If I remember correctly, using the bow against Ghirahim only results in the arrows bouncing off his chest.

This was the first zelda game I ever played, and i recently went back and played it a second time because i remember it being do fun. It was more fun the second time because I was better at the puzzles and the motion controls.

Liz same i love SWS and I almost beat the game until my ex deleted my save file, then I lost motivation. I’ve been telling my brother that I would love if they remade SWS and TP on the switch with motion controls with the joycons or maybe even have an option where you choose if you want motion controls or play normally.

@@blazeykin3780 yeah, I actually enjoy the wii motion controls for SS, though I understand I'm in the minority. When I played SS for the first time, I remember also hating the controls but it turned out my wii motion plus remote was defective and as soon as I switched to a new one, it was smooth sailing! It is challenging to learn the swordplay at first, but I really love the unique challenge and I find it makes the game more immersive (even though some people find the opposite to be true)

[@sc0rpi0nspoison]

Who else thinks Skyward Sword is, despite popular belief, a pretty damn good Zelda title? Not the best, but definitely not the worse. It is by no means "bad". Personally it was one of the Zeldas i was the most excited for upon release and I enjoyed it. Most of the community doesn't think it fits in with the rest of the titles because of stupid nitpicks like a lack of day-night cycle, link's facial design, its creation of the timeline, etc. If anything, BotW fits the least into the series of all the mainline titles because of its inclusion of a vast open world, weapon condition, usage of non-sword weapons, questing system, etc.But by no means did that stop the game from getting the most praise of any title since OoT. SS is simply the Nickelback of the Zelda series. People love to hate it for dumb reasons even tho it's really pretty good overall

[@murdokdracul]

I agree, except I'd probably rate it higher than you. It went in the opposite direction to what most fans wanted at the time (which was basically BotW) but an open-world Zelda wouldn't have been remotely possible on the Wii, and Skyward Sword pulled off what it was actually trying to do expertly, except for the annoying hand-holding. While I love BotW's open world, I also love Skyward Sword's linear world because it offers the most tightly designed dungeon-style gameplay (even outside of dungeons) in the series. By the way, people always say Nintendo suddenly created the Zelda timeline in 2011 after never caring about it previously, but that's completely untrue. There were so many developer quotes, as well as clues in the games themselves, that showed they were always aware of at least the general structure of the timeline. I'd say they came up with the "Decline Timeline" idea a good many years before they revealed it.

[@aryan1985]

I agree. It’s in my top 3 Zelda games. (I’ve only played a couple but still it’s in the top 3)

[@sc0rpi0nspoison]

@@murdokdracul Yeah i totally agree. It's definitely in my top 10, maybe even 5, and yeah for what they could do on the wiis hardware they really threw in the whole pantry. Even though i do really BotW, when i think back to what the game represents, its just this huge turning point for the series as a whole and i hope after BotW2 is over with that they go back to the traditional zelda style with linear stories, minimal side questing, and our wholesome, expressive, sword weilding hero in green clad. People will say that nintendo cant do that because it will seem "boring" and "basic" in comparison. I beg very dearly to differ. The zelda format is what REALLY drew me into the series, had it been like BotW, i can't really say the same. As for the timeline, yeah of course it was an idea for quite some time, even as far back as OoT and possibly sooner, but OoT at the latest. People should chill with the idea that there was never a general direction nintendo wanted to head in. Clearly they didn't think it 100% through, since they are even now changing the orientation of it, but it they obviously had a direction before it was officially announced. People just come up with reasons to complain about stuff that is unnecessary to complain about

[@smallj900]

Skyward Word is my #1 Zelda game

[@TheQuashingoftheTub]

I think the only flaw is the rather... flawed story. Everythong else seems to play perfectly. Sure it's painfully linear, but the idea of each area being like a temple in and of itself, requiring puzzles and quick thinking to open up the locations more and more is one of the many things I love about Skyward Sword. That, and the temples themselves.

[@MLennholm]

I really missed playing this game and I am sad Skyward Sword HD for the Switch shut down but I am really hoping for newer Zelda games this year because I'm a huge fan of The Legend of Zelda

What do you mean by SS HD shut down?

I adore this series. Every game feels SO different, but there are references, themes, and iconography that connect them into one cohesive journey. Awesome video Zeltik!

Yet another solid, enjoyable video. I sometimes get lost on your channel just clicking more and more, great stuff!!

[@aidenfarrelly552]

Despite what some or most people say, Skyward Sword was an amazing game probably in my top 3 or 5

[@user-vm6ru9kn8q]

Underrated Game!!

[@Oehr64EatShitGoogle]

Nah, one of the worst zelda games to date. It was a chore throughout, empty and utterly repetitive. Compared to what it goes up against, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Link's Awakening, Wind Waker and so on, it is such a weak and forgettable title. Tho, it is still miles better than that CD-I trash and overall, it is an okay game, but not a good zelda game.

[@sapphirestar22]

Oehr64 Link’s Awakening doesn’t do anything better than Skyward Sword. Plus we can’t forget the strongest dungeon lineup in the series, strong boss fights, and a great, engaging, and memorable story

[@Oehr64EatShitGoogle]

As I said, not all is bad about the game. My main complaints are Fi (annoying handholding piece of rust), utterly bad pacing (e.g. dowsing, cutscenes containing Fi, stupid menial tasks that feel like filler content), empty worlds (desert was good tho!), lackluster sidequests and so on. Items, controls, dungeons were good. Also, LA contains great dungeons, a good story that departs from the Zelda formula, good pacing, an interesting and full world, a fantastic trading quest and so on. To me, SS doesn't evem come close to most other zelda titles. Obv those arent perfect either (e.g. tww triforce quest is a chore!), but still a lot better imo (there are other weak zelda titles roughly on par with SS, such as Phantom Hourglas)

[@lesbinyan]

Ooooi that lumly pumpkin easter egg has me shook!! I thought I recognized the people, or at most thought they looked familiar (since TP was my first Zelda game) and that's so cool they're a reference to the Resistance! Nice one! ~nya

just wanna say, i used your video when I study. funnily enough, your voice combine with a very articulated naration makes it easier for me to concentrate on my study. its kind of similar to asmr, but more because the constant pitch you used makes it... kind of nice i guess? lol but hey, i got great score AND a great zelda's related info from you (all your videos are really top notch!) I haven't personally play zelda's game but every discussion that you came up with really intrigues me to play them all lol anywho, love your videos! thanks for being my study patner haha😆

[@ericahess7508]

I'll always love being able to distract Ganondorf with the fishing rod in Twilight Princess and Demise with the bug net in Skyward Sword. There's just something about how anticlimactic they are that make them hilarious.

[@Hyrule_Warrior]

The most underrated game of all time

[@lazeddonut]

haha.

[@arseniccatnip9040]

Wish I had a wiimote so I could emulate it. God I miss this game

[@canisdivinus6218]

I agree that it gets criticized a little too harshly. I have a suspicion that if it were made without motion controls it would be much more fondly remembered. People complain about backtracking, I loved that you get to revisit some dope areas, all the gods they show really help add to the lore and we have some great characterization for characters like Zelda and groose. I've seen people say the sky is really bare of anything to do and while I agree, no Zelda game has been really known for that. The great sea was relatively bare, hyrule field as well. Overall I think its fantastic and while its not in my top 5 zelda games, nonetheless it is fantastic and is absolutely deserving of more praise.

With traditional controls. Hell yes. I don’t understand why Nintendo won’t do SS along with WW and TP. It’s easy money for them.

[@sillycitrus]

@@songoku9348 honestly though, and also the only reason i could see nintendo not putting TP and WW on switch is because they already have remakes but still, they deserve to be on switchhh

Maybe they are waiting for 35th anniversary which is next year. A bit like what they are doing with all the Mario remakes that are coming soon.

[@crabman2123]

#1: the main character of skyward sword, looks very similar to almost all the protagonists from the zelda series. this is most likely a nod to the fact that he is the protagonist of a zelda game

Surely the net reflecting the beams is more a reference to the bug net reflecting Agahnim's beams in A Link to the Past?

[@alicetakanawa7288]

I was really surprised that this one wasnt in here - the rare red loftwing that belongs to link is the origin of the red bird on the hylian shield. It's a really easy one to miss, but always present.

[@Supasmartguy]

Ganon and Demise are the same person with the same memories, and here's the proof: READ ALL OF IT!!!! Demise says "I will rise again" after cursing link (not "my hatred will rise again", But "I will rise again"), Ganondorf had the same hair and eyes as Demise when he burst from the rubble of the castle in ocarina of Time, the oil painting flashback scene in Skyward Sword shows Demise in a form that's eerily similar to dark beast Ganon in breath of the wild, and Zelda says that dark beast Ganon is "a pure embodiment of the ancient evil that is reborn time and time again.", Demise and Ganondorf have identical faces, theme music, and speech patterns, and Ganondorf even quoted part of the Demise's curse in twilight princess, (which he only could have known if he was the one who cast it), Ganon somehow knew about (and how to defeat or resurect) the ancient dragon volvagia, the Deku tree, and Jabu-jabu in Ocarina of time, maybe because he met them as Demise long ago, Koloktos and the cursed bokoblins from skyward sword are filled with malice identical to Ganon's malice in BOTW, the wound on Ganondorf's chest in twilight princess is identical to the one on Demise's forhead (which was caused as the imprisoned by a sword in the forehead, the same type of weapon that caused the wound in twilight princess), and link and Zelda reincarnate, so why not demise? As for Wind Waker Ganondorf being used as a piece of evidence against my theory, he could very well only be a Broken Man due to losing his people and powers and not having a kingdom to conquer, as for ganon not recognizing link in Ocarina of time being used as evidence against it, ganon also dosen't seem to recognize link in wind waker, twilight princess, or a Link to the past, probably because he knows link reincarnates and is just so unsurprised by his appearance to stop him that it looks like he doesn't recognize him when, in fact, he does. As for demise being sealed in the sword and decaying being used as a piece of evidence against it, it could only be his body decaying, which is not that big a leap in logic when you think about it, and ganon has escaped seals tons of times, so why couldn't he escape one extra time? DISAGREE WITH THAT!!!!!!😏😈

[@s0metimeslucy7]

i thought this was just common knowledge, no?

[@SirPonnd]

From my understanding, Demise is the source of all evil in the Zelda universe. So, all evil things are a part of demise that has been reincarnated, which includes Ganon. So I would say that you're not wrong. It's just that Ganon's only a piece of Demise, as opposed to a traditional reincarnation.
