I would agree. Well, I'd say it's tied with OOT for best story but yeah... LoZ is obviously not built around its story like the Xeno series.

OOT also have great story, also other 3D Zelda games have interesting and good story, but in SS emotions between Link and Zelda are strongest by far.


Agreed. To many Zelda games don't even hint at any romantic interest. Glad to see one finally had the balls to. And the art direction was terrific. Not just lazy generic anime style.

Art style was ok, positive different, but Zelda U art style for me looks like perfect for Zelda game and best Zelda art style by far till now, I also consider OOT art style phenomenal for 1998.

First fully 3d rendered open world game, at least for consoles.

OK great story. I think SS have best story in 3D Zelda series, emotions between Link and Zelda are very strong in this game and I really enjoyed. I hope Nintendo will expand this emotions in Zelda U.


Skyward Sword had a terrible story. Even OoT's was better. What it had was great presentation marred by a lack of VA.

I've never understood the fixation with story in Zelda games. None of them are great. None. Of. Them. Wind Waker's is the strongest from a narrative perspective, and compared to any real work of literature, it's nothing. I don't understand how anyone who reads who reads books, watches movies, or has seen an aclaimed television series can claim with a straight face that something like OoT has even a remotely "good" story. 

OoT's story is less than mediocre. MM's story is mediocre. WW's story is alright. TPs story is poorly written. SSs story is fanfiction-bad, and commits the agregious sin of also fucking up time travel. The 2D Zelda's aren't even worth mentioning.

I prefer Skyward Sword, but even I gotta admit Xenoblade is better

Like I said, I really love Skyward Sword story because very strong emotion between Link and Zelda. I want more of that in Zelda U.

Cool, but I highly doubt you'll finish it in 24 days.
