I am playing through this game right now and I am realizing it's really good when you're not fighting the controls. This is seeming like a Starfox Zero situtation where Nintendo delivered a good game with innovative controls, and it filtered people. I am considering raising it in my ranking for the series. What are your thoughts about the game? do you think it better than Ocarina of Time? I am seeing that this is a game that could be recommended to people as their entry way into this franchise.
>>737583045i've never had problems with the controls. Im starting to think i have a high iq or most "people" are retards, i doubt their wiimotes were faulty
>>737584232the only real issue i ever had with the controls were with the stab always took multiple tries to get it to work
>>737583045I never had a problem with the Wii-mote. I read how to resynch once, and did it frequently afterwards. I love Skyward Sword, be it on Wii or Switch.
>>737583045Sex with Fi.
Tadtones were fun, fuck everyone who shits on it. Swimming around a flooded forest like something out of a dream, if it were an optional side quest it would be considered one of the most soulful parts of the game.
>>737583045I only played the Switch version. I honestly thought it was really good. Also, Groose is easily one of the best characters in the franchise.
>>737584232>most "people" are retardsusually this
>>737583045steelbooks are such a meme
>>737585698For some really I thought his name was Goose. He's been growing on me as well.
>>737586079They can be really cool, though I wish it wasn't part of a bonus and I could pick it up from a store.
>>737583045This and ALBW was the last time Zelda truly had soul before the open world meme started.
SSWii is the only Zelda game I hate and SSHD is almost top 5 for me. It's amazing what controls that work can do for a game.
>>737583045I liked it more than WW, TP, and TotK.
>>737586542I disagree, I find the Botw era Zelda games to have the most soul of the franchise. What the previous games have going for it are more set pieces though. My dream is for the next game to not only be open world, but to be far more cinematic as well.
>>737586789To be fair, WW is garbage. It's shocking how much it doesn't work. I've written up how I would redesign all the 3D Zelda games, and WW by far has the most ground up changes in it.
>>737583045The controls were good and I'm tired of pretending they weren't. The directional sword mechanics were neat and loftwing flying felt great, you genuinely had more control than would've been possible with the tiny range of motion on a thumbstick. My working theory is that most people who complained about SS's controls never played it. They played TP on the wii and assumed that SS was more of the same. Nintendos greatest fumble in the 2000's was not finding a way to launch the wii with motionplus capabilities. The history of waggle vidya might have been very different if they hadn't been so stingy.
>>737587064Just curious, could you elaborate on what makes WW bad? I haven't played it since the HD remake came out so my memory is foggy.
>>737587000>I find the Botw era Zelda games to have the most soul of the franchise.And you're retarded for thinking so and nobody that considers themselves a Zelda fan should take whatever you say seriously.
>>737587000>I disagree, I find the Botw era Zelda games to have the most soul of the franchise.They are entirely without soul, personality or identity. TOTK in particular is just a loosely "designed" world with the developer tools turned on. Holy shit anon you might be retarded.
>>737587403Where to start. The game is called Wind Waker, that's the name of the music item that is used to control the sailing that you do for a large part of the game. When Nintendo remastered it, they implemented the swift sail. Not only does this cut the time spent sailing in half, it also supplants the Wind Waker of its use in sailing too. So we're looking at a flawed concept from inception, if a remaster decides to start gutting core features, and it's portrayed as a positive.You spend a lot of time sailing, pirate themed, so collecting treasure has a big focus right? every chest you pull up is pretty much guaranteed to be rupees. This game introduced massive size wallets to hold thousands of rupees, which is a large step up from the 500 rupees in the previous games. So you're expected to collect a lot of rupees, they are a uniform treasure, you get them sailing, you get them in dungeons, in towns, all over, and they contribute to your collected funds. In the original the point of this was to use them to translate the triforce charts, the second to last progression of the game before going to the final boss. So this is pretty much Wind Waker's best use case of non-linear progression, you find progress to be made all over the game world. The remaster reduces how many rupees would be required in half, and also doubles the amount of rupees that can be carried in each tier of wallet.I could go on and on about this game, but it's clearly a game at odds with itself, and poorly executes everything. The remaster guts features and fans of the game tend to praise it for doing so. It's clear that even among fans, nobody really likes Wind Waker. They like the facsimile of it instead. Have you ever heard anyone talk about how much they love sailing around and exploring islands? that should be a bigger aspect of the game I imagine.
>>737588018>They are entirely without soul, personality or identity.That's obnoxiously crazy.>>737587624>considers themselves a Zelda fanGet ahold of yourself, you self proclaimed Zelda fans gather around the same couple games, and treat the oldest ones with scorn and consternation.
>>737588282Retard BotWtranny.
>>737588282>That's obnoxiously crazy.That literally doesn't mean anything.
>>737583045How does that work on the Switch? I really loved the Motion Controls in the Wii.Also is it true that the Goddess Sword really got cloned in the end of Skyward Sword’s time travel? I heard it appears in TOTK
>>737588728The Goddess Sword didn't even exist anymore by that point. How are you going to clone it? Dumb BotW secondary.
Zelda fans are the worst thing that happened to this franchise
>>737588865>Waaaah let me inHow about no faggot.
>>737585575Pretty sure half its reputation comes from the Wii version where the swimming controls are ass.
>>737583045The Dark Souls II of 3D Zelda games
>>737588728It looks like a water painting, and you can use motion controls or the analog stick to do stuff.
>>737586079They are but the default spines of Switch game cases are incredibly ugly, somehow surpassing PAL PS2 spines
