This will explain the best and worst SSHD had to offer: It made me both appreciate that they tried but still failed so miserably in other ways:
The Best & Worst of Zelda Skyward Sword - YouTube Neat and straight to the point: He doesn't mumble into the mic nor rants and raves like a lunatic. It shows me it's not even a 'small' version of BOTW: No not in the slightest!
Seems I was right when I figured this game would be just like the Great Plateau combined with quick trips to the main plot areas of the said game instead of all there is to explore: And to add to the insult,to make the game seem longer they make you back track to the same areas several times to get stupid crap.
Imagine if the most asinine sidequests in BOTW was all there was to do post story? No guardians to hunt down,No Lynel farming,No dragon farming,No armor collectiong,none of that.
