I'm hearing reviews that the HD Skyward Sword gives us pretty much what we want. The analog controls work pretty well but have a steep learning curve. Fi is a lot more tolerable. A lot of the tutorial can be skipped, yada yada.

It doesn't address my issue with the game which was that it was horrifyingly linear and kind of bloated. Would have been nice if the collection quests lowered how much of things you needed and some more freedom was given in what order you tackle things. (Or even for the imprisoned fights to be tweaked a bit) but I guess that's asking a lot.

One thing that would be easy to change is to get rid of the steep ramp right at the end of the Imprisoned's course. One time, I knocked him down when he was a few feet from the exit, but then he fell so that his body was lying parallel to the ground ten feet in the air, and so I wasn't able to get at his spike.

Nintendo Life put out a video comparing how long it takes to get out of Skyloft in each game.

I know a lot of this is because you can now skip cutscenes, but 15 minutes versus a little under 50 is a pretty good improvement.

Is it safe to say that Breath of the Wild will inevitably get a remake/remaster in 2027?

Loftwimg amiibo already sold out in Best Buy and $100+ on Amazon.

Plus, Nintendo made 7 of them for the entire planet.

[up][up] If they must, they better remake the remaining Game Boy/Game Boy Advance games first.

Ocarina of Time: 1998 - 2011
Majora’s Mask: 2000 - 2015
Wind Waker: 2002 - 2013
Twilight Princess: 2006 - 2016
Skyward Sword: 2011 - 2021
I would call it a safe bet we’ll see something around then, at the very least. Maybe not exactly 2027, but close enough.

I'd argue that would still be too recent for a BOTW remake, since that would put the game on the Switch 2 (or whatever the successor will be). But then I remember that Sony gave us The Last of Us Remastered for the PS4 a year after its PS3 release, and might be working on a remake for the PS5, so...

They're only going to remake titles if they know there is nostalgia for those titles and desire for better versions,I don't see them remaking Breath of the Wild for a looong time yet

have a listen and have a link to my discord server

Yeah, a BotW port is very likely for the next console, but a full remake? I doubt it.

ITT: People underestimating how far away 2027 actually is.

That’s still six years from now. We’ll probably be deep into the next system by then.

Someone should double check the Skyward Sword credits to see if Takashi Nagasako actually did voice Demise or if we have Common Knowledge on our hands. Every wiki lists him as the voice actor for Demise, but only Wikipedia has a source and that source link is utterly broken (not to mention potentially unreliable given that Wikipedia only takes secondary sources which may be in error).

Aelvir stated this:

Sadly this is not the case. He was only rumored to be voiced by him and was only voiced by Nagasaki in the beta as a placeholder (using recycled lines from Oo T), he was actually voiced by Tsuguo Mogami who is the voice of Shadis from Attack on Titan.

And also mentions that you will not find Takashi Nagasako in the credits at all.

Why aren't you that "someone", if you're that concerned about it?

[up] Speak of the devil.

Well, I decided to take matters into my own hands and looked at Zelda Wiki's page Skyward Sword's credits

In the voice section, we have...


Takashi Oohara
Yu Shimamura
Anri Katsu
Kenji Takahashi
Tsuguo Mogami
Rei Shimoda
Kei Hayami
Ayumi Fujimura
Nobuyuki Kobushi
Go Shinomiya
Takashi Nagasako is not on the list.

Are Yahtzee's criticisms still viable? I'm looking at Twitch streams and the flaws he mentioned are still glaring.

Wait, it's already out? I thought it was releasing in September for some reason. Explains all the advertising.

I think it released on Wednesday but my copy just arrived today.

[up]x4 At lot of the game's issues are baked into the core design of the world and general plot pacing. A remaster was never going to fix those.

I guess I can't wait for Skyward Sword HD to get onto people's "Worst of 2021" lists.

I don't, I just have an obsession with accentuating the negative to be part of the "in-crowd".

Maybe don't do that? If you have genuine criticisms of your own to share, do so, certainly, but regurgitating angry takes you see elsewhere for attention is — no offense — extraordinarily obnoxious.

Alternately, you could let people enjoy things, and if you don't want to play those things, absolutely no one is making you.

It's been fun.
