendo's proud of this game in hindsight?
They shouldn't be.
>>342442723
He needs to give up on pleasing the fans and just make whatever game he thinks is good.
>>342442791
If you can manage to look past the ugly hideous vomit inducing graphics revealing how Aonuma utterly bastardized and deformed Link you'll have before you not simply the greatest betrayal of a fanbase in videogame history but also the easiest game you have ever played in your life.
Seriously Wand Wacker is so stupidly ridiculously easy it can be beaten in a single sitting.
I suppose thats why its titled "The Legend Of Celda: The Wand Wacker" as basically you can beat the game simply by mashing your controller buttons ie "wacking your wand" and since Aonuma practically included a "win" button for the game with that quick time event esque dodge button move its quite obvious that he wanted this sorry embarassment of a game to be so utterly over the top easy as to make extra certain we true Zelda fans had our intelligence as thoroughly insulted as possible.
Aonuma really hates Zelda and it's fans, that much is as clear as crystal, to anyone but the most die hard of Nintendo fanboy lobotomy patients.
Lets see what other dissapointments did this hack no talent Jimmy Fallon of Japan Eiji Aonuma include or rather NOT include in the game?
Oh THATS right!
Aonuma screwed over Wand Wacker's most dedicated damage controllists of the Nintendo fanboy collective that regularly pretend to love this game by not even bothering to finish it for them even after 10 WHOLE YEARS HE HAD TO DO SO HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAA!!!!!
Nope, sorry Wand Wacker fans.
Those 2-3 additional temples that were supposed to be in the original game? (no doubt filled to the brim with boring Aonuma puzzle gameplay and nonsensical LGBT homosexual, transgender and bi characters) Nowhere to be found.
See? Aonuma knows that as Nintendo fanboys you are a go along to get along spineless lot and will eat any swill he's willing to feed to you.
You don't get "better" because you don't "deserve" better because you won't stand up and "demand" better basically goes Aonuma and Nintendo's reasoning.

TP isn't bad though
>>342440986
>defending the fact you don't even get a sword to practice with until half-an-hour in
>>342443008
Aonuma knows this and reacts accordingly to all of you.
He reacts to you with disrespect and barely hidden contempt which you mistake (in your stupidity) as Japanese cultural quirkiness.
It is a well known adage that a Nintendo fanboy (or the Nintendo fanboy collective) will buy feces in a box and call it a Triple A game and their favorite game of all time so long as it has the Nintendo seal of approval or made by Nintendo label on the box so why should Eiji Aonuma the hack no talent Jimmy Fallon of Japan take busy time away from his hobby of creating wooden dolls to actually get to work and finish your Wand Wacker temples for you?
"Hahaha nonsense!
The fanboys will buy the game even if its unfinished"
*Aonuma san remarked to a bewildered Adam Sausageler, well respected game journalist of effeminate prissy Nintendo fanboy d-bags everywhere*
*Sausageler's only response to this was a knowing head tilt and awkward bow before hungrily leaving Aonuma-sensai to eat his dinner of skinned cat and dog's head soup in peace*
This game gets 1 star since Amazon's system unfortunately will not allow anything lower.
Inevitably I suppose the question might pop up "If you don't like this game why buy it?"
Well to answer that knowing how delusional and fanatical the Nintendo fanboy base is I'm quite certain that possessing a mint copy of the "Wand Wacker HD" might go for a hefty amount of money in the future. So perhaps I could put the game in mint condition up on Amazon in 20 years from now and maybe selling it to some Nintendo fanboy delusional would then help pay for my future son's college education? Its certainly possible considering the level of insanity of Nintendo's fanbase.
>>342440986
It's a legit criticism, though.
>>342443151
Secondly I guess its no threat to my principles to buy this awful game at this point considering how poorly it's re-release has sold ie headlines such as its "drowning in Japan" do make me smile. So I guess if I ever get tired of holding onto it in hopes some future Nintendo fanboy delusional will pay out huge money for a mint condition copy it can always be used as either a skeet shooting target or perhaps a drink coaster as some other reviewers have considered using it as.

TP isn't bad. Especially compared to SS. SS does everything TP did wrong and makes it worse. More linear. More gimmicks with motion controls. More stupid story that just gets in the way and isn't even that good to begin with. A fucking dumb focus on motion controls which forces every enemy to slow down combat and be less aggressive while you wait for them to reveal their weakspot and then hit them.

Skyward Sword was great, my only problems with are the handholding and not being able to fly at night.

The controls are fucking bullshit too, if only we could use the pro controller this game wouldnt be so ass.

Almost all of the Zelda games look like ass. Only WW and BotW look good.
>>342444445
>Try it on the wii now.
That's a resolution issue.I'm just running it at internal resolution 3200x2640 with no AA
Also the controls are fine, provided you either have a wii sensor bar, which you do on a fucking wii, or set up dolphin with a hybrid setup where you use the wii control for everything and set up the hide function for IR in the controller set for dolphin with something like !SPACE to recenter the controller, since it doesn't have 2 IR lights to do it automatically.
>>342444274
It really doesn't look very good. It looks muddled beyond belief, not like minimalism.
>>342445109
The fuck does the sensor bar matter? SS doesn't use it. It's all gyro and motionplus.
>>342445115
WW is minimalism with it's Cel shaded graphics.
SS is literally just an attempt at emulating Pointillism
>>342445208
For everything in game yes, it only requires you have a wii motion + enabled controller. The game however recenters the controller using the IR sensor as a reference on where the front center is. So on a wii the controller knows where the front is always, so if you point the controller forward while you have your sword out, the sword will point forward. However with no point of reference, the controller will lose it's "front" after some time, so having dolphin recenter is absolutely necessary.
I'm not sure if that's clear

The negatives of Skyward Sword are as follows
>Linear
>The game holds your hand and treats you like a baby with descriptions
>Some boss repeats
Ignoring that, Skyward Sword is by far the Zelda game with the best emotion and presentation
Also for the all the shit motion gets, the sword fighting was awesome.
Groose and Impa are impacting as characters, as well as Zelda herself, the mood of skyloft after she was taken was fucking depressing
Impa makes you feel like shit when you first meet her after defeating Spiderrock
Koloktos and the boss set ups were fucking great
It had flaws, sure, but it was fucking enjoyable as a Zelda experience

I just didn't like the backtracking and the enemy design. Everything else was great. Fucking Monsters, Inc. octopus boss and the design of the imprisoned (whatever turns into Demise) was absolute garbage. It's not even like the rest of the game was like that, those things were just out of place and they looked dumb as hell. The floating wind whale boss looked stupid too
>>342446792
>no warping
>first zelda without a fully interconnected world
>Sky has the least overworld content out of all zeldas
>NO FLYING AT NIGHT BECUASE WE SAID SO
These are the only valid complaints from your post. The scattershot has it's uses, but a bow is always going to be better than a fucking slingshot. In any case you get the bow pretty late into the game.
And Fi is delicious, even if she doesn't shut the fuck up
It's absolute shit. There are some parts that are pretty good, but the rest is so fucking dismal that every time someone brings up this game the only thing I can do is list all the things I hate about it.
>>342419518
Yes for the tight design, no for the relatively poor reception for not being what the market was asking for.
It says something about Zelda in general that some 7/10 reviews are considered a big misstep. I liked it for the motion controls but though it was too puzzle heavy. The new one will make it look better in the context of the series. I'm actually probably going to replay it soon. Skyloft is cozy as fuck. I just wish you got the bow sooner
>>342446186
>Linear
Every entry except 1986 and the first 3, 5 minute long dungeons in ALttP was linear. I'm not saying that's a good thing, but it was to be expected by 2011 surely.
>Game holds your hand and treats you like a baby
Zelda is made for babies. OoT was for babies, Wind Waker was for babies, SS was for babies. Every 3D Zelda spends an hour and a half explaining how to Z target and mash A/B.
>Some boss repeats
Unforgivable, especially when LoZ bosses are so shitty to begin with.
Shit series is shit. Thank you for reaffirming my position. Anyone excited for LoZ: Gimmick Edition for the...4th time can goenjoy their game I guess. Not to my taste, can't understand why'd you pay $60 to a company that hates your guts, but whatever floats your goat

The only way that this game can be stomached is if you play it in HD on Dolphin and use AR codes for:
-Infinite Stamina
-No Stamina/Air Meter
-Disable Dowsing Reminder
-No Dowsing Purple Border
-Disable Low Health, Shield, and Battery Warning
and you're golden.
Oh, and make it so that the items aren't all just used to press switches and you're golden.
Also, stop reusing each area three times and you're golden.
Oh wait, there are tons of shitty problems with Skyward Sword and it's a bad game.
>>342446792
>NO FLYING AT NIGHT BECUASE WE SAID SO
It's little details like this that really rub me the wrong way. Like, they bothered to make a nighttime Skyloft, the rest of the overworld is so fucking empty, why not???
They also bothered to make a night scene for the fire area but it's never used again.
The game as a result feels really small. It's already unbelievably linear, so that coupled with the smallness does not make a good adventure game (whether or not you want Zelda to be "open world").
>>342447186
Heh..nothing personnel, kid...
>>342447183
SS's handholding was very noticable even for """""for babies"""

but more importantly, item descriptions reset every fucking time you start playing the game

Is worst final boss fight a valid complaint? I mean, LoZ isn't exactly known for it's amazing fights or combat, but Demise is the laziest excuse for a final boss I've ever seen in any video game.WAGGLE
>>342447183
>Every entry except 1986 and the first 3, 5 minute long dungeons in ALttP was linear.
I'm not saying Zelda is the pinnacle of non-linear gameplay or anything, but this is patently false.
In OoT you can do the Water and Fire Temples in whatever order, and you can also do the Shadow and Spirit temples in whatever order. Actually, you can pretty much do the Forest Temple first, then do the rest in almost any order (and without the 'go into another dungeon and get the item' cheating trick, too).
Also, it's not that Skyward Sword is linear, it's that there's nothing to fucking do other than the main quest. And the areas before the dungeons aren't areas to explore, they're basically dungeons themselves.
>>342447183
>hates
Never attribute to hate what can be attributed to rampant insanity. I'm firmly convinced everyone who joins Nintendo and its various offshoots just loses their damn minds every so often.
When Nintendo fucking tries, they make fundamentally great games. They then proceed to lose track of the ball and start vomiting forth ideas about bloom and chibi spin offs and inexcusable reuse of areas for fetch quests. Not all of them are terribly bad ideas, but they tend to feel like their made in a vacuum where developers remained bizarrely unaware of what people thought of their games and what worked in the past.
I only really know of Zelda and Pokemon, but both have a habit of iterating slightly, Zelda more than Pokemon, each new game, only to also forget about great minor changes made in previous games.
>>342437208
>until I realized the shield is massively OP.
The shield is absurdly overpowered to an insane degree. Having trouble with any boss? Learn the parry window(Which is massive) and then just flick the Nunchuk. You will almost never get hit from that point on. You can kill Demise so fast due to this, it's basically just waggling the sword, having him retaliate, parrying him, then every three hits you parry and get another three hits. Then phase 2 starts and it's as simple as Skyward Strike to steal the lightning --> Parry as he dashes due to being pissed --> Slash with the lightning --> Repeat once more.
Hell, Ghirahim ends up being a harder boss than Demise just because you can't abuse the shield on him, you actually have to aim.
>>342447186
>>>>>You have the option to ask her "Am i late" when she's hurt
What does she say in response to that?
>all this love for a devastatingly mediocre game
Holy fuck. I mean, I don't think the game is the worst thing ever concieved, but come on.Maybe the newfags/Reddit have finally taken over.
>>342447648
I'd rather a game with nothing to offer fastrack me onto the main plot than give me the illusion of exploration with any empty overworld.
OoT has nothing to explore. Wind Waker has nothing to explore. Twilight Princess has nothing to explore.
Sure, they have relatively sizable open worlds, but what is there even in them? You have like 4 paths that are blocked until a specific point in the game, and there is maybe a heart piece you can find?
There aren't any cool enemies to fight, and the combat is garbage anyway. There aren't any real, worthwhile items to look for.
Spend 3 games looking to see if a company became not the laziest sack of shit in the industry, only to find the poor textured overworld once again has nothing in it.
Skyward Sword was a sack of shit, but at least it wasn't a large sack of shit.For the record, Breath of the Wild seems to be attempting at remedying this so I'll reserve judgement for it. Doesn't change the fact that 18 years of stagnation 4 """"remakes""" and 3 or so cash cows is acceptable or should be forgiven. Nintendo is the scum of the industry. Worse than EA

I thought it was aggressively mediocre overall, with a ridiculous tutorial (i.e: the entire game is a tutorial), and the good parts about it (dungeons, groose) are ruined by the god awful awkward controls.
Thats discounting the thousand other small irritating flaws that combine to make the game a chore at best. Couldn't even be bothered to finish it with Dolphin, let alone on console.
>>342448748
>god awful awkward controls.
The controls work, you're retarded
But the game itself is mediocre, that's true.
>>342449196
They are functional but uncomfortable, you are the retarded one.
>>342436304
It IS one of the bossfights in all videogames
one of MANY
Skyward sword is an odd one for me, I love it, but I hate it.
I enjoy it every time I play it, the motion controls never bothered me, but...all the little things pile up over time.
Fi slows things to a crawl, the stamina meter is awkard, the imprisoned fights and flying feel like a chore,
But it also has some of my favorite things on a zelda game ever, like the timeshift stone, the great characters, a fantastic crafting system, great art and character designs, a phenomenal ending sequence where you fight an army, beat the main antagonist and then are forced to fight the REAL final boss, demise
It's a fun game, but it could have been so much better, it had so much potential, if they ever do a remake and fix even half of these things I will be ecstatic

>>342449972
>That final Bokoblin run
There is nothing worse in the entire game than that on Hero mode. Nothing. Ended up just cheesing it on the boss rush with invincibility because I didn't want to deal with those awful blue ones that hit and run and are almost impossible to catch up to.
>>342449972
Not to mention the Sandship, or the Ancient Cistern, or koloktos fight, the entire lanayru area, that night sequence in eldin where you have to reacquire all your gear and play it stealthily, the fun new bomb mechanics like rolling or pocketing the bomb flowers
But then you also have dowsing, the never ending trials, the silent realms, the empty sky, backtracking to the first temple and so on
This game is so damn inconsistent and it didn't have to be

>>342450368
The shitty sky world probably ruined the game for me. When I think about it I enjoyed so much of it, but there was also so much of it that was a huge chore. If flying was actually fun at least I wouldn't loathe returning to the sky every single time but the game actually had a ton of very cool mechanics.

>>342450738
The cons outweight the pros massively.
Sucked that they reused the same 3 areas. It seemed like it suffered from the same problem as Wind Waker in that they did not have enough time to fully realise the world.
Being able to drop down below the clouds to a fleshed out landscape would have been awesome. It seemed like that's what they were going for with the Triforce hunt in WW too, you find the location on the sea charts then drop down below to Hyrule and explore to find it.

it's not the worst thing in the world but it's an embarrasingly bad oversight.

Heheh, I counted that in the endless trials, always having to prove you were worthy,
And the silent realms were a mixed bag, depending on the playthrough I either love them or despise them, usually the latter, but they could be very fun at times
But that kind of describes skyward sword as a whole, it can be amazingly fun, but it can also feel like such a chore to play, all at the same time.
The game needs to be remade and revamped

which is bizarre considering the game had supposedly been in-development for 3 years at release.
I love skyward sword, but holy shit does it need some polish to be a more accessible game

I enjoyed it and I never DIDN'T enjoy it. Yes its linear as fuck but that doesn't make it inherently bad. I had no problems with the controller either. The worst thing was that while I like the concept of Fi, she was way to fucking annoying with her % bull shit. It's like 75% = 100% LITERALLY EVERY FUCKING TIME. THIS IS NOT HOW YOU PERCENTAGE.
Fuck you /v/ now you got me worked up about it.
I don't think the problem was ever that it was a bad game. It was a fantastic game in fact, just a fantastic game with a lot of really unnecessarily shitty and annoying parts that bring it down.
Without Fi, without the horrible swimming controls and unnecessary fetch quests, and with a proper overworld, it would've been one of my faves. As it stands, I just like the dungeons, the rest of the game wasn't so great.

Nice picture of the imprisoned, anon
>people wanting to get rid of Fi
Fuck off, all she needs is to be toned down in the """"""HELP"""""" department and to have her lines reworked to be funnier for a robot isntead of just stupidly obvious and repetitive
>>342451401
People don't even know what linear means these days, let alone when to use it as a criticism.

I do loved the dungeons design, the weapons and the boss battles, specially the ancient cistern

The game itself is okay, just lacking.
>Some cool dungeons, but not enough of them/shitty ends to them
>nifty overworld in concept, but severly underutilized/uninhabited
>Some fun items (I love teh Beetle) but a lot of them do the same shit of hitting things from afar
>Really good characterization/main story, but it's too short and there's not enough side stories
But regardless of how disappointing it is, I will NEVER enjoy the game fully cause of fucking Fi.
I don't care how many people want to fuck her, she's an absolute waste of a character in a game with plenty of great character growth (zelda, groose, shop girl, etc.) and her chiming in is the worst of any zelda game
>walk into room
>See switch behind some bars with a locked door
>Fi full on stops you without prompting
>"Master, there's a nofuckingshit% chance that you'll need a key to get through this door"
>THIS IS IN THE LAST FUCKING DUNGEON
That shit is unforgivable.
