i didnt like skyward sword that much
i liked the control tho, even if they needed some calibrating (at first i couldnt do horizontal and vertical swing whenever i wanted, which was frustrating)

but other than that, skyward sword wasnt that great, game felt really empty for some reason when compared to other zeldas (especially the sky part)

its still a good game but i dont think it deserve being in the top 3 or even top 5 zeldas (like some people say it is)

ya i had that calibrating issue too cause be trying to slash and i'd stab 75% of the time

idk the sky could have definitely been better but it's just like hyrule fields in Oot which was utterly empty and i've never heard anyone complain about it

it wasn't empty!
it had holes and a ranch and some trees, and some poes, and at night some skullchilds (or w.e they're called i forget), and a river, and a gate, and an ocarina in the moat

ranch and gate were just doors to get to other environnements, the poes and w.e were alright but didnt make it really feel not empty imo and ocarina was just part of a cinematic

gate i referred to was the gate you had to jump over to get to the lake

because it wasnt
comparing a 2012 game with a 1998 one is unfair imo
it had plenty of stuff for a n64 game w/o the expansion pack

majoras mask had a lot more stuff going on (because it had the expansion pack)
same with twilight princess or wind waker

skyward sword just feels empty

/e: also, fuck zones

Also those giant plants that would hover your ass and mow you down ^^

The sky was extremely empty that's true, but the way to explore those temple were a bit of a challenge for me at first since I've been playing other zeldas since the beginning of time.

Especially those stupid eyes that you can't shoot and u gota make em get dizzy, it literally took me 20 mins of WTF IS GOING ON to figure out what I had to do, can't say I'm proud about that though xD.

But idk Skyward is up there for me, I didn't enjoy TP as much as most people did and I have no clue why that is.

i thought the dungeons were kinda boring, none really impressed me tbh
i mean i barely remember any of them, except for maybe the water temple

i mean i loved the gameplay, the art, even the story was enjoyable

but the game severely lacked sidequest, which is imo a crucial part of any good zelda game (and none of that cube finding bs, i dont need more 200 rupees)
also puzzle were really simple, due to the game over-tutorializing everything

i feel like there are too many shortcoming to compare it to other top zelda games, even tho its still a great game compared to many other, just not as good as some other zelda games
