Someone needs to start an "Oh BestBuy!" thread.

Zelda Sucky Sword ruined The Legend of Zelda series.


Crappy motion controls
crappy linear areas
recycled areas
casual watered down garbage
Fi is by far the worst companion in any Zelda

OK yeah. Just go home

I can tell you that the price should be good until 2/2, assuming all Targets follow the same sales (and last I checked, they do). Just finished working this morning and checked the sale tag before I left.

dang this seems like a good deal. Haven't played a zelda game since.... Link's Awakening? Pretty tempted @ $20 especially since there won't be any new zeldas for a while.

game is shit compared to the other zelda games, still worth 20 buck tho

You know, there is a legitimate debate about how this wasn't one of the better Zeldas, or how they have been releasing the same game for years. Or how Fi was a poor companion. Or how the motion control didn't work as well as hoped. But you sound like a 6 year old. "Zelda Sucky Sword"? Really? Say that to yourself in the mirror and then think about how you typed it.

And by the way, ALL Zeldas have been "casual". They are intended to be appreciated and beaten by the average gamer. Have you just not been paying attention? And if you don't like it, feel free to not pay $19.99 at Target for it.

Damnnnnnn. The part about looking in the mirror made me laugh.

I'd pick this up but I don't have the motion plus remote thingy. Good deal

Why don't you stop crying like a spoiled brat and just buy from target. "Hundreds of dollars a year" lol they will miss you.

Just to confirm, this is in fact happening--Skyward Sword with CD for 19.99

Playing this now and having a blast - yeah the motion controls can be a hindrence some of the time, but overall an excellent game.

I had the pleasure of attending both E3 2010 and 2011 as part of my University Computer Science club. Zelda and Sonic are both my favorite video game series. I heard that a Zelda was supposed to be announced at E3 but when I walked into the South Hall I saw a new Zelda, Kirby, Goldeneye, and Donkey Kong Country. As a long time Nintendo fan it was mind blowing to play these games before I had even heard of any announcement.

Both times I played Zelda I really didn't enjoy it too much. In 2011 I even waited over an hour to play the newer demo to give it a second chance. The more I read about the game the less I wanted to play it. It seemed like it was going to be a Zelda game that focused on story instead of gameplay. After Twilight Princess came out Miyamoto said the next Zelda would be completely different and reinvented, however this was clearly not true. The Wii U Zelda is claiming the same thing.

It really pained me to see what direction they took the Zelda series, the character designs, too much dialogue, lack of overworld, and forcing directions on the player all seemed like they were taking a huge step back from a formula that already worked well. I wasn't just not going to buy the game, I was angry about it and had legitimate concerns but everyone said I was a "troll" and that it was Game Of The Year (before the game had even come out).

Fast forward to early January 2013 and I am feeling less cynical and polarized about the whole thing. Kmart had it for 20$ with the Music CD, I bought it and have to say that while it is far from the best Zelda game it is still a high quality game and is easily worth 50$. It is a lot of fun even though there are some annoyances involved. I should have just bought it day 1 and enjoyed it instead of being so negative about the whole thing. Now it seems like people are finally understanding the flaws the game does have though. If you own a Wii, are a Zelda fan and don't have SS, buy it.

Just picked this up. Keeping it sealed in hopes it will one day be worth something

I always want to get this, but then realize that I'd have to get a motion plus. Aren't they like $15?

when did they extend this? i went last night right before close and sign said ended 1/26

This is coming from a hardcore Zelda fanboy.

No lefty flip
Felt like the most linear Zelda ever
That stupid hub thing they used in the DS Zeldas (going from point a, to b, back to a, to c, etc does not entertain me)
Not having the traditional 8 or more dungeons (They're my favorite part about Zelda so yeah)
The soundtrack is pretty much forgettable
Backtracking
Gimping the enemies to fit the motion plus gimmick (Had it just been bosses and big enemies that don't show up much I wouldn't of complained, but when they give it to bokoblins and litter the place with them it becomes irritating.)

Had it not been for Groose being awesome I would of hated Skyword Sword more.

But still, people might like it. Especially compared to the 4-8 hour games that litter the industry today. The lack of a lefty flip might of effected the controls and cause me to not really like it as much as I could of if I was right handed.

This game is in the same area Wind Waker was, it's either you like it or you hate it as a Zelda game. So yeah. $20 bucks is worth a gamble just cause it's Zelda.

the fact that you need to spend extra money on motion plus to play this game if you dont have it is awfull. motion plus makes the wiimote what it should have been from the start smh

Whats this lefty flip all about?
Im left handed so im curious.

They made Link right handed and didn't provide a lefty flip. So Link uses his right hand the entire game and you can't switch it. So it feel really weird cause of the motion plus stuff that the game is based on.

Game was a huge letdown for me.
