This is the TP hate thread, please make your own SS hate thread so I can disagree with you there.

in skyward sword, an alarm goes off to tell you that your low health alarm is going off

in skyward sword the entire game is a tutorial and the second quest where there are no heart drops is where it finally becomes a game (even though you still get the evil soul destroying unskippable loving text from the blue computer thing telling you things you've already just been told or that a baby could figure out)

i had blocked skyward sword out of my memory and it made me irl angry to remember how hosed up it was,. like clearly they had a sensible game there but then some boss or w/e parted their buttocks and crapped all over it because they thought they needed to make it accessible to an absurd user persona who wants to spend hours and hours playing a game whilst being completely mentally unequipped to do even basic problem solving

You sound very mad, Something Awful forums poster Abandon. Please let me direct you to the thread where you can poo poo on something on topic.



Sorry, I have returned from checking the fora and there's no thread for that! Why don't you make one? You seem very passionate about the issue and it's rather off-topic in this thread about making GBS threads on a game that isn't the game that you dislike.

thanks, i was worried that things were taking a turn for the unchill.

Postive TP thing: I didn't like the implementation of them since it was standard "move slow with no mechanical advantages" fare but the whole magnetized iron boots ceiling sections were really creative and definitely got my sense of adventure going.

Also, the subboss to the desert prison was incredibly cool. The real boss was also really good, but it lost in the design department because of its dumb mullet. Swordghost all day, every day.

Skyward Sword was awesome

There are stages of acceptance with Zelda games nowadays it seems

ZELDA A SUCKS -> lol that game was p bad -> I kinda liked these few parts -> *zelda b is released* -> GOD DAMNIT NINTENDO WHY COULDNT YOU MAKE THIS GAME LIKE GLORIOUS ZELDA A

Skyward sword was fine but the stupid sword controls got in the way too many times.

still not as bad as how the wii messed up Metroid other M though.

I played through it 100% and would not call it a bad game.


I even did the fishing lure stuff and all the ball mazes.

i thought all of wind waker's mechanics except the forced 5k rupee thing to be really good but it took me a strange amount of time to think "drat, this is actually one of the best zeldas"

Wind Waker had deeper and more involved combat than Twilight Princess, so basically I think Wii controls are ruining Zeldas.

the combat in tp was very boring, all you have to do to appreciate that is compare the combat trial dungeons in tp and wind waker
the fight against ganondorf at the end was ok though

Not only the unskippable tutorial, the whole first two hours were boring as hell and thats why I never progressed outside those two hours.

they really arent comparable. if you liked ocarina of time you might like twilight princess because minus the wolf poo poo it really doesnt make a huge effort to define itself as different

I never had a N64 so all the 'best' zeldas feel really antiquated to me, I couldn't get into wind waker for reasons I forgot and I don't own any handhelds so yeah twilight princess is my favorite
