Alrighty everyone, the game is finally out in all primary regions.... IDreamofHime was the first to receive their copy here on the boards. This is the place to discuss it!!!
Welcome to the thread on Negative World where all wondrous Zelda talk can occur. I would recommend that if you wanna talk about deeper-game stuff as we get going, perhaps spoiler-tag it and then describe outside of spoilers where in the game it is. The recent Super Mario 3D Land Discussion Thread is a good example. That'll allow people who aren't too far to read the thread without actually spoiling stuff for them. Just try to be courteous but definitely have fun with the game and discussions!!
Have ye what it takes?
Be sure to hit up the Skyward Sword Game Page and add the game to your collection once you've received yours. Be sure to mark it as "Playing" while you work on it and after you're played it sufficiently, give it a score you deem fitting!
Whoever gave this game a 10/10 and said it was perfect/the best Zelda has been smoking CRACK.
But anyone who says this game is awful is smoking just as much crack.
TP is still better so far, and from what I've noticed and other people bitching about collectathons, I think it'll stay that way. But it shits on MM and WW so anyone complaining about SS yet praises those two are also smoking crack.
That's not a bad point. I don't know exactly what throws my "tedium toggle" other than to say that the switch definitely requires different amounts of pressure in different genres/series/games.
No, you are both filthy smokers. TP had pacing issues in the wrong half of the game (first half), and SS's fast Link shows how bad the wolf really is. SS is the best.
Eh, I'd still say Skyward Sword is overall a better game than Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. I mean, I can rage about just as many things in those games.
The series, overall, hasn't been what it used to since it was put in the hands of Aonuma... I still don't understand what this guy did to inherit one of the most important franchises in gaming, but I think it's a mistake.
That statement about Miyamoto "personally handling" Zelda on Wii U has given me some hope, but not much. He has said similar things in the past. He really should, though. The Mario team knows exactly what they are doing, but the Zelda team needs some love and attention.
@Hinph I agree with your comment about Aonuma. When one analyzes the Zelda franchise and compares it to other Nintendo franchises it becomes clear. The series started to degrade, taking steps both forward and backward since the guy was put in charge. I think he was first hired to design the dungeons in OoT and because of that the interns fell in love with him or something.
Ocarina > MM > TP > SS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TWW
Fact.
Should be interesting to see if these fetch-quest segments are just as brutal on my second playthrough. I'm getting close to the "Between 3rd and 4th Dungeon Bore-a-Thon" again...
