I just got The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. Nostalgia, baby!

And honestly, they handled motion controls much better than Super Mario Galaxy or Super Mario 3D World! Usually you aren’t controlling a cursor, but rather, your sword, and even if you are controlling your cursor, it’s a simple press of the Y button to recalibrate!

This comes, however, at the expensive of camera controls in button-only mode. You see, you have to press R and move the right stick… to move the camera. Without the R button, the right stick controls the sword.

Why couldn’t they have that be the other way around?! Most other 3D games use the right stick for the camera! Why screw with that now? At least let us reverse that in the options menu!

Overall, the smoothest experience, in my opinion, is when you’re standing up and using two Joy-Cons. Incidentally, that also resembles how you’d play the Wii version.

Funny, out of the three Wii ports (Metroid Prime was ported from GameCube, technically, but the motion controls had to come from the Wii Play Control/Trilogy ports) I’ve played, Super Mario Galaxy is basically unplayable for me outside of handheld mode because of the forced motion controls for the cursor, Metroid Prime Remastered, I refuse to use the motion controls for because there are more reliable options, but Skyward Sword HD, I find, is best with motion controls.

If I were to fix button-only mode, I’d have the right stick move the camera by default, have R draw the sword, and then while Link’s sword was out, the right stick would move the sword.

Overall, though, it’s been a fun time!

You know, I wonder something now. The original Skyward Sword was apparently planned at one point to have an alternate story mode where you played as Zelda adventuring on the surface. I wonder if her initial outfit was an artifact from this idea? It looks like something cool you could go adventuring in, if you had to wear a dress while you were at it. The boots in particular lend something of an adventurous vibe to it.

Skyward Sword has become one of my favorite Zelda games 💚

Finished my playthrough of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. It took me way too long to finish this let's play, probably because at the time, I don't think I really had a set schedule on my Twitch channel yet. I streamed pretty sporadically. But I am happy this was the first Zelda I streamed! It's definitely tied as my #1 Zelda, with Ocarina of Time (yes, I have two #1s because I can't choose between them).

If you'd like to see me play other games in the Zelda series, you can find me playing them over on my Twitch channel!

people hear me out

So SkSw Zelda (Sun) is Hylia. She had no memories of her past life and as she regains her memories she discovers she had chosen Link (Sky) and she has been unknowingly using him. But she doesn't really like this, she's still her father's daughter and Link's Zelda...

I always imagined Zelda needing to "choose who to be", maybe keeping her bangs as a fringe as Zelda and moving them on the side (like Hylia in the manga, or like the statues) when having to act as Hylia (to use her magic, or to give orders).

Then in LU I've seen fanarts and read some fanfics about Four with DID, and since I didn't know what it meant I looked around the internet and got some informations (correct me if I'm wrong tho!)

And since then I've been thinking that maybe... maybe Zelda didn't have to remember Hylia's memories because they were never hers, they were Hylia's. Hylia chose Zelda as her mortal form, resting, not taking control of the body until it was ready. And then Impa didn't help Zelda with her memories, but she helped Hylia awakening and getting comfortable in the shared body. And sometimes the alters argue because Hylia wants to continue her quest but Zelda has sensed that Link is near. When Zelda knows Link is near she desperately wants to take control but both Hylia and Impa stop her.

When link goes back in time, Hylia tells him her story. I remember thinking that dialogue didn't sound like Zelda's at all, it was a totally different personality. She tells him she had to transfer her soul to the body of a mortal, and then we have those 2 phrases specifically.

I feel this is like Hylia introducing herself to Link, and then, when she turns and walks away, she's Zelda again. She refers to the goddess as Hylia and then corrects it with "I", she might think Link can't understand what's happening. And I think she's so angry at Hylia for using his Link but she can't explain everything now so she accuses herself of using him.

While in the crystal, Zelda is sleeping while Hylia is keeping Demise sealed. When Link breaks the seal on her, Zelda wakes up and Hylia lets her spend some moments with her friends, until Ghirahim takes her and... tears Hylia out of Zelda.

When Demise is defeated, Impa calls her "Her Grace" and Fi does too once, but Fi recognizes she wants to be called Zelda and even Impa recognizes she's Zelda and won't let Hylia take her place for a while. Impa has to tell Zelda what Hylia told her (I found this strange when I first played it, didn't Zelda have all "her" memories?)

Then they go back to their time and it's all Zelda until the end.

I think Hylia returned to Zelda's body after Demise was defeated, but the main host is Zelda. Sometimes Hylia shows up and moves the bangs to the side, so Link and everyone can see it's her.

This might be totally wrong but I really like to think Zelda and Hylia aren't the same soul but 2 different entities that happened to share a body :")

If this is offensive or inaccurate please tell me so I can fix my mistakes!

If Four gives Sun the four sword and Sun and Hylia split, I think they won't be friends, Sun will throw hands at her with no esitation :)
