Kind of a dum move on Nintendo's part, if I'm gonna be honest.

Was hoping to maybe acquire one when the rush for it wasn't so chaotic, but I guess I was wrong in waiting as long as I did. //Shrug

I've lost hope for this entire game. Nothing but awful selections (outside of Pyra/Mythra) for the Fighter's Passes.

Sakurai REALLY dropped the ball on DLC selection for this bloated mess of a game.

I'm so glad I've avoided this """HD""" port, seems like some rather awful, rough glitches and softlocks are happening. ^^;

I was never into this game much anyways and quit due to the absolute handholding this game has with constantly plaguing me with that annoying "partner" for Link, as well as finding the art style unappealing and the absolutely awful motion controls. It's been a hard pass for me so far, especially if reports like this are showing up where the game is this broken.

@Booples LOL ok, continue to be defeatist while I go out and rally back more aggressively so she gets into the main roster while you waste a sad dollar buying a cheap consolation "prize" that isn't a prize at all.

Ok.

Unlike these defeatists who are blindly happy accepting her as a cheap knockoff version in the for of a hand-me-down consolation prize "Mii" costume, I'm still going to rally back more aggressively so that in the future or whatnot of Smash Bros., she ends up as an actual, main-roster fighter instead of what we got.

>Shantae as a Mii costume

...Ok, so I guess six years worth of campaigning for her to be in the Fighter's Pass means nothing now. Thanks, now I have zero reasons to ever play Ultimate for good. I'm calling it now: The last fighter will be a completely wasted dumpster-tier disappointment.

X to doubt this.

I doubt they'll add anything beyond a scalped plastic paywall for that fast travel nonsense and not even upscaling it beyond it looking like emulator nonsense.

Time to fire Aonuma and bring back Koizumi to the helm if this is how the 35th anniversary of a series everyone loves is being handled.

Looks awesome!

The only question I have is this:

What in the heck is that "My Teacher" thing? I tried using Google-fu and even DuckDuckGo with no luck at all. 🤔

Absolutely! A few of the ones I've had over the years (mainly OoT's and [I think I had it?] Majora's Mask ones come to my mind!) were always a blast to read!

These games definitely deserve a remaster!

@HotGoomba I've heard far worse jokes, don't worry about it.

Dad jokes are pretty hilariously awful, for instance.

"The Legend of Zelda (Zelda 1) will always be the best Zelda"

Ehhhhhhhhh...?

Agree to disagree there. I personally think later Zelda titles are better, but those are just my thoughts!

@Dr_Lugae See, I disagree with you.

I don't think it'll do that well and may even nosedive as buyer's remorse ends up settling in and folks tossing the game away. But that's just me.

@MsJubilee "Don't be smug when you clearly don't know what you're talking about."

Ok, let's take a look at how Aonuma and even the Zelda fans handled it at the time:

•"Producer Eiji Aonuma would later confirm that criticism of Skyward Sword's linear structure and lack of exploration had directly resulted in the development of Breath of the Wild."
•"Skyward Sword had been released the year prior with one of the largest marketing campaigns in Nintendo's history and only sold 3.6 million units worldwide—far less than Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess, and also coming up short of The Wind Waker."
•"The game stirred controversy among The Legend of Zelda's audience in the west through its linearity, excessive tutorials, and lack of an overworld. Skyward Sword was a game that didn't cater to any single audience particularly well—veteran gamers in the west or more casual gamers in Japan. Negative feedback for the game would make the development team re-examine the Zelda series' identity once more, as they had done following the release of The Wind Waker."
•"Skyward Sword didn't know who it was designed for, neither capturing the exploratory essence of Zelda nor appealing to Nintendo's casual audience."
•"Following the release of Skyward Sword, series producer Eiji Aonuma learnt that players weren't happy with the linear, restrictive nature of the game."

...Huh, look at that. And that's just from the "Development of The Legend of Zelda Series" page on Zelda Wiki.

I like to do this sort of research stuff for intrigued, yet fun, interest if it interests me or such once in a while.

Ffft, why is this game being given a second chance? It doesn't even look like real "HD" to me. More like they didn't even give it the time of day and just extremely barely barebones "upscaled" and nothing else added. Also, the game was a big flop compared to the game that came out in 2017 and is a major step back (3.67 mil sales globally (352k in just Japan and 2.03m for NA)).

But hey, what do I know? I'm just spitballin' here and the fact you folks consider it trolling is kind of blind assumption, and we all know assuming things is a rather bad idea. Just sayin'.
