...wut? How is Skyward Sword worse than Twilight Prince...oh wait thats right. The Zelda Cycle.
SS makes loads of steps forwards, interaction, visuals, general dialogue, orchestrated sound, NPCs, modes, treasures, harder, more original, the intro is closer to the hub but one GIGANTIC step is made backwards. It begins to be a chore, what Nintendo forced in the same areas again. It still would have been better if a third of the content was cut. TP had backtracking yet it didnt take as long to reach a new area.
Twilight portals were more convenient than the sky portals/isolated owls, TP dungeons were both great and bigger. Midnas wisecracks were good, ask Fi and she often wont shut up about batteries/hearts. I preferred the flow of TP, how each area was connected more like a traditional world, how night would come out.
It doesnt help that I recently played through Skies of Arcadia, with its visionary occupied sky, I wouldnt expect that but there was potential. More air battles with the Loftwing could have been great, being able to get a stable bird, stop and fire arrows towards other fiends would have been great, so I preferred the action-packed rides on Epona. Even in ST theres many train battles and it can be customised.
how good Twilight Princess would have been, leaching off the strengths of SS. They were definitely not the sky theme. Thats the thing with modern Zelda, every time a game makes improvements, new weaknesses come.
Like hell Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass are as good as SS.
Not exactly but types of environments show up in those faster (no ice this time), and I found nothing in those games less enjoyable than dowsing for keys/Kikwi/door patterns/notes underwater, up Eldin again with the propeller, and the Demise battles could have been fused. Even the Spirit/Ocean Dungeon introduced a floor every time. I like SS for some different reasons though.
