Twilight Princess did deserve more than 8.8. gently caress the haters, TP is one of the better Zeldas.

I don't think peoples opinions on Skyward Sword are likely to change with time. It has some good parts, some REALLY good parts even, but it also has some bad parts and lots of annoying design choices and needless repetition.

Skyward Sword did a few awesome things. The problem is that for every one great thing it had, there were about 10 or 20 other things that were some combination of annoying, boring, or just plain dumb.

After I first beat Twilight Princess, I felt an urge to replay it almost immediately that persisted for years. I have never felt even the faintest urge to replay Skyward Sword. I feel like I got everything there was to get out of it after one single playthrough.

If they would have just removed the godawful stamina mechanic and made Fi shut the gently caress up for five minutes, Skyward Sword would have been a great game.

Also design a combat system that's not simon says, but all the problems in that game come down to the fact that it has no faith in you as a player and it constantly patronizes you.

Twilight Princess was a huge, empty, garbage heap of a game that they rushed to completion. ffs, the back of the box has a screenshot of you with a magic meter, even though there's no magic system at all

And put the controls on a controller and not a waggle stick.

And not reintroduce every item that you collect if you turn the game off.

Also you'd have to replace the sky with a good overworld system. So basically replace 80% of the game. It had nice art direction sometimes but the whole painterly thing never really worked either. Man was that game garbage.

For those not in the know:


I love this because that's not even the correct color on the Dekaranger there. The one with a 3 is DekaGreen, and DekaYellow is a lady. They went out of their way to bother to put the 3 on him. Hell it's not even the same DekaRanger that's in the backing artwork, amazing. If I were a kid getting that...I'd be asking where the hell my Ninja Turtle was.

For a moment I was wondering what the gently caress you meant. What's so racist about a white baby being adopted by a black family? And then I realized who the black family were meant to be.

While considerations of what is problematic or not hinders art in my opinion, I knew a guy who was going to cosplay as Marshall Lee but decided that the facepaint might be construed as appropriating Japanese Geisha. If pop sociology has prevented an Adventure Time Rule 63 cosplay then it can't be all bad IMO.
