This game has been for me, the greatest let down of the franchise since I played it upon it's initial release. It just doesn't feel like a game that fits the series at all. My favourite parts of a new Zelda game were exploring the new surroundings, stumbling across different side quests and characters, progressing through bew lands, temples and dungeons. Each area in other games, be it Death Mountain or The Great Bay etc... they all felt open world no matter where you went. Skyward Sword is just so restrictive and lacking by comparison. Even when reaching an area within Hyrule's ground, it feels very closed off and restricted. You don't feel there is a world around you, but merely a level to overcome. To me it just feels so massively out of place and pales by comparison to it's predecessors that developed my love for the series and I was so shocked and dissappointed when I heard Nintendo were making it their 35th Anniversary release.... let alone re-releasing it in the first place.
