Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword [SPOILERS]

My final verdict on this game:

Good:

 Spoiler

Bossfights were tight and fun. Final battle was pretty challenging, at least for a Zelda game. For reference I never died even once in TP.

Dungeons had clever puzzles and did not feel too lenghty.

The silent realms was a nice touch to give some challange that was not based on the combat itself.

Story was great. Just great.

Deeper characters development than ever before in a Zelda game. And it was great too.

The upgrade sytem was a good addition, but they could have made more use of it.

Ghirahim. That really says it all.

Bad:

 Spoiler

They used the same few monsters over and over through the whole game. Dull as hell.

The sky/overworld really sucked balls. It was more dead than the fields in TP.

The new "China/oriental" style design of the temples felt wrong. It is mostly a taste thing, but it just did not feel very Zelda-ish to me.

Side quests were pretty dull. Standard stuff mostly, and that is not a good thing for Zelda. The haunted restroom was amazing though. x)

No Epona and no massive fields. The butt ugly Loftwing and flying could not match exploring and firing arrows mounted on trusty Epona.

The music. They could have done so much, but they did so very little. The ballad of the goddess was friggin fantastic, but the in game music did not really fly at all.

Demise true form felt a little out of place. Might be because he looks like a complete rip off of the Street Fighter character Akuma.

A good game to be sure, but not even close to what i experienced the first time I played A link to the Past or Ocarina of Time.
