I loved Skyward Sword.
When the game was in full swing I found it enjoyable. The only boring parts, for me, where introductions to pretty much anything. The game, a new area, a new plot point. They dragged on and on what with Fi and her interruptions and the excessively drawn out cutscenes
Linearity is also a stupid complaint. People complain that there are only 3 places to go while Ocarina of Time is a "vast overworld with tons of areas!". Out of all of the games to use as an example, you use Ocarina of Time? Ocarina of Time is most certainly smaller than Skyward Sword. Ocarina of Time is just Hyrule Field and a bunch of dungeons. At least use Twilight Princess as an example (which is, mind you, still fairly small). If you look at every Zelda game aside from Skyward Sword, there's one thing they have in common- aside from the hub (Hyrule Field, Great Sea, etc), the world is TINY. Gerudo Desert, Death Mountain, Zora's Domain, etc. These are tiny places, even in Twilight Princess. In Skyward Sword, they are HUGE in comparison. And it's not like when you go back you revisit the same old same old. No, you go to an expanded area, different than the original spot.
Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, and Twilight Princess were all forcing you to do something in a certain order. I see how Skyward Sword is similar in this respect, but then it isn't something that brings the game down comparatively speaking, is it? Because it's been like that for long enough now that it's expected. Sure, it'd be nice for it to go back to how it was- and that is a fairly legitimate complaint- but at the same time you can't expect something out of the game when the previous ones in the series didn't have it (except maybe something that's just modernization, like voice acting, which should have been in SS imo, in fact, it should have been in Wind Waker or at least Twilight Princess).
Yes, I agree, I'm just saying people are complaining about it as if it's something new, when it's not.
I'm referring to the completely ridiculous complaints by people who loved every game BUT Skyward Sword. The exaggeration and the absolute despising of a game for pretty poor reasons. There are faults, sure. There are faults in every game. But sometimes the complaints I see seem absolutely asinine.
your OPINION is not a FACT.
Oh, of course. Skyward Sword or any game being the worst, even the dreaded CD-Is is nothing more than an opinion. Some games can just be bad like the CD-I entries were -- broken controls and basically a totally incohesive experience -- but what's best to me isn't best to you and vice versa. This applies to SS, OoT, TP, any game of the Zelda series and any game at large.
I'll trust you, that you're not being sarcastic, and if you really aren't :THANK YOU
I'm not being sarcastic in the slightest. I think Skyward Sword is a truly crappy game, that it's dirt -- no, worse than dirt. I also think Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, OoT moreso, are the cornerstones of Zelda, alongside LoZ and ALttP. But hey guess what! That's only my opinion. I don't dictate how others think about SS, OoT, MM or the Zelda series at large! You can think exactly the way you wish, no matter how you may wish. So long as you aren't telling me to think like you, I'm ok with how you feel (oh, and provided that it doesn't hurt others). Free will! Power to the people!
