1:44 I might be wrong, but it looks like the game requires the cutscene to finish the scripted NPC/camera movements before it allows you to speed up the text box, that might be necessary to prevent the cutscenes from breaking.
Damn watching ZFG struggle with the buttons actually makes me sort of glad I played the wii version, even if I did also struggle with the buttons on that.
despite telling myself I wouldn't I actually bought this since impressions have been pretty positive. also wanted to see what a 60fps zelda is like. Never played the original since I didn't like the direction the game took at the time. maybe I'll be more open to it now.
@@cephelos1098 Only issue I've encountered is that sometimes sword swipes don't register on button controls, but other than that (and the hold left bumper to look) they're fine imo
According to Digital Foundry, the effect is made up of 10x10 dots. The painting effect is very obvious at 480p but because 1080p is such a huge step up, 10x10 is miniscule in comparison. The effect is still there and works exactly the same as it did on Wii. It's just that they didn't adjust it for the higher resolution on Switch, so it might seem reduced or in some cases, gone entirely when it actually isn't.
I prefer the new button crontrols over the old. While you can use the gyro I found you have to press the gyro reset button very often for the controls to be perfect but beyond that it was cool swinging the sword about.
meh groose kinda feels like Linebeck from phantom hourglass to me,, idk why everyone is so hyped over him. lt kinda feels like the waluigi meme for smash, people just decided that he was the greatest character of all time just for the sake of it.
@@caracatoacacepe Whether it's a good or bad Zelda game does not change the fact that it is a good game. It may not be AS GOOD as other Zelda games to some people but it is far from being a bad game out of all the games in the world. It's at least a 5.1 out of 10 if it's a balanced score system where 4.9/10 and lower is bad or worse and 5.1 and higher is good or better. My personal opinion puts it at 9/10 but I can use the motion controls well without issue.
@@vikramsathish1245 well like I said in the original comment, its symbolic and I do not think for 1 second that this piece of shit game that was 50 ten years ago is worth full price today.
I remember my parents leaving my brothers and I to be babysat by our Great Aunt's apartment very frequently. We'd always bring our Wii. It was Great Aunt's birthday, and my Mom had just returned after being away for some hours. Exhausted from the heat and secondhand cigarette smoke, I was watching my brother play The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. My parents were walking through the living room when my Mom saw my brother talking to some girl NPC. Being the wacky-crazy™ Mom she was, she told my then 13-year old brother to make her take her top off, loudly, in front of everyone. What a crazy day in 2011 that was. My cousin was there; who's now a registered offender. Great Aunt was there; who is now dead because cancer. (She smoked a lot.) My Mom was there; she now owes me $1,940. My Dad was there; he hasn't done anything new in 10 years. To this day, we still have that Wii and disc of Skyward Sword. Sitting on a dresser. Plugged in. Nobody touches it.
@@io.nebulae Skyward Sword is the best post-N64 3D Zelda by far, in that it's the only one that isn't either a complete joke like the GC games (which could still be fun but the fun is kind of sucked out when I feel unkillable against the final boss) and it actually is a 3D Zelda game, as opposed to BoTW being a mediocre open world game with a Zelda skin.
@@hoodedman6579 I mean, it's not an unpopular opinion to actually dislike the game. Read the room maybe? 🤷 you'd be delusional to think that the majority of players enjoy that game. It may be your opinion, but to call it the best one and make it factual is... Well. Just look at the sales of botw... That you personally like it or not, people seemed to enjoy it more than SS. Good for you tho 🤠
@@io.nebulae I dunno, pretty much every single person I've talked to about SS has enjoyed the game. Maybe you should take a quick step back and remember that "most players" isn't "most enthusiasts."
It is better. Fast text, more control options, the game not telling you about treasure again when you’ve already gotten it, and many others make it feel like a whole new game. It’s actually enjoyable to talk to people, I’ve been been purposely talking to Fi to see what see says in different areas, and since I usually skim really fast for it, fast text allows me to do that
Dont know if its just me but my switch motion controls are just terrible compared to wii so i think i preferred the original it barely looks different anyway
The button controls and not having to talk to Fi alone make the game way better. Aside from the sword the motion controls are jenk. Probably not worth $60. The first half of the game is great, but it does get boring after all the fetch quest and the dungeons, particularly in the second half are not nearly as good as people Hyped them up to be. Not a bad game. I liked it more then Twilight Princess. But it really feels like it missed the mark and had potential to be so much better.
If you've played for honor button controls are eassssyy peassssy bought game 2 days ago already at lanyaru desert temple 3 hours of gameplay. Absolutely my favorite one. Everyone likes tp and ocarina but honestly the color in skyward sword is fantastic. I've played 90% of Zelda games all the way from super nintendo to ds Gameboy all the way up. I have not played Hyrule of condance or whatever because it isn't a true Zelda game its a mash of 2 different games. Oh personally botw is absolutely the worst one.
@@SuperNintendawg Groose and Girahim are 100% cringe and the soundtrack fucking sucks. Every other Zelda story is just as good as SS. This game is overall insufferable.
I think the major problem with Skyward Sword is that nothing but a complete remake would fix the problems the game has. And Nintendo clearly has no interest in remaking their games.
Played the original as a kid and didn't have too many issues with it. the different control setups will probably take some getting used to though. I do think SS is fun and a good game, but I can see why some might not like it.
This game being a port that slightly runs better than the original, and is full price, sets terrible precedent for the pokemon gen 4 remakes. I'm genuinely scared that it's just gonna be a change in art style and nothing will be added or changed from the original game
Gen 4 remakes were always a bad idea because those games are so good on their own with so many tiny details and features... there's no point in remaking them, the new company would inevitably miss the detail that gives the games so much soul. Pokemon Z (e.g. XY remake) for the switch would work much better imo.
@@ShyRanger its funny you say that since pokemon co. and gamefreak are pretty much synonymous with lazy developers recently so if zelda gets away with it you should definitely expect pokemon to get away with it too...
Was expecting OoT footage with casual backgroundtalk but ok this will do 🤮 omg i'm sry, it's just these graphics 🤮 oh no! Terribly sry, imma clean that real quick..
"I never 100 percented Skyward sword because I realised it wasn't that fun..... to 100 percent it" Nah ZFG, you finished that sentence exactly in the right place. You didn't need the extra couple of words.
Trolling zfg by asking him to play more minesweeper throughout his entire playthrough was way too fun
If you exclusively hold B, you skip all text. pressing A returns text speed to original
If there is no animation tied behind the dialog then yes.
His little "no"s are everything.
1:44 I might be wrong, but it looks like the game requires the cutscene to finish the scripted NPC/camera movements before it allows you to speed up the text box, that might be necessary to prevent the cutscenes from breaking.
You’re right
he literally says that right after
@@NewsofPE Yeah he says they’re animation tied, easiest way to describe it
ZFG should’ve bought the Dampé Amiibo to make the minesweeper digging game easier
2:17 God appears
Gotta say I'm a huge fan of zfg just dying over and over and over again from jumping from a cliff cause he couldn't find the buttom
I'm happy to know that there's at least one zelda guy worse at skyward sword than me
i'm the other one
Holy shit that outro was hilarious! Well done Mr editor
Damn watching ZFG struggle with the buttons actually makes me sort of glad I played the wii version, even if I did also struggle with the buttons on that.
True but the switch version does have motion controls still if you use split joycons.
