A zelda game without dungeons just isnt a zelda game imo.
They could have at least made much better bosses.

I read about how hard those divine beasts are, but I haven't had any issues with them. Part of it might be the potions I'm using too though. I haven't had any trouble with the three I've faced so far and I only used the master sword on the last one I did.Man... The Master Sword makes the divine beast boss fights super easy. Outside the dungeons it's just a really good sword, but inside it's pretty over powered.
All weapons break sooner or later.And will I ever get a weapon that doesn't break? Kinda annoying having to switch weapons in the middle of fights (especially bows, which don't have a D-pad shortcut if your weapon breaks).
Spend your time running to the village. It will feel like your largest foot trek of the game. You will get fast travel to every shrine you unlock. Make sure you stop and see the sights right along the road to Kakariko, as there are a couple of things you don't want to miss.So I just started this a few days ago and... is it normally to wander around aimlessly to get from point A to point B? Like, I'm supposed to go to Kakariko Village and I feel like it's taking me forever to get there on foot/gliding.

Ah, thanks. I was driving me nuts that there was no bow shortcut... don't suppose there is an arrow type short cut, is there?Hold RL, I think, then hit the dpad shortcut. You can get to bows and arrows by holding a button.
I feel like I've been exploring quite a bit... problem is, most of the exploration has been very unrewarding outside of the 5 shines I found- two by complete luck. I thought the shines in the area were supposed to be visible from those map scanning towers but guess not? I did get my first horse but I end up just going on foot most of the time since it's easier to explore.Spend your time running to the village. It will feel like your largest foot trek of the game.

There is an arrow shortcut, I believe you just press left on the dpad instead of the right. Whatever bow is, it's the opposite.Ah, thanks. I was driving me nuts that there was no bow shortcut... don't suppose there is an arrow type short cut, is there?

I feel like I'm doing something very wrong with this game.
Thanks... I kept thinking "didn't I see a way shortcut for this?" but there was a day gap between when I started playing to when I picked back up and couldn't figure it out. Things are definitely starting to fall into place and things are starting to feel more natural.There is an arrow shortcut, I believe you just press left on the dpad instead of the right.

As for exploration, I definitely felt like I was wandering aimlessly until I got to Kakariko. Shortly after that I feel like the world makes more "sense" in a way once you unlock all of the main quests. If you want, just do the beginning quest then go back to exploring.
Thanks for your thoughts! Since this game's release I've tried to avoid as much video coverage/reviews. With games or movies that I know I'm going to buy, I try to not spoil as much as possible before seeing it. I've been replaying Skyward Sword on my Wii and enjoying it, but I'd be curious to see how that compares to SS as I agree with you, the dungeon/reward aspects of Zelda are generally some of my favorite.So I think I'm putting the game down. I beat the game just over a week ago and have been exploring the world since. Overall, it's a great game.... but also felt a bit disappointed. I love the Zelda series so I guess there were certain things I was expecting (going through a dungeon, finding that big reward at the end) but I guess the series is headed in a new direction. The shines and 4 dungeons (not sure I count the last place is a dungeon) were pretty weak and the entire experience felt a bit cheapened by the lack of any real feeling of being rewarded (mostly caused by the "breaking weapons" aspect of the game). Also, the story and character development felt like a huge missed opportunity. I loved the storytelling in SS but this game was a complete dud.
EDIT* Put 80 hrs into it... by far the most I put into any Zelda game.
I feel like SS's only major weakness were the waggle controls. If it wasn't for the many annoying bits that required waggle, it would have been in the top tier of Zelda games for me.Thanks for your thoughts!

Hard to say, though so far Nintendo remastered Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, so I wouldn't be too surprised if Skyward Sword gets one on the Switch as well.

I was hoping that SS got ported to the Wii U for full HD visuals, but (since that's def not happening) I'm thinking maybe Switch would be better and they couldn't force waggle controls. But I also wonder if anyone will want to go back to the old non-Skyrim Zelda format.
That would be awesome. I dunno about you guys, but it's really hard for me to go back and enjoy Wii graphics. I'm not even a graphical snob either. But man those games look jagged.Hard to say, though so far Nintendo remastered Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, so I wouldn't be too surprised if Skyward Sword gets one on the Switch as well.

I know what you mean, I recently dug up my Wii and have been replaying some of the greats (Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Metroid Prime Trilogy, House of the Dead Overkill, etc). I'm playing these on a 4k TV, but I was surprised how well the art style holds up on a lot of the Nintendo Wii games. Super the polygon count and resolution leaves a lot to be desired, but the simple charm of Super Mario Galaxy and the bloom lighting and vistas of MP are as impressive today as they were ten years ago. At least to me, just my two cents.That would be awesome. I dunno about you guys, but it's really hard for me to go back and enjoy Wii graphics. I'm not even a graphical snob either.
