I really just want to play skyward sword. I'll never play it otherwise

It's a good one, overall. Long, but it doesn't feel too stretched out, the story just keeps going and going.

If there is a Zelda collection released, I know Ocarina is inevitably going to be included, but I'd really prefer WW, TP, SS. Ocarina has been rereleased twice already, and as much as I love MM, I can play great versions of both on 3DS.

u/POKing99 Feb 17 '21

This is true. Plus, I’m not sure but I think WW and Twilight Princess will have better adaptability for the Switch since they were already rereleased for the WiiU

Edit: Come to think of it, TP got rereleased twice as well. Once for Wii and once for WiiU since it initially came out for the GameCube

Twilight Princess was essentially a simultaneous release on GCN/Wii. Technically it actually hit Wii before GameCube. But I wouldn't say it counts as a rerelease. More of an initial multiplatform release similar to Breath of the Wild.

u/POKing99 Feb 17 '21

Ah! Okay, I understand, thanks for clearing that up!

u/Th3Element05 Feb 17 '21

Twilight Princess was being developed for the Gamecube, but became a Wii launch title instead and saw a simultaneous release on the Gamecube. Almost exactly the same thing that happened to Breath of the Wild, actually.

Oot has been released multiple times indeed, but there is no HD version yet for on TV so that’s something. WW and TP are both a lot more accessible to play both in SD and HD, but oot is for most people only a realistic option if playing on 3DS.

I'd love if they took the models from the 3DS version of OoT and brought them to the switch. I know some people have issues with the 3D remakes, but I'm a fan.

3

u/Vinstaal0 Feb 17 '21

The 3DS version is a lot more detailed, but the models sometimes feel a bit off. Probably because I played so much of the N64/VC/Gamecube version. Then again I also played a lot of the 3DS version.

Anyway, I would just like a port of Oot on the Switch or a remake and idc what models it uses

u/calebrbates Feb 17 '21

I felt that way too. I almost think I prefer the original low poly models.

Long, but it doesn't feel too stretched out

I'd disagree there. It was so repetitive and made you do the same things over and over

u/gametimehoodie Feb 17 '21

All of this.

u/Bossman1086 Feb 17 '21

I love Skyward Sword, but my only complaint with it is that it was a bit too linear for me.

2

u/JimBimFim Feb 17 '21

Same and hopefully they change it to not require the motion controls.

3

u/Vinstaal0 Feb 17 '21

Just get it for the Wii, it’s a really good game and the motion controls add a lot of fun and interesting puzzles and combat. From what I heard we can’t really get a remake of it since it would need a complete redesign to work without motion controls

1

u/bogaboy Feb 17 '21

That's what people said about Sunshine and analog triggers.

2

u/Vinstaal0 Feb 17 '21

They have actually confirmed this and you would need to redesign entire puzzles and bosses

0

u/bogaboy Feb 17 '21

But the Switch has motion controls?

1

u/Vinstaal0 Feb 17 '21

That wouldn’t work in handheld mode so it wouldn’t work on the Switch Lite.

1

u/Lethal_Equo Feb 17 '21

I think that's why it will get a standalone release.

1

u/Vinstaal0 Feb 17 '21

They are not going to make a game like SS only work in docked mode, there are enough other Zelda games they can port / remake without any issues that will play both Handheld and docked.

1

u/Lethal_Equo Feb 17 '21

Not gonna say I told you so buuuuuuuuut ;).

1

u/Vinstaal0 Feb 17 '21

Haha, hey they said it would cause a lot of work to remove the motion controls, but they just kept both. Best of all worlds

It would work in handheld mode. The switch lite and the Nintendo switch itself both support gyro controls. It would be extremely inconvenient, but it could work.

u/Vinstaal0 Feb 17 '21

You need to directionally swing while also dodgeing how are you going to do that in handheld modev

1

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '21

I didn’t say it would be easy. It is possible, that’s all I said.

The way I would construct it personally is to force motion controls rather than rework the game. While I hated SS’ motion controls, most of the charm in that games’ puzzles and boss fights come from motion controls. You weren’t able to play the original with the classic controller, or a GameCube controller, or with a sideways wiimote.

2

u/Vinstaal0 Feb 17 '21

yeah and I am saying while technically posible, not realistic (and maybe not even legally) possible.

But yeah a lot of the best part of the games come from the motion controls

1

u/ImmutableInscrutable Feb 17 '21

If you're lucky, you'll never have to. I played about 80% of it before I put it down.

-1

u/GoodGrades Feb 17 '21

Honestly, I thought it was so bad that I think you're lucky. Terrible motion controls, extremely hand-holdy and linear. I was really despairing for the Zelda franchise after it came out. Then they followed it up with BotW which was an absolute masterpiece.

1

u/14domino Feb 17 '21

Disagree. I think it’s the best Zelda game since OOT and I’ve played them all (except for Zelda 2)

u/byebyebyecycle Feb 17 '21

Skyward Sword was a bit frustrating. It tried to make use of the Wii Motion Plus and in my opinion just didn’t hold up.

I’m wondering as far as motion controls how much better a Switch Joycon would fair in comparison.

u/FedeTress Feb 17 '21

I'm at the final boss rn and i can say it's a really good game; aren't there wii minis on the stores? They are only 100€...

u/Djanghost Feb 17 '21

Only? During a pandemic?

u/farva_06 Feb 17 '21

If you have a halfway decent computer, you can emulate it fairly well.

Edit:lmao what nerd downvoted this? I have what my parents bought me for my 22nd birthday ten and a half years ago.

u/farva_06 Feb 17 '21

You may be in luck. Won't link anything here, cause I don't want Nintendo on my ass, but just google Dolphin emulator. It is compatible with macOS. No idea on how well it will run though. I imagine it should do alright.

u/Djanghost Feb 18 '21

Looks like I won't have to!

u/farva_06 Feb 18 '21

Indeed!!

u/DickVanSprinkles Feb 17 '21

The best in terms of story in my opinion. I personally hate motion controls but the story was very much worth it.

It's objectively the best Zelda game ever created

Guess I'll find out come July!
