The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword offers a grand, sweeping adventure that explores the origins of the Master Sword and the enduring bond between Link and Zelda. Its vibrant impressionistic art style and focus on motion-controlled swordplay create a unique experience. However, the game suffers from pacing issues, some overly repetitive areas, and a sometimes intrusive companion character. Despite its flaws, Skyward Sword's epic story, clever dungeon design, and memorable boss battles still make it a compelling journey for Zelda fans.

I really like a lot of little things in this game. I don't think the separate overworlds for each region that are more like one big obstacle course instead of a cohesive world are very good, though. Some of the dungeons are pretty cool and there are a few memorable boss fights. I'm not actually one of the people who hates the motion controls. I'm pretty fine with them, other than the flying beetle never flying straight no matter how hard you try to center the remote.

This game is the one that really signaled that the series needed a really big mixup, though. The formula was getting very long in the tooth.

Now, buckle up, 'cause this is gonna be one heck of a review. Or not. Because, uh, honestly, I don't remember much about this game. Like, at all.

I mean, I know I played it. I think. There's a save file on my Wii that says I finished it. But ask me to recall a single memorable moment from the game? Yeah, good luck with that.

I vaguely remember something about flying on a giant bird? Or was it riding a sky whale? Honestly, your guess is as good as mine. And don't even get me started on the characters – were there even any? I think there was a princess involved, maybe?

But hey, it's not all bad. I mean, I must've enjoyed it enough to finish it, right? Or maybe I just have a stubborn streak when it comes to completing games, who knows?

So yeah, "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword" is... uh, a game. It exists. And I played it. Beyond that? Your guess is as good as mine. But hey, if you're into flying on giant birds and fighting... something, then maybe it's worth a shot. Or not. Who knows, really?
