Twilight Princess is my favorite Zelda game and Skyward Sword is my least favorite Zelda game.
Might be a little late to the party xD but I would like to share an opinion, I agree on most of your points:Midna is a terrible character and has poorly-constructed character "development". The character designs are the worst in the series. The artstyle is hideous and did not age well at all. The music ranges from ok to ear-gratingly bad, especially in the twilight sections. The twilight sections themselves were tedious and poorly designed. All of the dungeons except the City in the Sky were also poorly designed and slogs. Same for the bosses. The item use is the worst in the series, most of the items are only useful in the dungeons you get them from and 2 or 3 overworld puzzles. The story is poorly constructed and tryhard edgy.
So yeah, there's very little I like about it.
all the main characters probably, we musn't forget the village of misshapen heads- all characters look cool
Almost everything you listed wasn't done well at all. The spinner was cool in theory, but its useless outside of the Arbiter's Grounds. It has no staying power. The double clawshots were what made City in the Sky the only fun dungeon, and even then, SS did them better. The boss fights were all pretty boring and repetitive, even compared to OoT. The music isn't very memorable, either. Hyrule Field theme is good, Midna's Lament is good (which is ironic that I like that theme considering how much I hate Midna, lol), the rest of the soundtrack was very forgettable. The only character in the game with any worth was Colin, and the game decided to ditch him for the rest of the story as soon as he has his one good moment. Lots of poor writing choices like that bog down the story, and its just a tedious game to play overall. Almost every other Zelda game is better by a longshot. I'd rather play through Adventure of Link again.Might be a little late to the party xD but I would like to share an opinion, I agree on most of your points:
Midna was quickly and poorly made.
For « that » time, yes, the character designs are very « old » and the quality is really bad! And ofc it didn’t age well xp
But the music is great, like most of the Zelda games.
Yes the twilight section is very bad (small, annoying etc), but it was mostly because we all expectedly better.
BUT, the sky city was quite bad, with a very boring fight...
But the more I read, the more I understand that you literally don’t know anything about the Zelda franchise:
OoT has really boring boss fights, worst then most of the Zelda’s best fights. Compared to that, tp has cool boss fights like the sand temple with the half dragon and the reaper, but also the dungeon in the lost woods, where you can control statues!!!
The Wild West style fight in the Hidden Village, that was EPIC! I fealt like a lone Hyrule cowboy, and it made my childhood!
We’ve also got the mountain mansion, with the yetis, but we find out the existence of it after doing exciting detective-like quests.
And I COMPLETELY DISAGREE with the objects! Did you forget the Double crawshot and the spinner? The spinner! It basically rivals the best SS object which is the beetle (no disagreeing on the beetle!).
My final point is that no, the story is not poorly constructed, it’s just separated in different quests and by finishing them you finally find ganon and see the scene with Zant killing him off. (Which has a significant meaning)
So NO Tp is not the worst Zelda game because:
- It sold well (8.85 MILLION copies sold)
- Enjoyable to play because it’s long enough to actually have a good story
- Cool looking bosses (they might not be strong, but they look cool)
- The Spinner
- One of the best soundtracks (did you turn off the sound when you played?)
- Training session with the hero of time (yes that soldier is the hero of time)
- Dark theme (great for past emo selves)
- wolf link
- Backstory
- the bloody castle when we can see people
- Sand temple
- Fixing the world by teleporting the [Bridge for example] with Midnas powers
- Freakn boss fight against Zelda, with the cool tennis match
- Hidden village w/ a Wild West theme
- Lord of the rings looking monsters
- butterfly collecting and saving the old gold man
- Buying the magic armour
- You can stop reading but I still have tons
- Skeleton dragon boss fight
- Scary looking screaming dead zombie things
- when you use your brain to beat up the knight lizard
- riding with Zelda on Epona while she headshots Ganon
- Zant going through all the boss zones
- Zant fight!
- Sad moments with Midna
- Zelda saving Midna
- Skull kid and the Hide and seek game
- Skull kid theme and Midnas Lament
- Midna being a bish
- Links first love but then you grow out of it
- EPONAAAAAAA
- At this point you should stop reading
- Wrestling the Gorons
- Seeing the child of the dead Zora queen TwT
- Being able to use the objects in every situation (beating the crap out of everyone with the ball and chain, I know you’ve tried!)
- the great fairy design
- EGDY LINK IS GORGEOUS
- all characters look cool
- FREAKN DRAGON
- Black Knight fights (also in Hyruke castle I think)
- The fighting combos ( rolling to the side etc)
- You should've stopped, like REALLY STOPPED
Haven't played SS but let's see a wallpost longer than this on it.Might be a little late to the party xD but I would like to share an opinion, I agree on most of your points:
