The opening hours of Skyward Sword will leave you breathless. Its opening act provides the type of virtual world that only gaming can realize, plus adds the greatest motion-controlled scheme ever devised for a videogame.

Well said friend it only gets better!

That opening was so beautiful I actually felt emotionally moved as I heard Zelda sing the song. Seriously... wait till you try out playing the harp. It will blow your mind.

EvilTwin4563d ago

The opening is what kinda surprised me. I've read other reviews that have talked about the plot being paper thin, but I think it works for what it is. It certainly hooked me early on (by virtue of sheer genuineness).

I finished the game...Didn't upgrade anything. No shield used ( even though you do get one for free).
I just had to know where the plot would lead. Screw the town.

I have to say ...It explains the background of the legend. But it never explained all the extra stuff they threw in =(

Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her

Inverno109d ago

Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.

Directionless Modern Zelda Should Return to its 3D Roots

Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before

As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.

Eidolon139d ago (Edited 139d ago )

BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..

anast139d ago

I wouldn't worry too much. Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Ristul139d ago

Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.

I like it would also be cool if some created Dragon Caesar in the game I would love to watch the two going at it.
