Skyward Sword was the worst Zelda I have played. We need to talk about this.

[Juma009]

Strange how the good ol' "Nintendo vs Sony"argument found it's way to a Skyward Sword thread.

Back to the game, It was a day one purchase to me and I have played it over 120 hours, so I'd like to believe I know a thing or two about the game AND the series considering I have played and finished every Zelda game released on a Nintendo console.

Positives.
1) The storyline was great, The best storyline in a Zelda game so far In my opinion, we finally got good cutscenes and they didnt over do it either, It was easier this time to feel attached to Zelda her being your best friend and all, also this story showed us the origin of Link and the hero of time. Props on that!

2) Controls were amazing, I absolutely loved flying the bettle with my Wii mote, rolling bombs and flying around Skyloft, never felt like a gimmick to me.

3) The puzzles were the best in the series, lets be honest, the good ol' lighting the torch to open the door and the abused concept of block moving are somewhat gone, (except for the few times when you got to push blocks) They got very clever, to me the Laynaru Mining facility was absolutely wonderful.

Now my negatives.

1) The Overworld is gone!, I for one loved traveling from one end of the world map to another being it on horseback or boat or train even flying, I loved exploring and finding easter eggs on the least expected places, Why do I have to go back to Skyloft, and then jump off my bird just to go from the Forest to the Dessert?

2) Nintendo got lazy!!! instead of making us go baclk to all 3 areas after being at the Temple of time, why could we not get NEW areas????

3)Game was SERIOUSLY TOO EASY, enemies were defeated either by proper use of controller or just going by the easy hack n slash. the Boos fights were the easiest in the series, I dont think I used more than 2 bottled potions.

Either way, I noticed how Nintendo used this game to test fan reaction on concepts they are trying to use when it comes to moving Zelda to a new direction, I hope they bring the over world map back but I guess this will make the game more "player friendly". the cutscenes, the reduced sizes in all areas, Overall Skyward Sword is a terrific game and the best Wii game to me, but definitely not the Best Zelda.
