When a new Zelda game was announced for the Nintendo Wii, fans were swept off their feet all around. When it was mentioned that Wii Motion+ would come into play, many people were anticipating the 1-on-1 swordplay and new mechanics that would be introduced into the game from this huge change. To date, many people have said that Skyward Sword has surpassed the long-lived Ocarina of Time on the scale of excellence, but there are also people who say differently.

I have to say that Skyward Sword went above and beyond what I expected. I have always been a diehard Ocarina of Time fan, so I did not expect Skyward Sword to really come close to what I felt about Ocarina of Time. After having played the game so much and being absolutely enthralled with it for hours on end, I have to say that Skyward Sword comes extremely close to – if not surpasses – Ocarina of Time. Skyward Sword got me involved, and I loved the new controls to death. Puzzles were mind-engaging and the game itself provided the challenge that I felt was absent throughout many of the games in the past. There is no doubt in my mind that Skyward Sword was a definite success, bringing me one of the best Zelda experiences I have ever had.
