Skyward Sword is one of the most polarizing Zelda games. Some fans sound their horns in praise, while some are more critical. It's now a bit older, and any initial hype has worn down. Many people (myself included) have had a chance to play it twice. So what do you think of it?

 

Skyward Sword is overall a disappointment to me. It has my two all time favorite dungeons in a Zelda game, and some very cool sections, but the EXTREME padding, lack of exploration, hand holding, and back tracking ruin it for me.

 

So what is the VGcharters general opinion of the game?

This, also, I know I am in the minority when I say this, apart from one or two songs, I was disappointed by the soundtrack... To me it didn't sound like Zelda music, and it wasn't very memorable...  It is odd because this was the aspect of the game I was looking forward to the most after they announced that it would get the full orchestral treatment that Mario Galaxy series got... Now those were masterpieces.

It is a decent game overall, I like the artstyle and the story.  For a Nintendo game it has some pretty decent character development (Groose is one of my favourite characters).
Motion controls were both enjoyable and frustrating.  It was cool for one game but not something I would want to see again.
