SS is NOT my favorite Zelda game. BUT I must say, I thought the plot was differen't. You never actually 'saved' Zelda until she goes to sleep, and even then you weren't saving her from a evil man until later. Then you were just wanting her to awake from her slumber, you were saving her from her long sleep. Another thing is Zelda being the goddess meant to protect the triforce? That took me by surprise.
And I don't know why everyone is complaining about Zelda not fighting! What's she supposed to do? wake up without her soul and go help link fight? She ha been the tough girl long enough, let her sleep through this one. After all, its not like she was cowering in the corner, I'm sure if she could she would help Link with his battle.
I almost agreed with on on the characters when I read the title, but that was 'cause I didn't like most the characters. I liked them a little, but they felt cheesy. You have the wimp who want to be like you, the amazing knight who someone has a crush on, you do these side quests that have NO depth at all! Just compare the Anju and Kefei quest to the pipit and whatsherface quest, which one had more depth? which one made you almost cry? which one made you feel that there was a reason to do this? the engaged couple, who are so in love that they continue to love each other even after one is turned into a child, or the one that are two knight-school students?(replace the KN with a H and get rid of the T)
But I don't care if these people don't come down and help me fight. I don't need them. But I think Batreaux should have more character development after you turn him into a human then "I can walk around now! yay!
" He could of come down and helped us fight... He did have wings after all...
Its weird with the AI with you, I never wait for the enemy to attack, I just swing my sword fast enough that I can attack what they aren't guarding. Rarely will I wait for the enemy to attack.
But I do agree with the final boss being easy(although I did have to try 3 times) and pretty much everything else but again, the story was different! The only thing that was the same was the fact that you were saving Zelda... Even though most of the time you were just chasing after her or waking her up.
