... And so i gave Skyward Sword a second try, but...

[SvennoJ]

It was a very mediocre game. I gave it 3 tries.

First I got bored after the first dungeon, disappointed with the empty overwold.
Picked it back up a month later and played it until after the third dungeon when it made me backtrack and repeat the first dungeon.
Picked it up 3 months later again after reading it was supposed to get better. Well the sand sea part was great but the rest was still very tedious. I finally gave up at the 2nd and 3rd Thunderhead battle. I couldn't take the slow text, unskippable cutscenes, annoying fi, rigid boss battle that let me simply fall through thunderhead if it was the 'wrong' time in his animation cycle, control/camera issues, all leading to running out of time and the battle restarting from the very beginning with the slow text again. It simply wasn't fun.

The art direction was fine. I can't remember any of the music so I guess it wasn't great, but also not grating. The swordplay was annoying. Maybe the wiimote doesn't like me. 1 or 2 out of 4 slashes it interpreted me wrong and did the opposite. Maybe interpreting a back swing as the actual swing. Very annoying when half the battles expect you to hit from the correct side.
The overworld was too empty, hardly anything to explore / discover.
The amount of content recycling and lack of variety was the worst part of all.

Worst Zelda imo and the only one I did not finish.
My favorite Zelda's are Windwaker and OOT.
