- It's finally here. If you're wondering why it's not on push-start it's because they already have a review and I don't want mine to conflict with theirs. I'll try and upload a new review there sometime this or next week so check this spot often for a link.
Pros: -The dungeons and the bosses are wonderful (with a few minor annoyances). -The motion controls work very well. -Beacons are very useful in finding specific areas. -A large cast of characters. -You have a third option instead of just saying yes all the time.
Cons: -The exploration is very linear. -Most of the new items are only used for solving problems and serve no function in nearly every battle. -Flying around in the sky is boring as there is not much to do up there and it can be pretty slow at times. -The shop to enhance your items and weapons feels like untapped potential. -Your partner has no personality and will explain things to you after you've already learned them throughout the entire game. -Watch out for that game breaking glitch near the end of the game.
I would argue that Skyward sword is a diamond in rough. Sure it has fustrations and allot of players didn't like the motion control and it reused eldin mountain too many times and the sky was empty. but i found it enjoyable. The art style of the characters was lovable, especially the girls. and the side quests to help people are in my opinion something that they should keep doing in next zelda. Next zelda should be just one big world. kinda like wind waker but on land with extra secrets.
Majora's Mask?...
Yes........... kinda like Majora's mask.
gethsoftware well I'm sure you loved Breath of the Wild because that's what you asked for.
Wind Waker and Bioshock both revolved around the ocean, prequels set before both games take place in the sky . . .
Please tell me I'm not the only one who doesn't hate Fi, Navi, or the Owl...
I like Fi and Navi, but I don't like the owl
At least with navi you could just ignore her.
devel2105 We meet again. :P Just passing through for some info for the countdown, especially with what CJ thought about The Imprisoned, Koloktos, and Demise.
Slashstar314 What a coincidence.
devel2105 By the way, Midna was my favorite tag-along character too. :)
I have two things, During the 2010 E3, Miyamoto stated "The over world is more like a dungeon" that explains the way the over world has more puzzles than previous ones. And how could you think that the music was not memorable? With tunes like Ballad of the Goddess, Groose's theme, Ghirahim's theme, Fi's Theme, etc. Also The final boss in Skyward Sword is anything but lackluster, infact it is my favorite boos fight of all time.
To each their own.
i think you were a bit harsh on the exploration thing. you shouldn't scald it like you did because it comes down to preference of the player. we've seen exploration as the main element for every zelda game until this one. it's nice to see a change to the formula for once. It's less about the exploration and more about the puzzle solving and combat in this game.
i think you're completely wrong about that. I thought the puzzle solving was both challenging and unique from the previous games, and the combat required a different approach to attacking each enemy to a larger scale than the older games.
if you're talking about the controls, i had no issues. it was hard to get used to at first, yeah. but after a while, everything felt rather natural. if you can't get the controls right, you're probably just bad and need more experience. that's what gaming is about, challenging yourself. anyone can just pick up an average control and press some buttons and instantly know how to play and be good at a zelda game.
people shouldn't be afraid to try something new. i was a bit worried for this game at first, but i played it through to the end and i don't regret it. one of my favourite zelda games just for being unique.
Kaidos Gaming Just because something is new or different doesn't give it a pass if it isn't executed right. As far as the combat goes I found it lacking in variety. Past Zelda games allowed you to use your other items to create different ways on how you would handle your enemies. EX: Wind Waker let me use boomerrang to stun enemies then I could use the Grabling hook to take away an item while they are still dazed then attack them with the sword before they realized what happened. Skyward Sword lacked a lot when it came to items and combat together.
i'm not saying it's better than past zelda games. i liked TP as well. i'm just saying that you need to look at it from a different perspective. don't compare it to past zelda games, because it's not a clone of a past zelda game.
The rest is all opinion. i thought it was creative and new.
This is a Zelda game, IT IS about the exploration. That's like they make a Star Fox game that isn't about shooting stuff on space... oh, right...
but it was literally on a linear path
like your ps2 games crash.
you want a linear zelda done right play minish cap or wind waker
so, I had a dream that you reviewed Wario Land 3 and gave it
"A 6/5
The best game I have ever played!" So, what do you think about the game cj?
I don't have it, sorry.
oh, okay
4/5 thogh I haven't won the game yet, I still like it (stuck on earth temple)
I just don't understand what people have against the Lanayru Mining Facility. It was personally one of my favorite dungeons in the series. The music specifically was a nice touch. It fit perfectly with the dungeon, and sent the atmosphere through the roof. One of my most vivid memories was watching that epic "entering dungeon" cutscene, not knowing what to expect, then having that haunting music start ever so slightly before another cutscene showed the ruins of an ancient factory. The slight sounds and changes with the different times was a perfect fit. But then again, I'm a musician. I may just be able to say and find what I appreciate about it.
I find it odd that Fi never really bothered me yet Navi annoys the crap out of me. It is really weird.
that happened with me too. something about Fi just feels magical rather than annoying
I'm the opposite. I was never annoyed by Navi, at least on my first OOT playthrough. I was able to ignored her on later playthroughs, but it was always the Owl, despite only brief appearances, that I hated in that game. Fi never fails to irritate me.
I love this Zelda game :D it's the best Zelda game ever :D
I am talking about skyward sword
sarahbear10301 For me, it's still Twilight Princess. It was truly an amazing adventure, with a more mature plot and story.
Truly a lenghty, epic action/adventure, and a definition of the series to me.
AlexfromNorway yeah I know I play tp a lot
but for some reason I feel a bond with skyward sword like when you get a feeling of happiness, saddest I feel bad for the characters wh lost love
IKR!
>3< :3
Fi and Navi weren't that annoying and they can actually be kind of helpful
When you said that fi made you miss navi and midna well I agree with navi but midna was the best partner link had oh and good review one of the best reviews of skyward sword
You pridicted what the owl statues do in the recent remake, they just save to that statue you use as the latest point of start
You must have played a different game. I finished the game last night and I ADORED it. It is honestly one of THE best games I've ever played as well as my favorite Wii game. Not even Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 can top this masterpiece.
Any one ever here of Hyrule warriors
I kinda agree with you that Fi was queen obvious most of the time... but I felt so defenseless when *SPOILER ALERT PAST HERE!* Link was captured I actually really needed her help during that but just felt so alone... Also the actual realization that Link of all people had to sneak around to avoid his enemies knowing that if he was caught he would be at their mercy really set in the feeling of "Hey guess what? Your all by yourself, your defenseless, and if you get caught it's all over. Good Luck HERO!"
JokaBloka Ya I agree that some (not all) of the best moments were throw backs to the older games... like a few characters saying "Hey it's a secret to everybody" but I didn't find the game disappointing, I really enjoyed it. But hey everyone has their own opinion. :)
JokaBloka
....
But then again Fi and the Master Sword are still different for practical uses and plays no role in how you swing the sword. You may also want to think about Ghirahim, another spirit of a sword, mastered magic and wrecked havoc to the land with the purpose of reuniting with his master, yet Fi, Hylia's creation, has to wait until you pick her up again. Even though the sword is at full power, she can't even provide a mechanic that would add its own spice to this Forsaken Fortress inspired event.
This is my top 5 zelda games
1. Wind waker
2. A link between worlds
3. Twilight princess
4. Ocarina of time
5. Skyward sword
+JixD01 1. Majoras Mask2. Skyward Sword3. Twilight Princess4. Spirit Tracks5. Ocarina of Time Master Quest
1:35 best part of the review. also does hyrule historia talk about the birth laws of skyloft?
No, it doesn't.
this game ruined zelda for me.
it is garbage
why do you hate it
hey at least its not sonic 06 or sonic boom. its probably my most favorite zelda game. along with ocarina of time. just because you hate one game doesn't mean it has to ruin the whole franchise for you.
Arnaldonintendo zelda series has coninually gone downhill (atleast the main ones) since 2000 this one was my final straw it was babies first zelda game it sucks so many boring tedious quests to do the graphics look like a kids play room, the music does not fit the game at all, the combat works only 90% of the time, the characters are beyond stereotypical.
Obviously I agree with the first one. :) The things you can't do are say "Oh this 2010 game has much better graphics than this game that came out in the 90's, and it has online play." All I want to do is smack some sense into their empty heads. You can't compare the limitations of the past with the present, it's unthinkable. That's why I like to review my games based on when they came out and not by the current standards. But you knew that already, I was just explaining it to those who didn't.
Doing them out of 10 seems so pointless to me. For example what would be the difference between a game getting a 3 or a 4 out of 10? You know it's not a good recommendation anyway so let's just get rid of 5 of the numbers. Using a 5 recommendation level seems much cleaner and easier to use. I also said the game could hold it's own weight thanks to the dungeons and boss battles and while I think it's the weakest 3D Zelda game, it's still a pretty good video game in general.
To each their own, though I don't think you understand why so many people love it. It was the first Zelda game to be in 3D, a very hard thing to do back then. The sword combat wasn't ready to evolve until Wind Waker but even then & for Majora's Mask it still did a lot like triple slashes and a jump attack. The plot was based off of A Link to the Past so it almost seems like your insulting that one as well, just saying. Also for the first 3D dungeons in the series I thought it did a great job.
In Zelda games a part of the charm is being able to traverse large environments as it helps to capture the feeling that you're on a grand adventure and that you can explore the large area around you in order to find secrets and items. The large scale means you don't have to follow the simple path and can break away to do some adventuring of your own. Narrow paths kind of kill that for me in Zelda. In works in 2D platformers but it doesn't have the same effect for 3D adventure games.
Thank you, let me ease your mind: First the items in Twilight Princess did not need an upgrade from a shop as they could already be used for puzzle solving and combat. Like the ball and chain or attaching the bombs to the arrows. I love going through open fields with epona to discover new areas or just run through them, but if that gets boring I can just warp somewhere else. While the names escape me for the time being TP had some memorable characters like Midna, Zant, the bar lady, and Lilla.
I can forgive Hyrule Field in OoT because it was the first time they made an overworld in a 3D Zelda game and they got better from there on. If the overworlds didn't have quick transportation or a way to warp then I understand why others don't like them but they do help make me feel like I'm on in adventure but traversing through large areas. They could've done more with the sky like have more obstacle courses, races, warps, but they really didn't do anything with it.
The biggest problem I have with the save statue is it doesn't let me restart from the owl save statue. If I'm doing a sidequest like protecting the cows on the ranch or the Sun's mask and I make a mistake I can't go back to the last checkpoint I have to start all over again. I hate that and I hope they fix it if they remake Majora's Mask.

A Link Between Worlds was confirmed to be a sequel to A Link to the Past. Link is only the same Link in certain games like Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, and Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass. The Link from Skyward Sword and The Minish Cap are not the same.
You do realize that won't happen right? First of all he doesn't know me, second he already did his review of the game and I'm sure he doesn't to do it again right after he just did a 50 min review of the game. Finally I'm sure he has his other projects to work on.
To be honest I knew she would leave you when we first saw the teaser poster. It's kind of a Zelda cliche, I also figured she would start to show some emotion right there as well. However when I finally got there the only thing I could think of was "nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey, good bye!"
I loved it. The fight starts with you escaping from a sinking ship, you have to fight off the tentacles coming up from the ground, and the boss itself caught me completely off guard. I kept thinking the Robot Pirate would come back but not this, plus the sheer size actually made it intimidating to me.
From what I've heard: Demise and Hylia were total opposites and so were Fi and Ghirahim. However I don't think the opposite of Ghirahim's personality should be none at all but either timid or shy. At least then Fi could show a lot of character development near the end of the game.
I honestly had no clue how you were going to go about reviewing this one.
You've expressed your distaste towards it before, but only very lightly.
So seeing a 17 minute review on it, I had no idea what I was coming in to.
However, you handled it well! Very nicely done ^^
Actually I think the real thing was it just left such a horrible first impression on me. After playing through it a second time to record footage for it it didn't bother me as much but stuff like fetch quests and Fi still got in the way.
True, but you can warp to other places, check out submarines and islands, fight octorocks, go through barrels to earn rupees. I never said I loved the sailing but compared to the flying in Skyward Sword it does seem to offer more to it.
Thank you. :) From what I've noticed in my editing when I recorded from both my Wii and WiiU the WiiU is a bit sharper than the Wii. However you can't tell that in this review as both were up-scaled to 1080 HD.
Hard to say really. If anything the WiiU should be around for at least 5-6 more years. The PS3... probably one year after the PS4 comes out and the PS4 won't play PS3 games. I guess which ever has more games you want to play.
To be honest I just wanted it to sound like a normal narration for this one while reading at a normal pace. That is actually a difficult thing for me to do. I guess I just wanted this to be as professional as possible.
I can see that unfortunately I could tell that was going to happen, it's almost cliched. Remember the computer that fell in love with Peach in Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door?
I'll take Navi's "Hey! Listen! Hello?" anyday over "Master let me repeat what the game just told you and other obvious things every time you turn the corner or do something."
Yeah they really focused more on the sword combat rather than other ways to approach your enemy. It's not like the combat is boring but it really lacked a lot of variety.
Sadly no. While I will review that game in the future this one took a lot out of me so I'm going to focus on a shorter game like Sin and Punishment Star Successor next.
Yeah you can use the whip to steal items but it's actually more effective to just kill them first and take the item later. Plus it only works on the Moblins for me.
After the build up he had during the entire game it felt a bit lackluster that it was sword fight, right after you just went through a better sword fight IMO.
That was a very well done review! You pretty much have the same view at this game like. It's a good game, and a good Zelda game, but it's far from the best to me.
I know but I still I find the dungeons and bosses to be so good and well thought out that the game could survive just based on that. Everything else... yeah.
That's very hard to say, but Twilight Princess is probably the best learning curve in the series... if you can get past the horrible hour long start.
I would say that Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess would be the best places to start for new Zelda players. Wind Waker is also acceptable.
Xenoblade should be very hard to find so if you find that get it. Then after that pay $20 at gamestop for Sin and Punishment Star Successor.
No actually because it was so straight forward. You just kept going up then once you go through the giant web you didn't have to go back up.
I've always kind of been into those things in certain games, it just made more sense to point that part out while doing this review.
Actually I find that's the problem with a lot of games, for example Sonic. I love the Sonic games but some of those fans are just...
No, I think I'll hold it off making that until Arkham Origins comes out... assuming I can even get around to reviewing it.
No I mean if I make a mistake or forget to save then it feels like I have to restart the game again. That's just me though.
That's a very good idea. I mean sure the treasures had a light around them but the beacons would be so much better.
I don't know why they decided Fi needs to remind you that you're low on hearts. They already have a noise for that!
Now that you mention it all the Pirate song from wind wakers is what I think of when someone says Groose's theme.
I think it's for the best if I don't watch it then. They are entitled to their opinions just as anyone else is.
I felt I didn't need to spend an extra 2-5 minutes on each character. It would've hurt the pacing of the video.
No,she'll just tell you everything you already know every time you turn the corner. I'll gladly take Navi.
It cuts out the backtracking and makes it more convenient to get to another place very quickly.
I've already done a Forbidden Fruit video on Megaman, a What's Your Opinion video is not needed.
"Weakest 3D Zelda game"
No, that's Twilight Princess
***** Ocarina of Time doesn't have dungeon items that become useless outside of their dungeons, mostly forgettable music, an underdeveloped world, and the most uninvolved Princess Zelda in the franchise
***** I know, but that does not keep it from being the weakest 3D Zelda in the series
+Dracomut Twilight Princess doesn't either. Zelda in Wind Waker just as uninvolved (as Zelda, not Tetra) and if we count games she wasn't really in at all, then certainly not. 😊
You have to clear the Silent Realm in the Farron Woods to be able to swim underwater.
Yes it was but it came out for the Wii first and was only on the Gamecube in America.
That's weird, there were 3 dislikes and now it's only 2. That can actually decrease?
It says it's still processing and the quality should be improved after a little while.
Probably Sin and Punishment Star Successor since it's a very short game to go over.
Probably the NES games, I can only have fun with them if I have a map or a guide.
To me it just felt like narrow paths with other narrow paths connected to them.
Thanks, but I honestly don't know when you can expect that list to come here.
That still sounds like one of the worst characteristics to give a character.
Most of my complaints came in the section that was meant for complaints.
i found tentalus awful even if its only for aesthetic reasons and the imprisoned fights are broken, because while they're is a variety of ways to beat it, only one actually works, also they're in the boss rush mode, making that almost unplayable, of course it does add a story element, particularly, but still feels like a shoehorn. i like the review tho.
If you're talking about that teaser pic of Skyward Sword it was in 2009.
What did you say? I only watch his videos, I don't know him personally.
Sadly I've barely played them. I haven't had the time to play them yet.
I'd take mm and oot over this any day
I might love this game, but I do agree with many of the problems you point out. While I would argue that all 3D zelda games are fairly linear, this one is really pushing it. What makes me consider it one of my favorites are the dungeons and boss fights, which you thankfully praise. I'm really glad that you were this forgiving with the game, and opted to not say it's 'the first bad zelda game' because they are far worse entries like Four Swords Anniversary and (UNPOPULAR OPINION APPROACHING) the original LoZ. The divisive nature of this game is also why I'm terrified of SomeCallMeJohnny's review of it...
Skyward sword is a mixed bag. What is does well, it does near flawlessly and there are so many great things I can say about this game to make it stand out, much more than TP at least. Problem is that is has the biggest list of flaws of any 3D Zelda game and misses the mark way too many times. I do respect it for being different and trying t put a fresh spin on an old formula unlike TP. Don;t get me wrong though, I love SS and TP, just they don;t compare to OOT, MM, WW, and Link`s Awakening IMO
You're right on target. SS does have many hit-and-miss points, the two biggest flaws being the lack of exploration and the hand-holding. However, it's gorgeous to look at, the story, humor and characterizations are fantastic, and the motion controls were near-perfect (the only thing I struggle with is walking on tightropes). It also has some of the better 3D Zelda dungeons. It's not lacking for great music, namely The Sky, Ballad of the Goddess, and Fi's Theme. (continued)
I don't think you talk about the story or characters nearly enough! That's what did the game for me! I agree with much! I'd want way more to explore and i hate those 2 dungeons you mentioned! But waiting for a new cutscene made it all so worth it! And The main characters (Link,Zelda,Girahim) actually have personalyties, somthing the mains usually lack. I am pretty lonely in loving Fi i guess but i'm also alone in loving the Water temple from oot =P
Good review CJ! I can feel the effort!
Great review. I love what you like to call Fi. I actually laughed at that because I feel the same way about her. Here's one thing that I would like implemented in the next Zelda game. I want to be able to toggle the level of assistance by the companion. For example, I could have it completely disabled, have it show when I spend a long time without any progress in a puzzle, or only show when I ask for it. With Fi, I felt that the game held my hand all game and didn't let me enjoy the challenge.
Speaking as a person who really enjoyed this game. I do actually agree with most of your issues of the game.
However, at the same time, the parts that I really loved about the game, just made me love it and made the most impact on me as a Zelda fan.
But what seems to be a game breaker to one is not so much to another, and what's enjoyable to one is also not as enjoyable to another. To each his own really.
Good review though. :)
I honestly believe Fi gets a lot more hate then she deserves. Yes, she's like a robot and she's the queen of obvious. But that sometimes makes the game very entertaining, like with the missions with Scrapper. Plus, in case you overlook something, she can be very helpful in reminding you about certain items or enemies. Does she deserve some critisism? Yes. Is she the most annoying compainion yet? No. I personally feel Ezlo from Minish Cap is, but that's just me.
I hated this game so much! This made me never want motion controls in any video game ever! I wish it was more like Red Steel 2 where it only used the motion pulse where it was needed and not for every thing. I did not even make it up to the first boss before giving up on this game. Good review I am a Zelda fan but I had no fun playing skywards sword.
Hey cj I actually never played any of the Zelda games, but if I would like to start playing them and I like to do the 3D ones more, which game would be best to start me off with this series, Ocrina of Time, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Majora's Mask, or this game?
(from previous) For me, the positives far outweigh the negatives in SS. I wouldn't say it's the weakest 3D Zelda game (that would be Twilight Princess IMO). Overall, while I like this game better than you do, this is a fantastic review with many valid points and it's very well made. Great job! :)
WAIT YOU FORGOT THE MOST UNIMPORTANT DETAIL FROM A GAME THAT I THOUGHT WAS MEDIOCRE
the fatal blow actually originated from wind waker, but as far as I can tell, It's rare and random.
Well SS my favourite Zelda game and in my opinion best game of all time
The next one should be 5 favorite and hated Sonic Characters.
Well I meant new moves in battle but you know what I mean. ;P
There's this thing that's called an "opinion", and all of them are different from the one you possess. Call me crazy, but I'm sure half of the people who see this comment won't agree with you.
Ahh, thank goodness I'm not the only one who hates the 3rd dungeons music! That "music" was the catalyst for my first-ever experience of turning the sound off while playing a Zelda game...
It was to show the "Hit Pause" from previous Zelda games.
This is a very good review, very accurate. I agree with you on just about everything. This game is why I still stick to Twilight Princess as my personal favorite.
I still haven't played it, but most people say it's very hit and miss... will probably try to pick it up at some point, but I can't say I'm in a rush to do so...
10:27, I actually enjoyed that dungeon and its music, but its just my opinion and i'm
not gonna be "That Guy on TH-cam" and start hating you for it.
Probably that 5 year list and 10 videos I'm proud of.
well too bad,go play games that are designed to suit those needs of yours and let zelda be
also those games were released in the 90's,weirdo
Twilight Princess was the first Zelda game I played, so thanks jerk.
I think the worst Zelda game (excluding the CD-I games) is Zelda 2.
