Nintendo Wii: The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword Review
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has received many spectacular review scores from numerous publications. Is this really Link’s greatest adventure yet? Read on to find out.
How did you find the motion controls?
I must admit that initially it came as a bit of a shock to play a game that was pretty much entirely dependant on motion control as I had previously been playing games that relied solely upon a traditional analogue controller. I must confess though that after about an hour I was converted to Nintendo’s vision that motion control is the most enjoyable and entertaining way to play a Zelda title. Yes, it may take a short time to get used to the controls, but I have to say that if you are having trouble managing them then that’s not a problem with the game, but with you.
How impressive are the visuals?
When Skyward Sword was first revealed to the public at E3 I was admittedly slightly disappointed. I was one of those that would have liked to have seen a more gritty and darker side to the Zelda franchise, however, after actually playing the game on Wii I’m confident that Nintendo made the right decision with the art direction in the game. Sure, it’s all rather colourful and cartoony but it really compliments the aging hardware on which it’s been built. This is the best looking game on Wii and I don’t think anyone who has played it could refute that claim.
Is this the best Zelda yet?
The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword is an ambitious game. It’s the first title to really build upon Wii MotionPlus and deliver exactly what Nintendo promised the Wii was all about. It’s taken a while but the wait was more than worth it as The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword is truly a spectacular title full of memorable characters, exciting locations and a unique control scheme that really does put your skills to the test. Could we have asked for a better Zelda game for Wii? I honestly don’t think we could. Is it the best Zelda game ever? Quite possibly.
