Skyward Sword is not bad. It's a great game and doesn't deserve to be bashed like this.

How can you play a game that good and in all seriousness think it's bad? Like how is this even possible? I don't get it. It baffles me. Seriously, there is not a single game that got generally good or great reception that I consider bad. Most people like it and find it at least good, so it is good. Otherwise most people wouldn't like it. It's just illogical to believe a so highly polished game with so good level design, enemy variety and design, so well written characters and dialogue, such a well structured and well written story as well as so creative and inventive items and puzzles and so many ideas with, if you like motion controls, sometimes annoying but mostly extremely fun combat and so much detail in the beautiful environments with such a great artstyle.

Skyward Sword can be just not your thing. I for example didn't really like the first Little Nightmares, but I still see a really good game there, because it shows quality in it's mechanics, atmosphere and level design.

But to ligitimately think that Skyward Sword is a bad game, as if it was unplayable, had bad writing, boring and uninspired invironments and dungeons. No, that's not the case. That's why it got 93 on Metacritic, because most people think it's really good.

Same with Super Mario Sunshine. Some people hate it just because it's so different from SM64 or because they don't like fludd. But it's still a great game (92 on Metacritic btw). Phantom Hourglass also constantly gets hate for one aspect, the Temple of the Oceanking. But that doesn't change that it's generally a very good game (90 on Metacritic).

Point is, your way of thinking is so outlandish for me, that I can't understand it at all. You could start claiming microtransactions are consumer friendly and I would understand that standpoint better.

Also to say "we deserve better", is very entitled. The anouncement made me happy and it's exactly what I wanted. If I hadn't gotten what I wanted I wouldn't go and start claiming that what we are getting is bad and nobody wants it because I don't want it.

Actually I don't just deserve better, I deserve much better. Do you know why? Because It was people like me that came out in  droves to buy Breath of the Wild and a brand new System, day one, once we found out the game would finally go back to its roots and, we made it the best SELLING   Zelda game of all time by far, with a very good chance to beat the sales of all other 3D Zeldas combined. 

You have all the right in the world to like Skyward Sword, but to a very big chunk of the people who bought and loved Breath of the Wild, Skyward Sword is an aberration of a Zelda game.

Correction made. Lol. I meant to say, “we made it the best SELLING  Zelda of all time”.  Of course I didn’t make it the best Zelda game, Nintendo did.  Lol!  

I'm older Zelda gamer.

I loved Legend of Zelda, I loved Legend of Zelda II, I liked A link to the Past.

When Ocarina arrived, despite the changes, apart from the Water Temple, I found it an incredible game.

My surprise was that the designer responsible for the same water temple would now be the producer for my favorite series.
I saw that he liked to make wooden dolls and that he had never finished The Legend of Zelda and that he liked to be mowing grass in A Link to the Past.

Ok. Then Majora Mask came out, some things already bothered me and the series, in my opinion, only got worse until Skyward Sword. The concept of open world, exploration and dangerous world that existed in the first games was lost to give way to a game where the focus was on puzzles and everything kind of referred to puzzles.

Then I discovered that Aonuma was a huge fan of The Adventures of Lolo and that he was turning the series into a big puzzle and Lolo esque game. I left the series until I stopped playing at Skyward Sword. At BotW I went back to playing and admiring the series because it rescues those elements of exploration, danger and combat that the old games were known as a mix of action and rpg.

And it seems that it was a considerable amount that preferred it to Aonuma Style.
