The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii)

[Ichnob]

Alright, before we derail the new Zelda Wii thread into generic Zelda discussion, is there anything else you guys wanna see in the game? Because some form of music has been in the previous 3D console releases besides MM, anyone else besides me expecting music to be somehow be integrated in as well? As for weapons, there'll probably be a boomerang, but I could see the beetle thing replacing it.

Two Words:

ONI LINK (or Fierce Deity Link) but that will never happen :(

[Darkstorm]

This is all YOUR opinion though.

I liked the Oracle games, what the hell is wrong with liking the DAMN ORACLE GAMES!?!?!?!?!

I am in no way using Epic Loosely.

Here comes the opinion train, right on schedule.

If you really think every zelda game qualifies under that banner, I guess we're done here.

Just for it to be fun. They shouldn't try to hard to follow any previous formats, like I kind of feel they did with TP. Wind Waker was deficient in quite a few areas, but the unadulterated fun I had playing large parts of it mean I still rate the game highly.

Whether it's a train, plane, bus, unicycle, rollerblade, or a friggin' piggy back ride....an opinion is an opinion.

You may not like controlling the seasons to get through puzzles, I did. You may not have liked the story and the boss battle in the end...I did. You may not have liked Capcom having a hand in the game development. I DID.

I really think that every Zelda game was epic in there own ways, yes. If that is a crooked way of thinking then so be it and then we are done.

[Hiroy]

Just play Link's Awakening again instead.

That way you actually get to play a great game.

I was doing so recently, but I ended up getting lost. I'll have to start it again sometime. It kinda sucked at some point I was filling out as much squares as I could on the map to find the next dungeon or item hint.

[Retsudo]

I played Link's Awakening on the computer.

Good stuff.

I'd like to see a nice amount of dungeons. About equal to OoT or LTTP. Or 8 or 10 sounds about right.

Personally another thing I always like is the new weapons. And this time I'd like to see the new weapons being useful OUTSIDE of the dungeon they're found in. That was my problem with the Spinner, Ball + Chain, the second grapple hook and the staff. Outside the dungeons we used them about once or twice.

I'd also like to see a return to the Fire Rod. I'm sure it's due a comeback.

So you are just an fanboy drone like you so vigorously denied a few pages back.

Anyway I only finished playing Phantom Hourglass fairly recently and I found that fairly unbearable. Endless oceans, endless central dungeon which was both aggrevating and difficult, very little immersion, aside from the aggrevating central dungeon everything was extremely easy because of massively oversimplified controls, boring dungeons. I've not played the Oracle games, Zelda 2 or Spirit Tracks but I'd rank this as my worst.

[Local-chan]

I remember loving the puzzle in PH that made you close the DS. It was pretty cool. I was expecting to see it again in Spirit Tracks and every game after.

WARNING! BEWARE OF OPINIONS!

The Oracle games honestly weren't that bad. They were fun and I had a good time.
Pretty much the point of video games, wouldn't you say?


Aonuma has yet to (majorly) disappointment me. Well, yeah, he did a few not-so-smart moves like the Ocean Temple in Phantom Hourglass, or the Wolf concept in Twilight Princess, but he's willing to take things in a unique direction. You can say he's just flaunting a bunch of gimmicks, but it's what gives the games a new taste and a new experience.

As long as Skyward Sword is very adventurous, I'll be thoroughly pleased. I want more effort put into the side missions and more interactivity in the towns.
The way I see it, Skyward Sword may heavily take place in Skypiea- Er, some sky towns, and I sure hope they weren't as drab as the one in Twilight Princess.

[JERK DISEASE]

The worst part of Twilight Princess was the town definitely.
We had one real town and it felt empty even with fifty hundred people in it.

Best town is still Clock Town of course.

[Retsudo]

Seriously what were they thinking with the Wolf Link thing in TP.

That was a dumb idea you'd see in Sonic rather than Zelda.

[JERK DISEASE]

We DID see it in Sonic.

[Retsudo]

I'm trying to erase that from my memories.

Back when I was following Sonic Unleashed I hoped the whole thing with the Werehog was just a sick joke by ST.

To my sorrow, it wasn't.

[CCC]

This is a correct opinion. I'm holding out for a real-life replica of Clock Town someday, somewhere in the world. I could visit it, and then I could die happily.

[Sage]

So you are just an fanboy drone like you so vigorously denied a few pages back.

No, no and no. Wtf is wrong with you?

Am I a Zelda fan? Yes, as i stated a page ago.

Am I a fanboy drone? Fuck you and no.

Obviously there is something wrong with liking every Zelda game.

Was every Zelda game flawless and perfect? Hell no.

Did I enjoy playing every Zelda game? Yes.

Was I ever mad at a Zelda game for stupid mechanics and boring quests? Yes.

Ridiculous.

[JERK DISEASE]

Call something mediocre you pussy.

[Sage]

Call something mediocre

Your life expectancy is mediocre.

you pussy.

Well...I am what I eat.

Crushed by the moon?

[JERK DISEASE]

Your life expectancy is mediocre.

What does that even mean.
