Skyward Sword - Uncivil Synopsis

I always wanted to know what happened in this game but never had the patience to finish it. I can now continue to live my life never playing it.

[@mache4748]

great video! Your content is really underrated. I had skyward sword as a kid, but I couldn't get past the second dungeon...looks like I missed out. Anyways, I had a good laugh with this video, so merry Christmas hypercharge!

[@julsmanbr8152]

Completely agree with your points. Motion controls never really bugged me, but I lost interest in the game when I noticed how repetitive and limited the exploration is. The sky feels like a glorified select-a-level screen from a Mario game. I dropped it when it started to ask me to return to the same places I'd already been to, which is a shame since there are definitely some cool mechanics in the game like shield forging.

Ah Yess, I love HyperCharge's humor and tone of everything. Glad to see he kept it here for a funny video. As big of a Zelda nerd as I am, I'll admit I do think Skyward Sword is a rather weak entry. However I think Phantom Hourglass takes the spot as my least favorite.

[@Maru-dm7rh]

Yesss, new Hypercharge video! What a christmas present!

[@Mattyboy-dn4oo]

I remember when the quarantine got started, I wanted to go back and play through a bunch of old Zelda titles. This was my second play through of SS. I remember feeling drained at the long beginning, but then the moment I finished fighting the Imprisoned, I finally realized the heavy flaws that this game had. I realized the needless backtracking that I would have to do and the excessive padding along with it. I couldn’t bring myself to play through this a second time so I called it quits. Hopefully they address this in the remaster

[@richardgurney1844]

Exact same I played Skyward Sword when it came out and LOVED it! ...and then a year or so later when I replayed it, it was kinda boring. I dragged myself through it and got to the Song of the Hero section of the game when I finally called it quits I have since tried to beat the game 2 or 3 more times since then - but I can't. Not because it's hard (hell no, it's rather easy) but because EVERYTHING is the exact same as it was last time. I wasn't doing anything slightly differently than before - because the game is so linear and limits exploration

[@brandonmarrone1735]

Why does this not have more views?? Not only is it hilarious, but a pretty decent review as well.

Despite the fact Skyward Sword is my 5th favourite Zelda just behind Link's Awakening, Wind Waker, Majora's Mask and Breath of the Wild, this video was hilarious!

[@BrickArtsGames]

It's funny, to me the biggest problem with the game was not the motion controls (still hate them) but it was the goddamn BACKTRACKING. Flying back and forward got really tiered some fast.

[@HMMadsen]

I agree with the problems in Skyward Sword, that you presented. However, there are some more stuff in this games, which just decreased my enjoyment of Skyward Sword. The Imprisoned, and the 4 trails. The Imprisoned was a fine, challenging (I hadn't really gotten used to the motion controls yet) boss, but the electrical stamps at its last life made it to hard and annoying to hit its toes. Then in the second fight, it'll just stamp with its electrical stamps all the time! At that point I decided to jump on its head and strike its "pillar" (I don't know what to call it) down. It worked, for the most part. I would swing my Wii remote up and and then strike it down on the pillar, but my Wii remote would sometimes read my upwards swings as a strike, so that I would hit the pillar from the bottom and not the top. The third fight was like the second but just harder, and I still struggled a bit with the controls (it was first when I was hunting for the pieces of the Hero's song, that the controls started to click for me, since defeating The Imprisoned in the Boss Rush was now a cake walk)! The 4 trails are absolute trash and are much worse than the the Tears of Light hunt from Twilight Princess. In Twilight Princess could you collect the Tears in your own pace, but in Skyward Sword is it necessary to do it as fast fast as you possibly can, or else comes the guardians after you, and if they catch you, then you have to do all over again! The first trail just frustrated me so much, that I looked up a walkthrough for the remaining 3, and I still had some trouble with it! The Trials should just have been dungeons with the themes of Courage, Power and Wisdom (like the last dungeon) instead of what we got. Nintendo, if you ever make Skyward Sword HD, then cut that shit out. Skyward Sword is the worst 3D Zelda game I have played. While there are parts I really love about Skyward Sword, such as the story, characters and music, the bad just outweigh the good. Take all the negatives you presented, such as collecting the 3 stone pieces/flames/song pieces, and add the 4 trails and the 3 Imprisoned fights, then Skyward Sword just felt more like a checklist of shit I had to do, than an awesome adventure like the other Zelda games.

[@ddgaming9717]

I love skyward and this is just hilarious 😂 😃 😄 I'm glad I found you been going thru all your videos

[@SteveNorwalt]

I can get past the motion controls--I'd prefer not to have them, but I can deal. I can even grudge through the revisiting and backtracking stuff. What keeps me from playing through this game again is the slow, unskippable text boxes, 90% of which being Fi telling you shit you already know. You can't even ignore her, because if you try to, she lets out this constant, high pitched beep that pierces your ear drums until they bleed...or you answer her. It's like when you're a kid and you continuously call out "mom" until she yells at you to SHUT THE HELL UP! (search "stewie mom" here on KZbin to know what I mean). If they give this game an HD remake, even with motion sticking around, I could easily get into it if they remove her nonsense and make all text boxes either instant scroll, or let me push a button to force it to go quicker.

[@Broockle]

I wanted the Hylian Shield but defeating the giant octopus in the Boss Rush Challenge was so annoying. Half the time I just couldn't get the swing right and it made the battle a lot more frustrating that it needed to be. That battle I think is the worst example for the motion controls.

[@AdventureHusky]

Thank Hylia, now I never have to paly this game. Now its time to find Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass cause Hylia knows I'm never playing those.

[@ChipRobertsOfficial]

The more I think about it, the more I realize how much I actually enjoyed the dungeons in this game. Such a shame that the whole game insults the player's intelligence all the while forcing them into pandering motion controls.

[@revibe6298]

An underrated issue about this game is how boring and limited the combat options are. Its just careful swings and shield attacks. Thats it.

[@sunnyglowvt]

Holy shit thank you for this recap

[@adinolfi7279]

I actually really like Skyward Sword, or at least I really enjoyed my first playthrough of it. Although it's the only Zelda game where I returned for another playthrough and I got burnt out from it and never continued. And I have replayed pretty much every other Zelda game at least three-four times and have enjoyed and completed them each time. So that might be saying something ...

[@monicamartins4105]

when I first finished skyward sword I wondered why I didn't like it as much as I thought I would but when I saw this video I was like oh... it really does suck ass. but honestly couldn't get enough of this video I've watched it so many times it's hilarious

[@ArcticWolf135420]

been waiting for this video ☺ didnt want to buy the wiiplus when i was a younger + didnt wanna watch a playthrough. HYPEST SHIT EVER!

[@RealClassixX]

Skyward Sword is probably my favorite game. Not Zelda game. Game in general.

[@AlecEburhard]

What’s your opinion of the HD port on the Switch?

[@HyperCharge]

I haven't played it yet, but the new control scheme seems way better then the motion controls.

[@AlecEburhard]

@@HyperCharge for the most part, but spin attacks and fatal blows are harder in hand-held mode. That’s a shame because I felt the spin attack was the best in SS. I only have a Switch Lite so I have no choice but hand-held mode. Also, to be fair, I hear the switch joycons are way better than the Wii remotes. Also toning down Fi and making the intro streamlined was a huge blessing

[@Christopher-md7tf]

Finally, somebody who hated "playing" the harp as much as me lol. The only instrument worse than that was the fucking flute in Spirit Tracks, truly asinine.

[@phanboy8059]

I swear to god I completely lost it at 13:32. I laughed so hard I got tears in my eyes. XD

[@hypnotic13371337]

DID YOU KNOW? The motion controls for Skyward Sword DON'T use the sensor bar? It uses the position of the wiimote from the angle you calibrated it/re aligned it

[@HyperCharge]

I'm fully aware of that, since a lot of the aiming is actually worse than the Wii version of Twilight Princess. The sensor bar controls were so pin point accurate that it's honestly a giant step down to only relying on the Gyroscope. I'm only talking about the controls regarding the combat in the video, because that's really the only frustrating part. In the grand scheme of things, having a button dedicated to re-calibrating your controller when the controls aren't working properly is ridiculous. Imagine if you had to re-calibrate an analog stick every 30 minutes because they weren't aligned properly. In that situation, most people would think that their controller is just straight up broken. The whole argument for and against the motion controls are completely two different arguments to begin with. Some people like the motion controls because they work pretty well, while others just hate motion controls regardless. That's kind of the point I tried to make during my video. I think that they work pretty well, but I hate motion controls in just about every video game I ever played. The best cases for motion controls are when they're used on the side for slightly more accuracy, like the sensor bar aiming controls in Twilight Princess, and slightly using gyroscope aiming to increase your accuracy, like Wind Waker HD or Splatoon. That's kind of my take on it.

[@Travis7060312]

I'm not some sort of puritan or anything but saying fuck and shit a lot doesn't really count for comedy. Besides that this was a very entertaining video and super insightful.

[@slenderfoxx3797]

I still haven't played this game and I actually really wanna get it.

[@MsHorsefreakforever]

I absolutely love Skyward Sword and this made me laugh my ass off

[@ElRicardoMan]

These reviews are great!

[@thedeadlyune]

To be fair. Link DOES live in an island on the sky where everything is perfect and all that shit. He's lived up there his whole life, so how the fuck is he supposed to know what Desserts, forests, and volcanoes are?

[@HyperCharge]

It's not like it's a super big deal, but it just annoys you the longer you play the game. Whenever Fi pops out of Link's sword and tell you something, all I can think is, "Did she really need to say that?". Most of the time the answer is no. Link from Ocarina of Time never set foot outside of Kokiri Forest either and Navi never bothers you about the small details you could just pick up by yourself.

[@thedeadlyune]

HyperCharge That's true. If Fi had an actual personality in the game, I may have enjoyed that bit of dialogue. If you've played Phantom Hourglass, I enjoyed how Celia or Linebeck always had some kind of output or opinion on a lot of things. Fi doesn't do this. She acts more like a computer, which was likely intended.

[@HyperCharge]

You kind of have to think about what the whole reason the companions are in the game in the first place. The main reason they exist is to help the player out whenever they get stuck or don't remember what their suppose to do. Some of the best companions in Zelda are usually the ones with the least amount of screen time, who usually interrupt the game the least. The King of Red Lions from the Wind Waker is a bit boring when compared to Midna from Twilight Princess, but he actually does a better job at guiding the player with the least amount of dialogue.

[@WWammyy]

The game was not bad I liked the Swordplay but the game has other problems like only 3 different types of environment, more collectemup quests than Donkey Kong 64 and that stupid boss key. Also not keen on the Goddess harp that was kind of shoehorned in on the Zelda Ocarina of time template

[@Katie-hb8iq]

The song of the hero was probably the worst part of the game. I actually liked almost everything before that - the areas were kind of like mini-dungeons and the actual dungeons were pretty cool. The time ship dungeon and ancient cistern were pretty awesome. But that song of the hero... it completely drags down the game. I can even forgive the bloated tutorial, but the Song of the Hero should have been cut. Collecting the notes or recollecting your items was the biggest bullshit. Games don't need to be long to be better.

I found Skyward Sword to be the only zelda game I legitamatly enjoyed. Next up being Twilight Princess, which i still am yet to actually complete.

I always go into zelda games expecting an good challenge and a solid combat sustem because of how similar the combat is to an extent. I really want to play BoTW but Im not shelling out 250$ for one game.
