It's dangerous to go alone! Take this!

Online tutorial: the golden horse should take a stamina wheel and a half, two at most :) you may need an elixir if you're unlucky

Me, who has THREE stamina wheels, drank two full elixirs and then overfilled my stamina wheel twice and STILL got bucked off: oh is that all

It has come to my attention that this is not a universal experience

I should play the og Zelda next

Ive been really wanting to play Adventure of Link lately out of nowhere

Throwback to the very first stupid braincell that got me obsessed with Adventure of Link

Attention first time skyward sword players!! I want to know your reactions so far and your opinions on the game/playablity! Maybe even seeing what you're looking forward to as the game progresses?

HELLO HI YES!!! Not to be over the top, but I think this is one of the most amazing Zelda games I've ever played.

I understand how the motion controls might not be a lot of people's thing, but boy, has it immersed me. I just love them. It keeps me on my toes! And the game itself is gorgeous. The colors are so vibrant, the characters are lively (both the npcs and the animals/enemies), the story is SO engaging, there's lots to do, and the SOUNDTRACK. THE SOUNDTRACK. Every track is catchy and unique, I'd expect nothing less from a Zelda game.

Not to mention, I'm sort of picky about a main character, and the amount of life put into them. Link in Skyward Sword is full of personality, and not just in dialog ('am I late?' The sass. I'm never getting over it.) He's so expressive, vividly showing happiness, anger, fear, determination, awe, not only in his face but in his body language, it's fantastic! The cutscenes especially really let this boy shine. You can really see the life in him.

The dungeons. The DUNGEONS. The atmosphere and layout of the Ancient Cistern and the Sandship especially were immaculate, but Skyview Temple and Lanayru Mining Facility were both noteworthy as well. Right now I'm at the Fire Sanctuary, so I haven't quite finished everything yet, but the game hasn't disappointed me yet. I hear Fi was a bit too hint heavy in the original, but I'm quite satisfied with her involvement as a companion in the hd playthrough. She's always there to give me a push in the right direction if I need her. (Even if I do prefer to solve the puzzles by myself most of the time. They're great puzzles!)

So far, I've been completing the main story and returning to Skyloft to upgrade and complete side quests in turns. I complete a dungeon, return to Skyloft, knock out a few side quests and collectibles, and then go get another dungeon and repeat. I think this has given me personally the best experience of this game, not too fast, not too slow, just leisurely. I do hope to complete most of the side quests by the time I finish the game.

One last thing. Groose is valid. LD-301S Scrapper is NOT.

Anyway! Thanks for letting me gush about this game. I think this is the most fun I've had in a while. It's definitely earned a place in my favorites.
