Daily Debate: Is There a Zelda Game That You Started But Will Probably Never Finish?
Posted on September 02 2020 by Heather Beard
I am notorious for starting video games and not getting around to finishing them. I either get to the end and not beat the last level, or I get stuck and just put it down and never come back to it. I have sadly done that with a couple of Zelda games, and I wonder if I’ll ever get around to finishing them.
A long time ago I started Skyward Sword and played to the first dungeon and by then I was so fed up with the motion controls that I just gave up on the game. I know a lot of Zelda fans are divided on the motion controls with Skyward Sword, but personally I hated them. I just decided I wouldn’t finish Skyward Sword and now I hope it will be ported over so I can play without the hassle. The game itself was not bad, I’ve heard great things about the story, and the graphics were awesome for its time. The motion controls just seemed to ruin it for me.
Another Zelda game I have yet to finish is Majora’s Mask, for silly reasons. I’ve been stuck in the Gerudo part of the game for months and every time I think I make some progress I just back track. So I’ve gotten frustrated and put it down, and only pick the game back up every once in awhile. I’ll eventually finish Majora’s Mask, but with how frustrated I am, I don’t see that happening any time soon.
Do you have a Zelda game that you’ve started and never finished? What are the reasons why? Do you have suggestions on why I should pick either of these games back up? Sound off in the comments below.
