The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Wii / Nintendo / 2011
A special congratulations to AshKetchum1992 for the amazing guess.

I can't possibly think of a videogame that has ever come even close to making me feel like this one did. A lot of people hate this game for certain reasons, and sometimes I can even understand that - unlike a few others below on my list, this is a flawed game and it does fail to deliver some things people expect from titles in this franchise. But they never really stood out as problems for me. Instead, I accepted and understood the game for what it was, and what came out of it was easily the most memorable experience I've had in gaming.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword made me feel immersed and engaged with a videogame world and story unlike anything else I've ever played. The gameplay with the motion controls was extremely fun, creative and precise while also allowing for a lot of immersion and it truly made me feel inside the game; the story was extremely well written and from start to finish - it was absolutely perfect and made me feel extremely passionate about every character on the cast; and the level design, particularly the dungeons, was absolutely amazing and easily the best I've seen in Zelda yet. Most bosses in the game are also very good (with Koloktos standing out as the best boss battle in the franchise), the soundtrack is incredible, the graphics are very pretty especially considering it's a Wii game, and the amount of content is huge.

There's really nothing I can complain about with this game. Through it's extremely fun gameplay, very engaging story and great characters, immersive motion controls, fantastic music, great looking visuals, a ridiculous amount of stuff to do that never gets boring or old... it has it all. Skyward Sword is absolute perfection in my eyes, and I am very skeptical about it ever leaving this spot as my favorite game ever. I can't praise it high enough.

Ah, another person with Zelda: OoT as number... wait a minute, is that a typo? That's not OoT!

*pleasant shock*

Probably should be have tiebreakers...

Good luck with tallying it all up anyways.

401-498 is a bit crowded with ties, but for the most part the next 400 are tie free. It just gets messy around the 500 mark, which is why I stopped there.

And yeah, this'll take some time. @_@

Thanks Outlaw. ^_^

Also, I'm done with accepting lists starting tonight. It's time to move on and get this party started!

I appreciate you holding up for me. I wanted to do something special for my list and ended up just spitting out that.

It's happening. Thanks for all the hard work Smeags



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I have finished compiling all the lists. 128 in total. (~50 more than last year!)

No more lists will be accepted. Time to move on with the project!

1,284 unique games have been voted for. Top game earned 68 votes.



Thanks Outlaw. ^_^

9. Nier (PS3) - The most or second most memorable gaming experience for me. Would be highly if not for the technical issues. Truly an impactful game and it has the best OST of all time.

8. Lost Odyssey (X360) - Much like Vesperia, I was skeptical at first. This game blew me away and it's truly one of the hallmark JRPGs. I still will take time to listen to the OST right next to Nier's.

7. Final Fantasy IV (DS) - Just about everything you could ask for in an FF and the redone environments and characters were lovely on the DS.

6. Persona 3 FES (PS2) - My 3rd favorite cast of characters in any game with gameplay that would literally get lost in. Seriously, first day I ended up playing until I blacked at 5am.

5. Valkyria Chronicles (PS3) - I was leading the VGC hype train for Valkyria and it did not disappoint. It was extremely polished, beautifully animated and orchestrated, and was innovative. A breath of fresh air in the SRPG genre.

4. Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II (Cube) - One of my fondest memories are 4 player local coop with this game. It had enormous amount of depth, content, and it tried a lot of new things.

3. Earthbound (SNES) - Another blast from my past. So much creativity and imagination. I still get laughs at all of the quirks that make this such a unique game.

2. Final Fantasy X (PS2) - It's second only to one. Can't wait to continue on in HD remaster.

1. Final Fantasy IX (PS1) - Long live the king! I've replayed this relatively recently and it's still everything I remembered. Can't wait for a remaster or remake.
