The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

I loved the Soundtracks, atmosphere, fights,... Everything. I don't know why people hate it so much.

I just got this game for Christmas, and I've only played up to the first dungeon. My first impressions are that the beginning starts out rather slow, but the pace quickens once you get near a dungeon. The art style is beautiful, with only a few bad textures and models. There is a background filter to make all background objects look like an actual painting. The music is a first for a Zelda game-it is finally played by an actual orchestra. Many of the themes are highly atmospheric or just plain epic, especially later tracks (I spoiled myself before I got this game). From what I've seen, the cutscenes are some of the best in the series. and are very cinematic, with all animations motion-captured with live actors. Facial animations are also amazing, and the end results are highly lifelike cutscenes. I highly recommend this game. Please note that you must have a Wii Remote Plus or the Wii MotionPlus add-on in order to play this game. This game only runs in widescreen 16:9.

As a Zelda fan this game is crap. Motion controls are crap. The gameplay is bad The dungeons are repetitive.

Released in 2011, this game really took the Zelda series to new heights-literally and figuratively. Set at the beginning of the Zelda timeline, it delves into the origins of the Master Sword and introduces us to a vibrant world divided between sky islands and the land below. The world design is beautiful, with charming art that combines cel-shading and a watercolor style, making every area feel like a living painting. What really stood out in Skyward Sword was the use of motion controls with the Wii. It was super immersive to swing my controller like a sword, and it added a fun layer to combat and puzzle-solving. Though, I will say, sometimes the motion controls were a bit finicky, leading to some accidental flails. The story and characters are delightful, especially with Fi, Link's spirit companion, who's both helpful and a little sassy! The narrative is engaging, with some great twists and emotional moments that elevate it beyond just a typical quest to save Zelda.

Surely the game might have its quirks (those motion controls can be a love-hate situation), but the enchanting world and captivating story make it a memorable experience.

I believe this games negative criticism to be absolutely unfair. If you simply either play it on the switch with the normal controllers or actually give the motion sensors a try, it's not as difficult as described and can be a very fun type of gameplay.

I've seen some people call it repetitive and I really don't understand how they can perceive it as such. How do u relate any of these dungeons with one another? The mechanics used are all far too different, the places and atmospheres are each unique and beautiful and the only repetitive boss fights are girahim and imprisoned. The only aspect of this game I dislike is imprisoned, and even he can be fondly remembered imo.

I simply disagree with these people tbh. Game is original, unique, beautiful and super fun.
