          Skyward Sword has its issues but I don’t think it’s the worst Zelda game. I think that title typically goes to Zelda II (assuming we’re not included by the CD-i games). It’s a long time since I’ve played Skyward Sword, but the most egregious things I remember about it are the excessive hand-holding and repetitive boss fights. On the other hand, the story is infinitely better than BotW. There’s actual character development, much more interesting dungeon design and I enjoyed the RPG-lite equipment progression. In terms of moment-to-moment gameplay I still think BotW is more enjoyable, but both are great games overall.

          At least skyward sword didn’t have you spending half the time grinding for weapons, or in menus picking/managing weapons.

            For real, the game didn’t feel worth playing on my wiiu. I later played it on an emulator and used infinite durability and stamina mods, and that actually made it worth playing. Still vast swaths of nothing in that game, but still worth playing.

            I wish (stock) they had some story relevant weapons with infinite durability, but random weapons that might do more damage that do have limited durability. Think that would have been a better balance.

              I agree. The master sword had renewable durability, but I think each of the divine beasts should have had their own unique weapon reward that functioned the same as the master sword, maybe make them upgradable like the armors. Then you could have a core set of strong weapons to fall back on as you progressed.

          It arrived at a time in my life where I thought that shit was cool. Snatch, Lock Stock, Boondock Saints, lol. Good movies but nothing in there to model yourself after. That opening really set the tone though, holy shit

    Did you guys also see the announcement about Masashi Kishimoto developing a new manga for Naruto? I think it’s oneshot but it’s pre-hokage stuff.
