LoZ SS game play (& thoughts)

[queenzelda]

I actually I pre-reserved my copy of the collectors edition @ Gamestop & picked it up about afew hours ago. I've been playing on it straight since I got it. xp

The wiimotion controls are really well done. It takes some time to get used to using the sword but once you do it's really neat. Also when Link finally is able to get control of flying the bird it reminds me a lot of when I was controlling the flying bird pokemon in the game Pokepark. The controls are about the same seeing as you have to move the wiimotion plus from side to side in order to move the bird from left to right. But (unlike in Pokepark) when your controlling the bird & you want to get it higher in the sky you have to jiggle the wiimote up & down.

Also in this installment Link has a stamina bar. It's kind of neat, but be careful not to run it out.. He needs to rest for a bit in order to get him moving again, still it's nice to see this included.

Something else is when you save you have to save at a bird stature, not at the map location like with past Zelda games..

I've fought a few monsters thus far..

Spoiler

I've so far fought a bunch of keese & a few slime's. I don't really remember there being slime's that are blue in prior zelda's but now there are.

Also when you first start the game & you have to collaborate the wiimotion plus with the game by laying it buttons down on a flat surface, once done the game then prompts you to point the wiimotion plus at the middle of the screen & hit A. It's not so bad, but if you leave & come back with the screen saying it's lost sync with the Wiimotion plus you have to sync it again. Idk I think maybe this could have been avoided, but maybe I'm dreaming that.

Still I've now played about 3 hours (or so) straight on this title & apparently Skyloft is a different place at night. I'm at the point where I can either decide to stick around & check out Skyloft during the night time hours.. Or dive down through the (taint) clouds & check out the land bellow..

Oh yea.. So you know in Baiten Kaitos the hero's had to go through the taint clouds in order to get down to the land; where as with Skyward Sword: how Link can get to the land bellow is a tad different.

I'll post more of my thoughts on this game as I play through it. ;3

I know it got A LOT of 10/10's from reviews...

I kinda wanna try it--but I don't really want to rent a copy(don't trust rentals, OH---and there's like NO more Blockbusters in my area, and I don't do Gamefly)...

Oh yea this is by far a very immerse Zelda game. The sword Link gets before going down to the surface; my husband & I have deemed to nick name 'swoid' xD Cause the 'spirit of the sword' reminds us of a droid. So since it comes with a part of the sword we came up with that nickname for her instead of the 'designated name' given. xp

I just got

the slingshot

after I finished helping out

Spoiler

the Kweeki(?sp) elder

& I plan to go

Spoiler

back up to Skyloft & use it to get a bug net from Beedle's airshop. So apparently Beetle makes his return from the Windwaker Series in this game, which is fine by me. xD

Yea I can see myself playing this game many, many times over seeing as I can easily

Spoiler

go from Skyloft, down to any place I've visited on the 'surface' world below. Something else that's funny is that in essence Link's sword is basically his 'scan visor' as Fei can tell Link any information about any monster he 'z targets'. It's kind of funny having link with a 'scan visor' feature but I kinda like it. :3

Everything I've spoilered; is featured in this game. I'm trying not to spoil this game too much for ppl who don't want spoilers.. But I also want some insight from some one who's been playing; in order for them to decide for themselves weather or not they want to investion buying this game.

I say get it, but honestly: I'm a HUGE Zelda fan & I've played every Zelda game known to man shot of the CDi game. XD

This game keeps on getting better. My favorite boss fight so far is the 6 armed statue guardian, I forgot his name.

btw there has been blue slimes in Wink Waker but Fi says they're green.

sorry if i place a spoiler on here but be careful on the boss where you get the second flame its like a giant octopus thing where you need to shoot it in the eye and cut of all of its tentacles using the skyward strike.

but over all ss is amazing i have played it for about 25 hours and i haven't even had it for a week yet it is a week tommorow

That boss was real weird looking and ugly.
