It would be a good thing if it was true. I even forgot it was supposed to be a school drama until Groose landed on the surface.

Nope, Link either way was going to find out he was the Hero Chosen by the Goddess. Plus, it's not explained what Link is fighting for. Zelda? Or the destruction of Demise? Or the safety of everyone else? Or... really.
To me, Link was clearly fighting for Zelda - the Zelda he knew on Skyloft. That was the mission: go down to the Surface and retrieve Zelda. He didn't even seem pained when he learned that she was really Hylia; right after the crystal scene he looks at Impa assuringly which, needless to say, is mean imo.
However that's the beauty of it; what intentions Link saves the world in aren't entirely up to the story, they are in the player's hand.

Yeah, actually everyone forgets about Zelda after they land on the surface. Then, we remember about her every time we almost manage to meet up with her. Then, we forget about her again, because all the rage is on Ghriahim. Then we remember her when she's seals herself in the crystal (which was pointless). Then, we forget about her again until the end of the crappy *** game. No one gives a **** about Zelda, except for those one or two over-sensitive fanboys in the back that threaten to kill you if you insult their ****** game.
Correction: if it weren't for Fi, then we would've forgotten about Zelda entirely. Considering that Link has *never* been to the surface before, he should've been fukin surprised or something. Like, totally blown out of his mind, just like Groose was.

Whatever you even mean by this is irrelevant, because the fact of the matter is the entire journey started out with Link trying to find Zelda, and that remained an underlying goal throughout the entire game.
Did you ever consider that maybe it was all three? Because it was.
And how do we know that it was all three? I personally think Link was fighting for Zelda - screw the rest. He had an undeniable bond with Zelda, and even tried to fight the pain in order to save her (beginning of the game after he tried to get out of bed, which took place after being knocked out by the black/brown tornado). On the contrary, he didn't seem to have much interaction with any of the Surface races. Yes, the Skyloft folks were good to him, but Zelda was paramount. ;p

Paramount or not, by the end of the game, Link was fighting for all three of those reasons.

This thread is basically - someone states their opinion - JJ defends. Oh how typical. :tired:
Now that's just mean, why aren't we allowed to state our opinions and have JJ defend the game? I for one enjoy it - it's interesting to see another member's responses to my own responses to SS. After all isn't that why we're on ZD?

Exactly! Same thing on any article on this site.
Nope, it wasn't. It's not clear in this ****** game.

Whenever Skyward Sword is in need, JJ will be there in his shining white armor to defend it. But really, almost all of us are guilty of this for our respective game(s).

There's a difference between stating an opinion and stating things that are outright inaccurate -- like what CraptainFalcon is doing. I'm only responding to the latter of these things. Seriously, look back at how many things I haven't responded to. You might just realize you could probably qualify for the Olympics due to how far you've jumped the gun.
I defend any game if necessary, because I always give credit where credit is due. I've even defended The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess on multiple accounts. Believe me, you'll be seeing me defend A Link Between Worlds and Zelda Wii U a lot when they come out, as well. It's an inevitability, given how picky the Zelda fanbase is.

IMO SS was absolutely stunning on the aesthetic front. Nearly perfect.
Its strengths: gorgeous visuals, great music, great story, fantastic telling of the story, great characters, good dungeons
But unfortunately, these were overwhelmed by the big flaws (IMO)
Very bad overworld. No exploration or variation. Too many fetch quests. The sky was empty. Very discouraging to play. Motion controls slowed down combat

Because those annoying bokoblins keeps blocking your(aka mine lol) attacks? I thought that was really annoying, but it was part of the combat in SS.
