What Would You Rate Skyward's Uniqueness of Areas

Very interesting, I understand very one has different opinons and you've made some solid points in which we can agree on but I do feel that certain aspects of the Zelda series are icons which makes it famous thus being popular but they could of introduced more provinces and kept the ones they already had.

The only reason I gave it a 6 is because a few dungeons were highly unique/unusual/downright abnormal. Even though I disliked Lanyru, it was actually the most interesting area in the game.

I chose 8 because of the Flooded Faron Woods and Sandsea.

Very good points, they were very unusual varities of the basic lands which were a surprise.

As far as uniqueness goes, I'm going to give the areas a 10/10 rating. I noticed while playing Skyward Sword that Zelda has never seen the style that the provinces were designed to be (at least in 3D). Nintendo promised that each area was going to be very different from what we've played through before, and they were right on that. The entire Surface looked like a huge puzzle, filled with varying levels of high or low grounds rather than the typical flat but vast overworlds. This brought on entirely new challenges of ways to reach different area or find a desired target (such as a Kikwi or Piece of Heart).

The biggest similarity I noticed is the log rolling in the Faron Province. It was previously used in Wind Waker, during the sequence of going through that obstacle course before meeting up with Tetra for the first time. Even though it's a very short scene and takes five minutes, it's the most comparable incident I can come up with. Which means that Skyward Sword's overworld is indeed rife in its diversity.

Everyonw has different thoughts on the matter, that why I put a poll, lets just let majority decide whether the areas were any good.
