The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

I dropped this game 4 times back in 2011, I couldn't resist the motion control style that this game based on, but now after HD version released they fixed the game by making the motion control optional, with 1080p and 60FPS I decided to back and give it a fifth chance.

Unlike Wind Waker, which had a large ocean and tons of islands to discover with cool secrets, this feels baron to travel across the sky. It's mostly empty in what you find, but goddess cubes on the surface unlock chests in the sky to make you want to look at them. Some chests have interesting ways to get to them, not to mention the emptiness soul that this game has, there's only ONE town in the whole game you can interact with!

Storywise, it's decent, but you're only getting snippets and then you're being padded out with boring bits.

One of the main issues I have is the pacing. This feels like a 25 hour game stretched to 50 hours, and is painfully slow in places. While there are some fun areas and dungeons, there are also plenty of monotonous areas and boring stuff (like fighting the same boss 3 times) that feels like a chore to complete.

There are some interesting dungeons with interesting mechanics, such as timestones. But other ones where bland and it just feels like you're doing it cause you have to proceed.

It may still appeal to Zelda fans, but they may end up stopping at a certain point and never returning (I really tried to love it, I really did). My recommendation is to avoid it if you don't like Zelda games. I still like the older games such as Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker and MM, which have better music and atmosphere and have more character.

it's indeed a good game, but a bad zelda game.

Everyone who hates on this needs to rot

I loved the graphic style once again,the battle system was interesting,the lore is an important piece for the entire saga.I did enjoy flying but you know it was a little bit empty.

fi? never heard of her

Not the best Zelda but really fun

Has only looked worse when compared to the games that have come after, too limited in scope gameplay wise, although the characters are some of the best in the series
