What's Your Opinion on Upgrades?

[RubenCrapton]

I liked the upgrades. Getting new equipment is wicked satisfying. I think my favorite was getting the gilded sword in MM

The bow was upgradable. But I would have liked an upgrade where your stamina bar increases allowing you to be able to run longer.

Oooooh. I had never thought of upgrading the Stamina bar. Awesome thought.

More upgrade options would have been better. But what they had was very well done.

I love it. It provides a sense of reward for going out and collecting things and what not, and is a major upgrade (no pun intended) from the treasure systems in the DS titles. More could have been done with it, but, as with many things in SS, I don't really mind. I'm glad that they put it in there so they could get feedback on it and improve it in the future. I'd rather have a little bit of something that can grow later on than too much of something that winds up being over the developers' heads.

Actually, the Stamina Gauge was slowly upgraded by getting more Heart Containers.

I loved the upgrading system except in my first few playthroughs it was annoying to find out I was say a Tumbleweed short of the final upgrade for the bow (which would be the Sacred Bow) and would have to make one journey to Lanayru Desert just to get one Tumbleweed. So now I try to get as many as I can as and when the story tells me to go there. (I think of all the upgrades it's this upgrade that asks for the most of a particular treasure: it needs five Tumbleweeds.)

But my favourite upgrade is the Scattershot; you don't have to aim perfectly as you do before the upgrade when you could fire only one seed.

I thought the upgrades were awesome. I made the game perfect because even if I wasn't doing anything, I could still look for stuff that I needed to upgrade my equipment.

They had so many upgrades. Some were good and some were pointless. I didnt get a couple of items fully upgraded because they were pointless!!!

i loved the upgrade system and would love to see it in later zelda games

 

[goomboo]

I liked it but it would be cool more like Monster Hunter where you can take different paths.

 

[theoathtoorder]

I loved it! I think they should include that in the next Zelda game. Along with the stamina meter. Gondo is pretty cool too

 

[Hallnavy]

It was one of the best additions to Skyward Sword. It needs to be added to the next game for sure!! It needs to be even more expanded though.

 

[RawMeals]

I don't mind it. I like doing any other extra stuff.
It makes me feel the game is longer and thats always great

 

[De_krumpel]

i missed the great fairy's , it looked like skyloft was this super advanced civilization with hardly any magic.
maybe technology went back in time as soon as people lived under clouds again.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

i think the upgrades in Skyward Sword are a welcomed edition that add a new spin to having weapons.

 

[Sir Duke]

I loved it, especially seeing as SS was only the first game to include it. Yes, improvements could have been made, but I still enjoyed it.

I like the upgrading system in terms of a new sword, shield or slingshot to bow. I really don't care for upgrading dungeon items, like Skyward Sword had. My favorite though was the Magical Boomerang in A Link to the Past.
