    Stay tuned for the next Randomizer Part, dropping next week on this channel! 👀
    Also before I get flamed by the TH-cam Comment Section, Let me just state my opinion about Skyward Sword here:
    It's a decent game. Story and Music is amazing, some of the dungeons have great game designs. There is a lot to like about Skyward Sword, and if you love this game more power to you, I wish I could see Skyward Sword out of your eyes LMAO
    I have also played the HD version and does think that the motion controls are much better there, sadly the Randomizer doesn't support that version. For me, I find that this game has a LOT of repetition, way too slow of an early game, bad stamina system, and the motion controls on the Wii Version does get better once you are used to them, but every now and then when they do fail, or when you need to re-calibrate the controller, it just feels frustrating because motions controls add in my opinion 0 value, and only the occasional frustration factor which takes me out of the enjoyment.
    Something else to keep in mind, I am playing this on an emulator, which is worse than it is on the Wii.
    I think people saying this game would only be good if it didn't have motion controls are wrong, you should give it another chance if that was the reason you didn't like it, it gets better with time trust me, and the HD version does it way better. I remember talking to Gymnast about the Motion Control (one of the best Skyward Sword Speedrunners in the world), and he told me this "I think Nintendo designed the motion controls around how they imagined that the most natural way would be to control the character and sword, so if your mentality and assumption matches how Nintendo envisioned it, you will have no issue with it. But for players that have a different perspective or play style in how things should control, it will cause frustration". And I 100% agree with that, I have completed Skyward Sword twice casually, the first time I really hated how the game controlled, but once I tried to control the game in a way that I felt the game "wanted me to", it went from "I HATE THIS" to "This is okay". That doesn't mean it doesn't frustrate me at times, and thankfully the HD version does allow me to swing the joycons in a more natural way for me, which is way better.
    Like I said, its a pretty decent game with ups and down. Not the worst Zelda Game, but also not the best one. Feel free to leave a comment letting me know what your experience was with the game.

    I think a big reason why people like this video game is because they know how to actually play the game. Like they know how to use motion controls and actually play the game the way it was intended. Meanwhile the complaints are people who just flick the remote and expect it to respond when the game explicitly tells you to swing the remote.

      I know right? Like all the people I know in my life that have actually played the game as intended, all think it is inarguably one of the best zelda games.
      The OST is insane, the dungeons are so inventive and well made, the art style is cartoony without being too kiddy. (also a really long zelda game)
      It's just a well rounded game, the only people I know that don't like it, don't read the literal opening warnings of every Wii game and refuse to not use it like a normal controller.

      If so many people have an issue with getting the motion controls to respond properly, do you really think that it's all just lazy assholes flicking the controller and then claiming it doesn't work? The controls worked great about 70% of the time for me, and the other 30% was battling with them. Compare that with a game with buttons only, where the controls work perfectly 100% of the time. People are going to get frustrated when the difficulty is coming from trying to find the swing that the motion controls want you to do, and then get even more frustrated when assholes insist "well I bet you're just LYING about your experience because you're too stupid to understand the instructions! couldn't possibly be a legitimate issue, you're just a liar"

      I like Skyward Sword but I feel it's just a little too long. Also, I wish there was more stuff to discover and explore in the sky. Like, small floating forts with a puzzle to solve or some kind of enemy challenge. Could you imagine how cool it would be if The Sky was like Wind Waker's Great Sea, with nearly every island was unique and had one or more things to do? Other than Skyloft and The Lumpy Pumpkin, most of the islands are only there to house Goddess Chests. Sure, there's a mini-game here and there and that's cool, but overall there's so little sense of exploration in comparison to any of the previous 3D Zelda's overworlds.

      Like I said, the game is bad I don't need to elaborate, fight me.
      But if you want honest reasons why:
      1. The introduction segment of this game goes on FAR too long and it takes ages until you actually get into the combat and dungeons. Barely any of it is plot relevant or character building too except the latter part where Zelda is snatched.
      2. Unskippable cutscenes. This was resolved on HD I hear, but my experience was with the game on release.
      3. A stamina system that impacts literally every form of movement including a damn boat. It just becomes restrictive and slows you down while exploring the land or sea, even Dark Souls 2 stamina is not this egregious.
      4. Fi. Absolutely everything about Fi. A bland boring personality that is a blatant attempt to replicate Midna with the similar speech and more humanoid appearance. However, she completely lacks Midna's personality, character motivations and actually having massive plot relevance like in TP.
      5. The dowsing rod as a concept wouldn't be bad for certain things but it is overused to drive the narrative. Much of the games "in-between" sections revolve around fetching something using it.
      6. Bow placement. By the time I get the bow ingame I barely get to use it much before the finale. I understand this was to try and make the slingshot more useful early on, but I honestly think it would have been simpler to just not have a slingshot.
      7. Block spamming by enemies is a bit of an issue. It definitely makes combat slightly more technical in theory to give enemies directional blocking when you have motion controls. However, as a result of this the simplest solution past their defense is simply spam swinging the remote into their side. If you choose to wait for an opening it causes some encounters to go on far too long.
      8. The entire narrative. Demise as an origin story for ganon and the continuous cycle of conflict just felt absolutely stale and had no build-up. Ghirahim was actually a far more interesting and compelling villain, he could have made a far better finale by backstabbing his master for power.
      9. Worst of all, a huge portion of the screen is taken up by the Wii-mote HUD and it cannot be completely disabled.
      There you go, those are some of the main reasons skyward was an inferior experience for me just off the top of my head.

    Every person in real life that I’ve heard complain about motion controls either executes them horribly wrong (like putting the motion tracker in the worst place humanly possible, or standing/sitting one foot away from the tracker which isn’t how it works which I can see Linkus is clearly doing😂), or take ZERO CARE of their controllers, slamming them on shit, swinging them hyper aggressively, throwing them, and so on.
    I can count on one hand the amount of times in my 15+ years of playing motion control games where the motion tracking was wonky, and it was *usually* my fault. 1 or 2 exceptions of just buggy shit, but that’s hardly anything.
    I’m convinced people who complain about motion controls just have a serious skill issue, sorry not sorry. 🤷🏼‍♂️

      I agree that motion control not working is often because people aren't using it correctly, like 99% of the time, but you don't always have the room to set the sensor far enough away and properly swinging is annoying.
      I think a lot of the complaints for motion controls is more about it just not adding anything or being particularly fun in most cases. There are absolutely exceptions, VR nowadays is an example of motion control being amazing, and there are individual games or sections in lots of games where motion control DOES add something.
      But when the Wii first came out, the games just had motion controls because that was the Wii's thing so they had to. They didn't add anything and just made it annoying, I found. I've played a ton of Zelda games, and I actually really enjoyed Skyward Sword myself, but swinging the Wii Remote didn't make me feel more immersed, it was annoying and I did it because I had to in order to play the game. Pushing the A button was far more enjoyable a gaming experience for me. Aiming the bow, however, actually wasn't bad though; that's something where motion control adds something and made it better.

      Twilight princess is my favorite Zelda game, but the motion controls was my biggest problem with the wii version of the game. The motion controls are also the biggest reason I hate skyward sword, like honestly, you give us a Zelda game with an ass story, a butchered version of twilight princesses art style, and for the cherry on top you want me to swing my arm around like an idiot? Yeah no thanks, the only reason I bared it for the wii version for twilight princess is because twilight princess is an actually good Zelda game. The baseline though is that I play Zelda games to have fun, not to stand in place and swing my arm around like I'm playing pretend.

    Skyward sword is a very fun game though once the HD version ironed out all of its weird kinks. You make the texts scroll way faster, tighten up the scripts, make all cutscenes skippable, and give us traditional controls, the game suddenly cuts down about 10 hours of fluff.
    The game just has loads of little details you can appreciate. The entire game's regions are designed like one big dungeon to explore too. Granted, not all regions are created equal but even on the wii version, the level design stood out in a good way.

As a concept in and of itself, it is inconsistent. Especially when the edge cases in which people can't do the motions "the right way" for whatever reason are varied and plentiful. They're a fun gimmick, but at the end of the day, they're just clunky no matter how you swing it.

    Linkus, I think that SS is a great video game. Top three at least. The lengthy plot, the intense and violent language, and the gameplay and motivation. This game has the most badass moments in the series by a longshot*. The struggles Link and Zelda go through to save their home just because they care are very difficult, and I think that you didn't do this game justice. Please do a full playthrough of this game, and don't skip the cutseens or dialogue. When you realize the awesomeness of this game, maybe watch Zeltik's video on the plot. There are thousands of people that love this game, and I am one of them. Just because you are a speedrunner, doesn't mean games that are more fun casually aren't good. I fully support and enjoy speedrunning, but only if the reasoning is that the person loves the game and already played through it many times casually and wants to experience it in a new and fun way. You need to give Skyward Sword a chance, because it is, once again, one of the best video games of all time.
