Skyward Sword is making me appreciate BotW and TotK. In this game you can really see what Zelda with waning passion is like. Everything just feels like they are going through the paces, the areas feel more like Mario levels than lived in worlds with stories behind them. The side quests are all small scale and boring, and small scale really sums up the game. Somehow in a way I dont understand, even OoT and MM felt like they had bigger, more realized worlds than this. Its the game that made me realize why they took everything back to the drawing board. I still wish BotW and TotK would have had way better enemy variety, but at least the two of them felt like I was on an adventure and not just jumping from level to level.

Can't wait to play the Oracle games and Minish after I finish this one up.
