One of the most storied franchises in history soars to new heights. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword shakes up the tried-and-true adventure game formula and marks a turning point for the franchise. The introduction of full motion controls enabled by Wii MotionPlus technology synchronises player movements with Link's actions while offering the most intuitive play control of any game in the series to date.
The precise Wii MotionPlus functionality in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword turns every encounter into a challenge of both brains and brawn. Please note that a Wii Motion Plus controller or Wii Motion Plus Accessory is required to play this game.
Wii MotionPlus technology accurately translates the angle of every sword slice, effectively putting Link's blade in the player's hand. Analysing enemy attack and defence tendencies and counteracting with precise swings of the sword provide a satisfying experience that blends puzzle-solving with a new and distinctly unique combat system.
Explore a massive, multilayered world that seamlessly blends soaring exploration in a sea of clouds with intense ground-based adventuring that blurs the line between the main world and traditional Zelda dungeons. Link soars through the skies on the back of a noble bird and dives beneath the clouds to the continent below in an epic quest that lays the foundation for the events in the critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Prepare for intense puzzle-solving as only The Legend of Zelda games can deliver. Exploration of the forests, volcanoes and deserts requires players to think on their feet as they solve puzzles, overcome obstacles and escape deadly traps. Once they find their way to each dungeon, they are confronted by even more puzzles guarded by fiendish enemies.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword redefines the traditional Zelda framework and introduces an arsenal of items, upgrades and rewards unlike any game in the franchise to date. The adventure guides players into, out of and back to dungeons and areas they've already completed.
Along the way, Link gathers a massive inventory of peculiar items and resources that can be used to upgrade many of his weapons and equipment.

Annoying that this is the only game I'd have to buy one of the stupid things for.
It's such a good game - if you played Zelda before it follows the same game play ie dungeon, explore, dungeon again.
Annoying that this is the only game I'd have to buy one of the stupid things for.
I bought one specifically for this too, and will probably never use it again. I got a used official remote, motion plus add-on and nunchuck for £12 used buy it now on ebay.
There are some generic motion plus add-ons there as well for £3-4 but I can't vouch for their quality.
Not sure where those screenshots are from as when I played the game through they were frankly pants, I've heard that component cables etc would have improved them slightly, but then at the same time others said it made no difference so I won't be too critical as if nothing else it is its own style and using the ancient wii hardware.
Anyway graphics don't make the game and I felt after around 5/6 hours the game started to get better and I did enjoy it for the most part. Ultimately though I found enemies and areas very bland and repetitive, about 6/7 types of enemy maximum aside from the bosses and the formulaic find a key open another section of dungeon etc. grated after a while.
All in all this is definitely not nearly as good as reviews have made it out to be but certainly makes a welcome break from the usual bunk out there.
I've not played since Majora's Mask, so it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy with nostalgia :) Can tell I'll enjoy it already.
