  The Hylian shield has never looked so good. SSHD makes it look incredible!

  This is something that both TP and SS nailed perfectly. The dungeons in those games were so good

  I love this channel, the quality of each video is amazing, it’s everything I want to do starting my own channel. Your humor is great, and your videos are organized like someone with hundreds of thousands of subscribers, I bet you’ll grow big dude.

  I think Zelda is a weird franchise that is full of different types of games and athmospheres. And everyone gets to enjoy It differently. The first Zelda Game I played was Twilight Princess, and when I think of Zelda I expect a similar story, tone and Gameplay. TP IS Zelda to me. And every other Game is &quot;different/similar to TP on X or Y&quot;.<br><br>What I&apos;m trying to say is that you can enjoy Zelda for all its aspects a or just for one (say puzzles, dungeons, exploration, etc.). What do you like more? An extensive open world, a dark and linear narrative, puzzles whimsical adventures, top down camera, third person action camera, etc.<br><br>Every Zelda Game has a bit of everything and develops one or Two more per release.<br><br>SS conveys the narrative, epicness and linear storytelling greatly sacrifying some of the other parts that characterize the franchise. Love this Games.

  Pgreviews Zelda content?! Am I dreaming?! Totally agree with all your thoughts here, Skyward Sword is a very flawed game but it still has so many amazing things in it. The music, story, visuals, and dungeons are just incredible. Great review and retrospective!

  I&apos;ve always enjoyed Skyward Sword, though I had different concerns when the game initially released. &nbsp;I deal with lupus, so joint pain is thing. &nbsp;As a massive Zelda fan since I got the first game for Christmas back in &apos;87 or &apos;88, I was worried that they&apos;d released a game I literally couldn&apos;t physically play. &nbsp;When I finally got around to trying it (mostly out of boredom, and what did I have to lose), I found that for the most part, I really enjoyed the game, and that it wasn&apos;t nearly as taxing on my body as I was worried it would be. &nbsp;My other concerns with the game are the ones you mentioned here: obnoxious levels of hand-holding, straight-up linearity, and the fact that The Sky™ is &quot;no Zelda NES Overworld...it&apos;s not even Wind Waker&apos;s The Sea™&quot; practically verbatim. <br><br> The linearity I can deal with, as in the current age of RPGs I&apos;ve REALLY come to appreciate concise, story-driven worlds that don&apos;t have any aim to give me a billion different endings over 300 hours. &nbsp;But I have to say the one point of disagreement I have is that I always felt Skyward Sword should&apos;ve have regular pro controller options, and this edition of the game proved to me that it works just fine and that I don&apos;t need to swing my arms around to enjoy this game. &nbsp;(And btw, no, on the Wii version, I was constantly having to recalibrate center. &nbsp;That&apos;s not something exclusive to the Switch version.) The hand-holding can just eff right off, though.

  Disagree with your opinion of fi, her being a. Lifeless robot and learning &nbsp;what happiness is by the end was very endearing to me
