The greatest version of Zelda is found in Skyward Sword.
Buckle up, this is going to be a long one. At the same time, I despised a slew of design and gameplay decisions that I had never thought of criticizing in any previous Zelda major game. Now I fully see why this game has such a polarizing fan base. Even though the $59.99 price tag was ridiculous (it’s Nintendo, after all they had us pay $60 for three Mario ROMs), the prospect of being able to play this game with various control choices and on the move was too appealing to pass up. I was very excited to play this game and see why fans were so divided about it, especially since reviewers had earlier hailed it as the second coming of the messiah.
It was a nice surprise to learn about a Switch remaster. I was aware that it was widely regarded as the most controversial Zelda game ever, with equal numbers of fans and detractors. It simply sat there, waiting for me to play it, despite the fact that I wasn’t in the mood for a ridiculously long adventure with obligatory motion controls in the year 2016. I was one of only four people on the planet who didn’t own a Wii back in the day, and I didn’t feel like repurchasing one on the Wii U years later. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was the only “mainline” Zelda game I hadn’t played before taking on this Switch edition.
