How many of you remember back to 2011, more specifically the months before Skyward Sword was released. If you can remember back then and kept up with Zelda Dungeon you probably remember all the hype SS was getting. Some people thought the Sky in SS would turn out like the Great sea from Wind Waker. The thing is, I look back now and I realise the sky turned out nothing like the great sea, the two can't even be compared. The great sea was big and vast, sure in the original WW travel was slow, but the Islands made up for it by each having a unique theme and interesting things to do on them. The Sky in Skyward Sword lacked things to do, and was a major dissapointment.
The sky fixed the traveling problem but the Islands were just boring. I actually took the time to anaylse each section of the sky. In total there are 46 floating objects, that's counting Skyloft. There are 7 islands with names, Skyloft, the isles of songs, pumpkin landing, fun fun island, bamboo island, bug rock, and beedle's island. There are another 11 islands with no names, and they practically serves just as areas that house Goddess Chests. They had nothing else to do besides open a Goddess chest, cut grass and leave. So in total there are 18 Island available to land on. Though there is another 28 floating objects, and they are just rocks! Well 12 of them are those speed boost rocks, but still, it shames me to say there are more floating rocks than Islands in SS.
I could go on listing things the Islands could have had in the sky to be more interesting, but in reality the game is out, there is no going back. Everytime I replay SS I have to deal with 29 floating objects which are a waste of space. The sky from SS cannot come close to the great sea from wind waker.
