It's time to admit Skyward Sword was vastly overhated and is actually a really good game.
No
>>747583386No it's not. SS will never have a successful critical reevaluation the way WW and TP did. It doesn't even feel like a Zelda game. It feels like a Disney movie.It has a few good dungeons, but Nintendo must have been smoking something good when they came up with the idea of Link riding a fucking bird as the game's gimmick.
It is overhated but probably not to the extent you're thinking.Waggling filtered a lot of people but the game still has some pretty notable flaws.
>>747583386Skyward Sword drinks Snoop Dogg's doggy dick.
>>747583386It wasn't hated enough. Zelda 2 is a good game if you're a master. SS isn't good even if you're a baby.
>>747583386I like it
>>747583386it still had walk off the ledge to autojump as a gameplay mechanic, fuck this retarded game
I think its better than TP and WW, but we're currently still on TP's apology tour. it'll be a few more years before there are enough skyward sword apologists to restart the cycle.
>>747583386lol no
>>747583791You were the kid who got bullied in school for liking things everyone else hated. You probably had a Thomas the Tank Engine backpack which you rolled on wheels because you didn't have the physical strength to carry it on your back.
>>747583925Dude if that anon had that backpack then he's really really cool, I'm gonna introduce him to my cousin so they can get together, she liks cool dudes like him!
It's overhated but it's definitely not underrated, it underutilizes basically everything that makes it unique. It's very definitely a Fujibayashi game since virtually the entire item lineup is pulled from Oracles and Minish Cap. Dungeons have great theming, bosses have horrible designs.
>>747583386No amount of Zelda cycle will save how atrocious Skyward Sword's gameplay and map design was, let alone how the story damaged the franchise as a whole by solidifying a timeline that didn't need to exist while completely putting aside the legend of the creator gods and the Triforce to shill Hylia to no end.
>>747583386The controls were ganky and trash. The game was linear and re-used multiple boss fights. If you think that's good. You do you.
>most linear, railroaded 3D Zelda>heavily recycles locations and enemies>revisiting the same 3 locations 3 times; can't pick shit up early or tell NPCs until plot demands a visit>sky is absolutely empty>significantly less sidequests, Batreaux's have to be done one by one in order>can't fly at night>land below the clouds is completely segmented, tons of loading screens and requires going to and from the sky repeatedly>crafting is worthless for most items>bow's internal gyroscope aiming is objectively worse than TP's IR pointer>another time travel plot done worse than OoT>game tries REALLY hard to establish itself as the first in the timeline to the detriment of lore and characters>1:1 swordplay results in enemies awkwardly pacing in front of you, slowly adjusting their weapons in one of the specific angles you can slice at; enemy gauntlets feel tedious and slow as a resultSS has some solid dungeons and nothing more.
>>747583925>You probably had a Thomas the Tank Engine backpack which you rolled on wheels because you didn't have the physical strength to carry it on your backThat sounds really cool, you're one jealous bitch lmao
>>747584532You think these backpacks are cool? Having this backpack automatically makes you lame.
>>747583925That's a lot to unload on somebody, do you need to talk to someone?
>Switch version removes all the wonky motion controls>game is still fundamentally flawed because some retard thought it would be a good idea to just do Ocarina's 3 child dungeons over and over again with the only thing breaking the monotony being 3 fights against one of the most retarded boss designs in video game history
>>747584851The motion control swordplay will always baffle me, there's very little it accomplishes that couldn't have been done by just having Ocarina's swordplay again. Thrust, overhead chop, horizontal chop, spin attack, add the Skyward Strike sword beams.
>>747584673>bitches about a kid's backpack with wheels>immediately change goalposts and posts an adult travel backpackInsecure much?
>>747584970Because it was at the peak of the wagglan generation and in paper it sounded like a very inmersive idea, until everyone found out that it made literally every single enemy encounter into a wagglan puzzle.
i'm a big SS fan
>>747583386Still the worst Zelda game.
>>747584109>>747584008>>747584494The best thing this game did was inspire someone to make Outer Wilds as a response.
>>747583386Naw it was shit
