Featured SS Thread: Living Up to Expectations

When a new Zelda game was announced for the Nintendo Wii, fans were swept off their feet all around. When it was mentioned that Wii Motion+ would come into play, many people were anticipating the 1-on-1 swordplay and new mechanics that would be introduced into the game from this huge change. To date, many people have said that Skyward Sword has surpassed the long-lived Ocarina of Time on the scale of excellence, but there are also people who say differently. Did Skyward Sword live up to the hype that was expressed far throughout the Zelda community? Were you disappointed by some aspects of the game that you thought would blow you away?

I have to say that Skyward Sword went above and beyond what I expected. I have always been a diehard Ocarina of Time fan, so I did not expect Skyward Sword to really come close to what I felt about Ocarina of Time. After having played the game so much and being absolutely enthralled with it for hours on end, I have to say that Skyward Sword comes extremely close to – if not surpasses – Ocarina of Time. Skyward Sword got me involved, and I loved the new controls to death. Puzzles were mind-engaging and the game itself provided the challenge that I felt was absent throughout many of the games in the past. There is no doubt in my mind that Skyward Sword was a definite success, bringing me one of the best Zelda experiences I have ever had.
