Current Events > was Skyward Sword really that bad

(+) Yeah! (+)

i never played it but nu-zelda has been a miss for me and SS is the one dungeon-centered zelda i haven't played

Not really, no. People got far too in a tizzy about the motion controls and that basically made anything it actually did irrelevant. Similarly the act of "being linear" got enough flak that BotW was probably made explicitly to counter the sheer amount of vitriol.

It has some of the best dungeon design in the series as well as some of the best bosses. It is as simple as that.

Yes.

No. It's like my least favorite Zelda game but even a "bad" Zelda game is still pretty good.

I wouldn't say it was bad. It just wasn't as good as the other 3D Zeldas

Cool idea with the sky. But the concept wasnt executed well. Its nice to see TotK pick up and master what they were putting down. Dungeons were great. People were annoyed by Fi and motion controls even though I personally thought both were fine. I remember the game had bad padding (a common problem with that era of Zeldas) and the world exploration ended up being stilted and boring.

Yes, easily the worst 3D zelda game. And culmination of all its flaws till then cranked to 11.

Definitely had potential though but half in it seems like the devs completely gave up for whatever reason. No proof, just a feeling.
