Majora's Mask had a big story

Warning for those who play Skyward Sword at night, make sure that your not in the room that is surrounded by Christmas lights.

Now I know how Miyamoto feels during E3 2010.

Haha, I don't want to bring the party down, so I'll keep my specific criticisms to myself until the initial rush of enthusiasm passes at least. Again, I'm glad people are enjoying it, but I'm really not.

No big deal though. I've got Mario 3D Land keeping me more than happy enough.

I didn't like it much in the beginning, but it gets better. Stick with it. It's a major first-party Nintendo game; you'll be able to trade or sell it for just as much a month or two down the road.

I just want to say for people saying there isn't a timeline or the games don't connect... every single game is either a distant prequel or sequel to a previous game. The only games that have trouble fitting in is the 3 games made by Flagship. But then Nintendo made it a bit clearer with Four Swords Adventures.

But I quoted the part where he said "the biggest spoiler of all" so even if you did you would have read that first. D:

Out of curiosity, how far are you into the game? I can see people being turned off by the first half of the game, but the second half immediately blew my mind. I've done more exploring and side-questing in this game since I have with Majora's Mask. Speaking of Majora's Mask, I know that's one of your favorites, and I'll bet I know what some of your complaints are

What does this even mean?

who knows, it's tendoboy, he hasn't been making much sense today if you ask me...

knock it off with the discussing of each other, please — let's not make it personal. thank you~

Did you fall asleep at the end of the game? He tells you indirectly how he's related to Ganondorf (his reincarnation). He doesn't reappear because he's killed for good and serves as the origin of Ganondorf's evil.

Would you prefer all games to be the same with no new stuff? You must like EA Sports games then Also, there's nothing aside from a few hints from Nintendo that suggests that all of the games are linked together.

In a way, some of the games are self-contained, because there are only a few similarities amongst the games, but there are huge differences among them, suggesting that they may not be linked as mentioned earlier.

How? Skyward Sword didn't do anything that contradicts Ocarina of Time's story. Sure they didn't mention Hylia in the legends of previous games, but legends aren't complete through generations. Some are forgotten entirely and some change over time (this was mentioned in the game btw).

Actually some games do mention Hylia just not by name. As a Goddess who became mortal, of the royal blood. I forgot what game it was from though.
Edit: I want to say Link to the Past? I might be wrong though, I know it's one of the 2D games.

Also Four Swords Adventures called Ganon being the rebirth of an Ancient Demon.

You guys talk about spoiler stuff way too openly. I think I managed to avoid the worst stuff, but I'm outta here.

I'm openly spoiled and not afraid to admit it. Society needs to learn to accept spoilers. We have the same rights.

I will never understand how some people claim that Zelda has no story. I mean, do they have some kind of problem with understanding or seeing the story on- screen? Zelda games have just as much story as any adventure game, and it's mostly better written and even more touching than in most games.

to be fair, this isn't difficult

OMG the Master Sword is amazing!!!

If the cut scenes aren't longer than the game play and there's no voice acting, how can you call that a story?

And thus with one sentence, all retro RPGS in existence were cut down to not having a story.

Just like books... if only there was a way to tell whats going on using a form of writing.

I'm almost through with it, at the final boss. Have all items, hearts and stuff except the unbreakable shield which I just tried to get in the bossrush sidequest but got killed by the eighth boss.
Will try again tomorrow, and then complete the game.

Still have some questions.

1. There are suspicious holes near the pumpkin fields and other areas. What are they for?

2. What can I use the mushroom powder for?

3. What do you get for playing the pumpkin song perfect?

4. Where is the hidden spot with the 5 cats in Skyloft?

5. What do you get for beating the record (43 slices) in the bamboo minigame?

6. Flying around the clouds, then jumping off the bird, skydiving, there were some flying beetle things, but now I can't get them to reappear. Where are they?

The game is great. So glad Tingle is in it This is my fav Zelda next to Majora's Mask and The Wind Waker.

Is anyone else reading the ongoing comic for Skyward Sword at Zelda.com?
