Summary: An amazing game for any adventurous gamer. I was a little ticked that it was gonna be just another Zelda game with the same old temples and story line but I was thrown into the awesome gameplay and story. Though it's no Twilight Princess it still is up in very high ranks in my video game list. I myself am a first person shooter gamer playing the greats like Halo and Call of Duty MW but like a game with an amazing story and Skyward Sword gave me that story i was looking for. I've played many zelda games and this game is in the top 2 with Twilight princess.the downsides are very limited too. The constant dialogue from Fi( your nami in this game) gets on my nerves but sometimes is vital for carrying on the story. Deserves 5outof5 stars anywhere.

Hugely great game. Can't type too much, still playing!!
by desertindy24 on November 20, 2011
Pros: Only got it a few hours ago, yet immersed in the storyline. Easy controls, cel-shaded perfectly, and the world beneath the clouds is more like a huge dungeon than an overworld. An interesting new villain in place of the infamous Ganondorf, as well.
Cons: Not many, but it takes a while to get around. In addition, I learn how to roll in Skyloft, but now, on the surface world, I can't! :[ . It's pretty disappointing, but most flaws can be overlooked, because there are more pros than I could mention.
Summary: Overall, an impressive game. But the cel-shading and just the fact that it's a Wii game drive people away. Those people who don't give this game a chance ...

Summary: Overall, an impressive game. But the cel-shading and just the fact that it's a Wii game drive people away. Those people who don't give this game a chance are just being fools. They won't know what they're missing out on. For the hardcore Zelda buffs out there, your gonna love it.
LONG LIVE LINK!!!

Forget that part about rolling-it was a problem with my nunchuck.

After beating the game.... yes it is crap. The story was lazy. The control was terrible. The game sucked. Strip it of the Zelda name. It does not deserve it.

- Manufacturer: Nintendo

- Description: The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword shakes up the tried-and-true adventure game formula and marks a turning point for the franchise. The introduction of full motion controls to the series enabled by Wii MotionPlus technology enhances player movements while offering the most intuitive play control of any game in the series to date. The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword boasts the most realistic sword combat of any game to date, turning every encounter into a challenge of both brains and brawn. Wii MotionPlus technology accurately translates the angle of every sword slice, effectively putting Link's blade in the player's hand. Analyzing enemy attack and defense tendencies and counteracting with precise swings of the sword provide a satisfying experience that blends puzzle-solving with a distinctly unique combat system. Explore a massive, multilayered world that seamlessly blends soaring exploration in a sea of clouds with intense ground-based adventuring that blurs the line between the main world and traditional Zelda dungeons. Prepare for intense puzzle-solving as The Legend of Zelda game can deliver. Exploration of the forests, volcanoes and deserts requires players to think on their feet as they solve puzzles, overcome obstacles and escape deadly traps. Once they find their way to each dungeon, they are confronted by even more puzzles guarded by fiendish enemies. The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword redefines the traditional Zelda framework and introduces an arsenal of items, upgrades and rewards unlike any game in the franchise to date. The adventure guides players into, out of and back to dungeons and areas they've already completed. Along the way, Link gathers a massive inventory of peculiar items and resources that can be used to upgrade many of his weapons and equipment.
