It took me a year and a half - but I finally beat Skyward Sword.
I'm happy that I played it, because it gives me a lot of 'oh cool' moments in terms of lore and adds a lot of cool things for BotW.
Things I liked:,
- The foundation
- Color palette
- 60fps
- Soundtrack, amazing - some of the best songs from the franchise
- The setting
- Skyloft
- Groose
- Demise - Is it Akuma, is it Mumm-ra? Or is it a little both of both? cool as heck
- some puzzles were really cool
But the controls and combat dragged this game for a lot, the targeting system were the worst I have ever experienced in any game - 'hey look there's the final boss' let's target thin air instead. I get that some stuff just too integrated in wii controls but some of the stuff is just outrageously bad and I dont understand why it was as bad as it was. It's a big reason why it took me this long to beat.
The highs are high enough to still give it a a 7, albeit a weak one out of 10 but man, I wish controls were a bit more refined and polished.
