to be honest, I don't see why Skyward Sword wasn't a good game. it gave us something totally different and I love it! Living in the sky was absolutely amazing, and the loftwings! Sure, motionplus was a pain in the ass, but totally worth it! The plot is super amazing and the ZeLink is adorable! It's super creative, and this is why I love it so much!

[@BlockSquad1000]

Been playing through all the 3D Zelda games in preparation for Breath of the Wild, and it's been such a blast seeing the different experiences in each one. The classic adventure that is Ocarina of Time, the dark, desperate and somber feeling Majora's Mask conveyed, the touching, beautiful story that is Wind Waker, and the more mature, epic game that is Twilight Princess. I'm yet to play Skyward Sword, but I can tell already it's going to convey another awesome feeling.

[@BlockSquad1000]

After finishing the game last week, I can say that Skyward Sword conveyed a very heroic, adventurous feeling that I don't think any other Zelda game has done. It's incredible, really.

Personally, I just don't like the Motion Plus controls. I love the art style and atmosphere, but the controls ruin the game for me.

[@jeweetzelf734]

***** ok

[@Snoozie]

***** Didn't have a problem with the controls. They were responsive and only messed up when you had to point at the screen, which you could calibrate by just pressing down.

[@vincentlinsin6549]

Each to their own. I liked twilight princess, I also liked Skyward Sword. It was fun to actually have another zelda game that was very light hearted. As for the controls, I felt it added for me a new challenge on the journey to save the world. And become the hero. Every game is good in its own respect. Heck, I know a guy who likes LoZ 2 more than OOT. And that's fine.

[@mAcroFaze]

I wouldn't say that's true. Sure, a darker themed Zelda would've been great, I personally loved the atmosphere of Twilight Princess, but that might be a lot to do with how vast the world felt too. Skyward Sword felt so forced and so limited in comparison. A lot of the mechanics also held it back from being fun. And going back to fight that Demise boss and stab its toes as it climbs up a cliff again and again... I dreaded that more and more each time round. But I did think having a mano a mano swordfight against girahim every now and again was badass!

[@Yet_another_placeholder]

@@Bacon8t0r I'm pretty sure Nintendo as such didn't really intend this, but rather the composer reversed Zelda's Lullaby and put it in here on his own, as a small easter egg for fans of the series. I haven't played the game, but I recently watched a video on the hypothetical topic of "Darkmotifs", hypothetical in the sense that it's not a real thing, and the guy in the video made some guesses as to what it would be, was it a real thing. In that video, this track was brought up as an example of a Darkmotif, as it holds Zelda's Leitmotif, "Zelda's Lullaby", but with the notes played in reverse order to disguise the fact that the Goddess referred to in the title of the track is, in fact, Zelda. You wouldn't realize it at first, but it's there. That said, I'm a huge fan of the series, and it kinda surprises me that I've somehow managed to miss out of this game...

Congrats, I bet that was fun!

I will warn you though, the binding is TERRIBLE and the pages will fall apart before you have mastered the song. But it's officially licensed by Nintendo, and it sounds very similar to the actual songs. So far from this book, I've memorized Song of Storms, Lost Woods, Midna's Lament, Zelda's Lullaby, I have played Gerudo Valley and I am in the process of mastering Hyrule Field (which is very difficult, about 8 pages too). Unfortunately no Skyward Sword though, the book was published in like 2011 :( P.S. I apologize that the first part sounds so much like spam xD

[@BEARMETAL99]

THIS SONG IS FUCKIN BEAST ZELDA IS AWSOME I AM 26 years old and i remmember the first zelda game that came out and this game is just BEAST i love zelda AND THIS song makes me remember my time of youth Good luck for all of you who are barley starting The Legend Of Zelda Saga it will sureley make you rember what you played when you are young when your older

[@BEARMETAL99]

yess

[@Eisdax]

I never played this game, but i want it now more than everything else. It's so sad that I hear this song and I have no memory to it of a brillant game...

[@SophieWilson1307]

Its a good game but I prefer twilight princess… have you played it?? Well anyways you should defiantly try skyward sword but try i avoid these comments there's many spoilers here........

[@mariuskylle]

when you a zelda fan and played the old games you be dissapointed when you play this :P because is it so different to the other games its not a bad game in all but its very different to the other very good games of the series

[@Eisdax]

I have played EVERY Zelda who exists except skyward swords. Because I've no WII U.

[@mariuskylle]

Eisdax skyward sword is for the normal wii =D but as i played skyward sword i was so dissapointed i really love zelda love the old titles and the new my favourite is twilight princess and oot and majoras mask i play zelda oot often on my n64 :D

[@Eisdax]

I didn't know that. O. o well, I bought OoT for the Nintendo 3Ds too because I love this game so much. But my absolute favorite is MM and TP. Even if the water Dungeon in TP was far too easy for a "The Legend of Zelda".

[@ColG_19]

best zelda music ever

[@platzstarlight]

I still prefer Skyward Sword over any other Zelda games and yes, even Botw and Totk.

[@albertoprieto285]

35th aniversary guys

[@GodMaxDrinkerofTea]

This theme really feels like the epic beginning of a new era. It just makes me feel things and that's amazing enough

[@TheGreatSammyJack]

We're back on the switch baby!

[@8-bitsarda747]

This game was 10 years ago? God, I feel old

[@nourata.5893]

Same I remember going to get it when it came out

[@weeels]

This is still an absolute banger 10 years later.

[@micahmwania1952]

And 12 years.

[@pepegaindustries7202]

HD REMAKE LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

[@yorucyber2630]

Can't wait to see Zelda be the protagonist ❤❤❤

[@Dylan43215]

Still my fav game and always will be, that one game has made my childhood. The story was amazing and the songs were right along side it. Nintendo I'm begging you make another one of these

[@Rukiaにちは]

you know that a song is good even if is good in backwards

[@LoveFooledChild]

I haven't even played Skyward Sword yet I'm crying while listening to this and my heart is racing. I love this so much and this proves how magical all Zelda games are.

[@Chroma7777]

Sometimes, everything in life is going wrong, and its always a wonderful feeling if you escape to Hyrule, just by listening to this awesome song.

[@xionmario2258]

True wahr I am Bad a english

[@folcrons]

The best music in zelda's existence, this is the start of the story we were taught, this is the start of adventure...THIS IS THE START OF EXPLORATION AND EPIC BATTLES

[@bluenation2119]

Despite games like Ocarina being revolutionary for their times, Skyward Sword will always be my all time favorite game. Skyward Sword had real characters, with personality. I even liked motion controls. Fight me!

[@mikiblaze6413]

It’s my favourite game too

[@binablob]

IKR!! zelda and link has a personality! and all the other characters are so iconic

[@isaacnuketon]

HD SKYWARD SWORD HYPE

[@alantrahan24601]

This is my favorite soundtrack in any Zelda game. Possibly in any Nintendo game, with the exception of classics like Mario, etc. It makes me want to go save someone from a burning building or whatever. One of the most heroic ballads that I've ever had the privilege to listen to. I wish all game soundtracks were written as well as this.

[@Mel-tj4xs]

WHERE ARE THE FANS WHO ARE HERE BC THE NEW SS HD SWITCH VERSION? AAAA

[@zavics]

Probably the most hated Zelda title, but it still has a special place in my heart...

[@rithrius5384]

I just want them to remake this exact game with decent controls. That is the one major reason why people dislike it.

[@zavics]

@@rithrius5384 yeah I kinda think the same

[@vdun]

@@rithrius5384 The game got a remake in 2021… Can even be played without motion controls

[@WalaSTH]

I love Skyward Sword and I can't wait for this new Zelda for the Wii U

[@ithebinman]

done talk about the wii U... it still gives me nightmares

[@davidh3377]

Luke Adams How dare you hater!

[@N1ko0L]

SS was the last good zelda game ( F*CK YOU WII U)

[@nagynator3372]

Maciel Salguero Zelda U . Awesome!!!

[@daviddanielian9525]

Maciel Salguero I swear if the name stays as Zelda U I will cry.

[@claucolato8261]

I still can't believe how a big saga like The Legend of Zelda has so many GOOD THEMES in EVERY title. 😭💞

[@christhomas3035]

And now it returns this march, it’s child with botw. It will be a miracle of a game.

[@Anglebropez]

This is to me one od the best Zelda games of all time, surpassed only by Majoras Mask and The Wind Waker.

[@ClownCollegeReject]

what about Ocarina?

[@Anglebropez]

CharizardCommander Ocarina is amazing and it is a masterpiece, but as far as Zelda games go it's a little overrated to me.

[@ClownCollegeReject]

really I thought it was amazing truly one of my favs, I wasn't a fan of Majora's personally. but to each their own

[@Snowmadboy]

CharizardCommander That is possibly the most polite disagreement about Zelda on the internet.

[@Anglebropez]

***** I thought the motion controls were awsome but I would see why people would dislike them, and I my self am also very happy to going back to traditional controls. What's you're favorite Zelda game?

[@joshua6994]

I am so ready for Skyward Sword HD to release.

[@catalan500_8]

Every pluck of the harp, plucks at my own heart strings as well 😭

[@nesssaysok2497]

Who remembers those nights playing Skyward Sword

[@user-yl4ty8cq8w]

I believe the ALBW milk bar is only in hero mode for this song

[@Andrew.Mac0007]

Who's here after Skyward Sword HD was announced? HYPE LET"S GO

[@BasementDweller_]

Skyward Sword will always be my favorite.

[@HannaLivingston]

It seems so recent that I was incredibly excited for the first fully orchestrated Zelda game, and one of the first games with a recorded orchestra PERIOD. Can't believe it's been 10 years since this masterpiece. What a great game and OST. I'm getting nostalgic over this, the first piece I ever heard from a game that made me see bigger and better possibilities in video game music composition (which I am now studying and hope to make my career).

[@markz132]

Coming here after the HD remake is Amazing

[@DAIEDRO]

I'm here on Zelda 35! HD version is coming to Switch! Can't wait for this.

[@nickprince9119]

Skyward sword and Twilight princess were the best Legend of Zelda’s hands down 🙏🏼✨ Miss this era

[@williamyochum9211]

For me, it'd be TP, BOTW, then SS in that order as the best Zeldas

[@pkyt2458]

I'm currently playing TP and I absolutely love it

[@GreatSageGoku]

It makes me smile whenever i hear this awesome song here! Music to my ears... literally!

[@simperorbubba_link8441]

Everytime I listen to this, I imagine a montage of link killing every enemy, and that makes me emotional so easily

[@user-yd3sd8kr2g]

スカウォがゼルダシリーズで初めてした作品。 すぐ世界観に引き込まれたし、早期購入特典?のCDとかもう何回聴いたかっていうレベルで聴いた。もう神作すぎる最高。

[@ZeldaMeister]

This is literally a masterpiece

[@aarontrinh3603]

What creeps me out about this song is that if played backwards, its Zelda's lullaby... 0-0

[@RaiderNic99]

They created The Ballad of the Goddess by playing Zelda's Lullaby backwards. That's how Koji Kondo came up with the song. Makes sense if you know Skyward Swords story and who Zelda is.

[@aarontrinh3603]

Ty for the info! I do understand Skyward Sword and Zelda, and now it makes sense. hahahaha. Koji is a genius

[@aarontrinh3603]

Lion_Turtle actually, I'm wondering how people knew to play this backwards? I mean did someone just go like: "lets play this song backwards cuz im bored". How did they even find this? did they give any hints about this song being played backwards?

[@RaiderNic99]

Aaron Trinh That I have no idea about. I know someone from Nintendo, possibly Koji Kondo came out and said it is Zelda's Lullaby backwards but I don't remember if that was before or after someone had already found it. I could kind of hear it before anyone even mentioned it. They reuse a lot of Zelda music actually. More than most people realize because some of it sounds completely different backwards.

[@aarontrinh3603]

Ty for the info, was just wondering if it was a coincidence that someone may have found this out before they announced it :D
