I've only played Skyward Sword, but I think that's enough to judge the whole series.

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

That's a very hasty and unfortunate mistake to make, because Skyward Sword is nowhere near the potential of the Legend of Zelda series. The hardware for the Wii Motion Plus is buggy, forcing you to recalibrate every few minutes, the potential of the sky world is mostly wasted as all the action occurs on the surface, a lot of the level design is interesting but there are just so many problems plaguing the game.

I really enjoyed Skyward Sword, and I don't remember having to constantly recalibrate. I thought the controls worked rather well.

Trolling at its finest.


mfw you consider this "Fine trolling"
Clearly I was serious.

Because sarcasm works over the internet without italics, right?
Oh no I broke the rules Internet police come get me.

No, you're just acting like a retarded ass hole.

Those Skyward Strikes or whatever were a pain. You have to be really precise with the controller and I found myself constantly recalibrating the damn thing.

I think it's clear that I'm simply a better swordsman than the rest of you.

Or maybe I'm misremembering.

I have never got into the series myself, the little tid bits I played did not interest me. Although a lot of people like it, I'm not to sure myself OP.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

so brave...

Posted by: HylebosI appreciate your response. I think I'll give the series another chance. As I've said, I wasn't a Nintendo kid growing up so I never really got to experience the Zelda series. I'm really curious about these games and what makes them so revered.

I'll just stay as far away from the Wii ones as possible.

Honestly, I had a strong distaste for Skyward Sword myself. It felt incredibly stale at this point since the Legend of Zelda series hasn't tried altering their formula since its inception and still is merely trying to recreate Ocarina of Time.

Some parts were cool, but most of the game was bland and I agree that the lack of voice, the slow UI, the reuse of both areas and items, just feels bad at this point. Windwaker was an awesome Zelda game because it threw the series out of its element. Twilight only had one good moment to me and that was the ice dungeon since it felt so far removed from everything else, almost like a separate story.

I'm hopeful that with the next iteration and the game being in HD, that it'll respark my love of the franchise. But, I'm not holding my breathe. The only positives of Skyward were the soundtrack and some elements of the story and I still can't say I loved the sound solely because I think they should have started using a full symphony orchestra a long time ago.

No thought required, just spawn and GOOOOOOOOOOO


0/10, but I'm actually going to be constructive. For reference, I own and have played EVERY zelda title on their original consoles.

Controls
The controls are silly, but they actually offered something new, instead of just mashing A, you actually have to find the enemies weakness, which mixes up combat. The controls have always been perfectly responsive for me, so I assume people who have a problem with that just swing the wiimote too fast.

Voice Acting
Voice Acting in JRPGs is a bad thing. JRPGs just are NOT meant to have voice acting. It halts the game to a crawl, and overall just waters down the whole fantasy aspect. Keep in mind that in Zelda lore, nobody actually speaks english. They speak "old Hylian" and "New Hylian" depending on what game you play. Putting in voice acting wouldn't make sense, because language barriers are actually a part of some of the games.

Plot makes no sense
It made perfect sense to me, actually. It was an origin story... and it answered a LOT of questions people have had for the past 25 years... I really don't have anything constructive to say other than "No you're actually wrong."


Villan is androgynous
This comes with it being a JRPG. American protagonists all look identical. At least Ghirahim has character and a proper look to fit it. I played and own most of the Final Fantasy games too... he doesn't really resemble ANYONE from Final Fantasy except MAYBE Kefka from FFVI for the SNES.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

I haven't played Skyward Sword yet because I have no batteries to play with my Wii. My second favorite is TP though. The ice level was my favorite especially since you got to ride a snowboard down a mountain.

Personally I actually do think the entire series sucks. Not a fan.

No, I definitely had problems with the skyward strikes as well, and eventually no matter how I waggled my wiimote my sword would get stuck in a corner or off to the side or something. Very inconsistant, very frustrating.

Yeah well. You!

What don't you like about it?

Did you have the motion control plus wiimote?
