It's an aging title who's time in the sun is ending with the impending release of Wind Waker HD and the forthcoming native Wii U title, but I thought it would be interesting to see what people thought of this game. Skyward sword took some broad steps in terms of breaking with conventions long established in the Legend of Zelda franchise. People who have spoken with me at length about it know that I was less than thrilled with the Wii's motion controls. Especially true of the first generation Wiimote, the lagginess and impresice input struck me as a step backwards for interface devices. Having said that, I thought it brilliantly added a sorely needed depth of combat control to the Zelda series. The more involved nature of encounters with enemies meant the pacing of the game was going to be different from any other that preceeded it and I feel Nintendo capitalized on this fact brilliantly.
What's your take on this game and the way it treated convention? I know there are those who disliked that it seemed to fly in the face of beloved themes and those who found it to be a breath of fresh air. I think there's good arguments to be made on both sides and I would love to hear them.
