Overall, this is the best experience I've had playing a Zelda game since Ocarina of Time and I'd have to say they are pretty equal in my opinion. Either way, you won't be disappointed getting this game, it's a masterpiece.
Every moment is a joy. As Skyward Sword progresses, each new area or item feels like The Legend of Zelda shedding some of the trappings of its past. It never veers too wildly from its time-honoured formula, but in every sense this is the freshest, most contemporary Zelda game in over a decade. An ingenious collaboration of design and motion control, the only shame is that it's taken the Wii so long to come to such fruition.
One of the greatest stories ever found in a video game. Gameplay is genuinely delightful. Have you ever wanted to wield a sword against monsters, well you can have that feeling in your living room. I spent day after day standing in front of the TV in swordsman stance swinging my wii remote and saving the world without tiring. Play this game. You won't regret it.
A huge departure for Zelda and a proper arrival for motion controls. Link's latest is rule-breaking, dream-weaving, tech-loving, heart-soaring stuff. [Dec 2011, p.45]
My new favorite 3D Zelda title, beating out Majora's Mask and Wind Waker by a substantial margin. It would be hard to go back to any of those games now. All of the gameplay innovations, emotionally involving moments, beautiful little details, and purely blissful experiences in this game have me completely and utterly spoiled.
Stripped bare of accessories, its all-business approach will thrill some and frustrate others. Less whimsical and more weighty, it proves that clever level design and tight gameplay trump all, and perhaps most importantly, that motion gaming can truly be for everyone.
Spellbinding, dramatic and absolutely epic in both the world it paints and the story it tells, Zelda: Skyward Sword is a hugely important event for the Wii, for Nintendo, and for anyone with even a passing love for the venerable series it celebrates.
After finishing the game, I can say that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was not what I expected. I thought it would be a good (but not great) practitioner of the Zelda formula hampered by unnecessary motion controls, much like Twilight Princess was. Instead, I got a game that's cripplingly hamstrung by its controls and even falters when presenting the basic Zelda recipe.
Un bon zelda qui ne m'a pas marqué. Il commence bien la saga, BO parfaite, très bonne DA aussi. Des personnages attachants. Un gameplay original qui fait plaisir mais vite lassant, on est assez peu libre. Les combats contre la creature avec les orteils sont horriblement chiants. Boss Final incroyablement epic 10/10 ce combat.
I don't care about the motion controls or Fi or anything petty like that. We can praise the game for its visuals, unique story, or amazing soundtrack, but at its core, Skyward Sword is a game that is tedious and hand-holdy. Zelda is a series founded on exploration, and I'm not just saying that because I've recently 100% completed Breath of the Wild. In fact Skyward Sword does everything right that Breath of the Wild may have missed. However, that comes at the cost of doing everything wrong that Breath of the Wild did right. Even the older and more linear games that people are so fond of still gave you a sense of adventure. And it's absolutely baffling that such a wonderful new open world in the sky is the most restrictive the game has ever been. The game's boss battles and side quests feel like padding. There should be no reason why I should be required to fight the same boss over and over! There is not enough variety in the game to warrant doing that! And because of the motion control gimmick thrown in there, the enemies now take really long to defeat, which feels like an artificial level of challenge. The game discourages you from using your abilities to its fullest and puts you into a box. If Zelda wanted to throw away its gameplay for the sake of its story like any old JRPG, then whatever, but the game's story is not nearly strong enough to do that. This entire game is repetition, hand-holding, and padding, and it may have even been a decent game if they had cut that out!
Me lo acabo de terminar. La historia es bastante buena aunque típica pero bueno la he disfrutado. El juego es entretenido aunque algunas zonas se repiten para alargarlo artificialmente, pero por los controles no le puedo dar más de un 4, es de los peores juegos que he jugado en toda mi vida respecto a controles y camara y eso lastran completamente el juego, tanto que a veces te dan ganas de tirar el mando y claro te acuerdas de la madre del creador.
