Cant wait for the moment when critics and people realize this is actually a good game, is gonna be a hit in the face to all the people with big mouths that have been saying for months that this would be an horrible aberration and a complete disaster.

This is the case for most nintendo games. Just watch Paper Mario Color Splash getting high scores.

Remember how Skyward Sword got perfect scores most places, but most non fanboy Zelda players didn't like it much?  The majority of reviews for "AAA" published games can't really be trusted.

If you dismiss any fans who actually agree with the critics, of course they're going to look wrong XD.

Well I wouldn't include anyone who can see it's flaws and still enjoy it.  I'm talking about the the closed mided "Nintendo is always right and good" types.

Ok then.  What kind of research did you do to find that most people whoenjoyed the game were the "Nintendo is always right and good" types?

Didn't relize I was conducting research buy I'll play along.  

Your question answers itself.  Diehards like anything their from their chosen fandom.

If you were making claims, I assumed you had some sort of information to back that up.  You apparently do not.  And your answer does not in any way address the question.

There aren't exactly surveys or questionares with confident responses of what you're asking for, it makes no sense to try and answer it.  What I can say is, from the people I've seen talk about SS(friends, forum members, commenters on reviews) that like the Zelda series and can critically think without someone telling them how they should feel, most of them don't like SS.

Well that's funny because every Zelda "diehard fanboy" I've ever seen loves A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask - some of them even The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. And they ALL loathe Skyward Sword.

I feel like most people who actually liked Skyward Sword are smart, sensible people who can enjoy a game for what it is and not judge it based on their stupid expectations of what it's not.

Sounds like you're talking about the general Zelda fan and not a diehard.  Because a diehard likes all those games you named and thinks they are all flawless/think their flaws aren't that bad.  Most people who like SS are apologists to it's god awful linearity and redundancy.

And your sample is completely non-random, there is no way you have spoken to enough people to get an accurate picture, etc etc.  So using this as some sort of proof that reviewers are wrong is silly, and all your comments are basically meaningless.  You can say you disagree with the critics, but anything beyond that is nonsense.
