Fun:   
This game is a prequel to all of the other Zelda games in which we find Link is a trainee knight of Skyloft, a town floating high above the clouds where Zelda is not yet a Princess. This is a unique and original adventure that intentionally tries to break apart from the franchise trend.

The sword is Motion-Plus genius in that what you do in real life is exactly mirrored on screen -- in combat there is a perfect 1:1 balance I have not seen in any other wii game. You can wave your sword around while waiting for an opening to strike or just flail it around with perfect precision. Nearly every enemy requires a specific sword technique to defeat it - although there aren't a ton of enemies in this game, each one offers a unique challenge.

Each item is quickly enabled with the remote so there is not much pausing to go through menu pages. Aiming with the slingshot or bow is much easier since you are using the wii motion-plus. Occasionally the controls will be slightly off, but a quick downward tap of the d-pad resets the pointer.

While there are only 3 unique worlds, you find yourself going back to these worlds repeatedly throughout the game as you gain new tools to unlock different areas. You are also able to freely go back to Skyloft to buy items, assist townspeople and do many other quests.

The dungeons are unique and flow naturally. In previous games, dungeons were basically designed for one item, but not this time -- you must use many items in every quest, which makes for a nice challenge and improves upon the level design.

Music is always central in a Zelda game, and Skyward Sword doesn't disappoint -- where Skyward Sword finally uses orchestral music for the first time. On a side note, the CD that comes with the game has songs covering the entire history of the series and is of high quality and production, but in all reality I likely won't play it more than once. Skyward Sword has been rendered using an art style that places it somewhere in between The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess and while that sounds weird, it is an improvement on the previous titles.

I have played for many hours already and knowing this is a 40+ hour game is all the more satisfying knowing that I got my money's worth. (I actually received the game Saturday 11/19 after pre-ordering from Wal-mart). Also, the gold remote is awesome, as you might have guessed.

Yes, there are minor quibbles to be had with motion control inconsistencies, small variety of enemies, and occasional camera issues, but this is a masterpiece of modern gaming. This IS the game the WII was made for! Must buy. (9.8 / 10)

**** UPDATE 11/23/11 *****

I have just hit the 35 hour mark and have yet to actually beat the main adventure. This has been one of the most exciting games I have played in years!

Fun:   
My kids will do anything to play this game. Dishes? Sure, mom. Clean your room? Already done. Practiced the piano early this morning, mom. And vacuumed. In other words, they love it and so do I. My husband has loved every Zelda since the first and this is no exception. And they have a hard time getting me to play too, but I have to admit this game design is FUN! Flying is fun. Swinging a sword using the Wii controller (which is even sensitive to how your wrist is turned!) while targeting/shielding with the nunchuck is FUN! Even the training levels are fun. The story is fun, too. True, the Wii can't compare with HD graphics of the Xbox 360, but that doesn't mean the art is not beautifully rendered. I like that this world is light and bright and fresh-feeling. Nicer than the dark, shadowy feel of the last game.

And now for the extras. Can I say the soundtrack CD is amazing!?! I can't believe what effort went into that. Full-on orchestral soundtrack and these songs are gorgeous! No midi nothin' here. I was a little worried my son was going to be listening to beepity songs all day, but I am a music teacher and spend a fair amount of time listening to (and analyzing) classical music, and this soundtrack lacks nothing. It's may favorite part of the bundle. Other than the kids doing all their jobs before they've been asked. And their dad sneaking them out of bed to come play Zelda with him late at night. (Wait, that part is not my favorite, but it is theirs.) The gold controller is also a pretty cool little bonus for Zelda fans.

Anyway, if you're wondering if this is the one Wii game to get your family for Christmas, the answer is a resounding yes! And get the bundle - you won't regret it.

Zelda Lovers Rejoice! November 18, 2011
Fun:   
Zelda. Is. BACK!

Disclaimer: I'm a HUGE Zelda fan and have every game that has been created, including those on the DS :). So I was very excited to get my hands on the new Skyward Sword. Let's break this down, shall we?

STORY LINE: For me one of the more important parts of playing a Zelda game is the story line. Unlike a Mario game (and we love Mario in this house), the Zelda stories tend to be pretty indepth, with plenty of little hidden secrets here and there. This story is solid. I love that you see Link and Zelda together at the beginning of the game - that hasn't happened in awhile, not this way, and I love that there is still that little romantic spark between them, even though Link often seems oblivious to it. The idea of having two separate worlds, the one in the clouds and the one on earth, is intriguing and gives you plenty of places to explore! Also back, and fun, are the side quests! Newest feature that I like? The Bazaar. At the Bazaar you can get weapons, potions, your fortune read (is it a man or woman? You guess!), and you can even get your weapons fixed or upgraded or your potions tweaked and upgraded as well! A very fun optional part that makes the game even more of a time suck LOL.

GAME PLAY: Now this is one thing I was looking forward to. I got Twilight Princess for the Gamecube - before we got a Wii - so I never got the Wii version. I'm kind of glad I didn't because this way I didn't have anything to compare it to. The game play for Skyward Sword so far in my gaming seems to be great. You utilize both the wiimote and the nunchuck - the nunchuck to move around the the wiimote to access your belongings, get in touch with your guide (who, by the way, I'm hoping will come out as hot as Midna in the end), and of course to use your weapons. Drawing the sword out of the stone is always one of those occasions in a Link game where you get a few little shivers. With Skyward Sword it's more then that, as you're actually drawing it out of the stone with your wiimote and holding it up to the sky. It had a little vibe of He-Man with the whole "I have the power" thing, but it was very cool.

AND I'm also happy to announce that there are new tools/weapons! My son's favorite is the flying beetle - he's handy too - but I love that you are truly controlling everything using the wiimote. Gets a bit annoying when you're trying to snag an insect with your net, but it's much more realistic, which is, I'm guessing, what designers were after with this title.

GRAPHICS: Anyone who owns a wii knows that you don't own it because of graphics, but the graphics for Skyward Sword are pretty decent. Now they're not up to the Xbox standard of graphics, but the graphics are good enough that you don't sit there saying, "wow, these graphic suck." And the animation scrolls flawlessly so that you can keep your mind focused on the game instead of focusing on glitches.

CON: The only con I've seen so far is camera control. You can either push C to look around (kinda freaky when you're straight over the edge of the island looking down into the clouds), or you can push Z to automatically adjust where you're looking. I found myself wishing that I could use the Wiimote to control where I was looking as I do on some first-person shooter games, but obviously that wouldn't work because it's your sword and weapon hand, so while the camera control is a bit annoying, I honestly don't see any other way the designers could have handled the situation.

OVERALL: An amazing game. From the story line to the graphics, Skyward Sword definitely lived up to my expectations, and I've been waiting for it since it was first announced!! I love that you can fly in the game, and when designers said that they tried to change up the game play so that it's not just about getting to the next dungeon anymore, they meant it. Everyone in my household either loves playing it or loves watching it, and that's one thing that we all love about Zelda games - they're almost as much fun to watch as they are to play. Almost. Nintendo, thanks for this - we'll be playing it and trying to uncover its secrets for a long time!
