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.

Nintendo Wii: The Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword Could Have Launched Last Christmas If Nintendo Were Concerned About Making Cash
Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed that Nintendo could have released The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword last year, but the company was determined to make it as good as possible so they delayed it until now to add extra polish to an already great game.
“We’d only been thinking about what was most convenient for the company when we made this new game The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, we probably would have put a half-finished product on sale last Christmas by saying that we have managed to make it on time just because it was the order from the company.”
“We spent six months making the game, and another six months fine-tuning it. Because the game we were making was so huge, we needed to work that hard on it. Otherwise it would have felt like a waste. We spent so much time making a really good game and it came out so well that it would have been a waste not to make sure that it was really polished.”
“If I had said last Christmas, ‘We need something to be our big end of the year product. Make a new Legend of Zelda game,’ you would have made some sort of game. Because you would have spent as much time as you had and put in as much energy as you could to make it.”
