The slow text is what pissed me off more than anything, because otherwise I would have tolerated Fi a lot more.
No problems with controls.
And I congratulate this Zelda game to get me to shed four manly tears over the course of how emotionally wrenching it was for me. Likely because of how Zelda is more the childhood friend than the princess. Really wish there was some sort of epilogue following...the demise of Demise (I'm so sorry for that pun), really would have liked to see how the monarchy began and how Hyrule was named.
And the standard Link/Zelda
, the later years, that sort of stuff.
The story of Skyward Sword was one of my favorite parts of the game, and funny enough, is actually something that was pointed out most often by professional critics as evolving Zelda to a better tier of storytelling.
And it really does. The story, largely, is about how the "legend" of Zelda was first established. And a nice bit of dialog from Fi (for a change) was about how oral history is a most unreliable form of transmitting data across time. In other words: the fact that every Zelda game doesn't line up perfectly is because a legend is just that: an imperfect retelling of whatever real events inspired the legend.
And frankly, because of that Skyward Sword caused some feels and chills at certain points. As it is, effectively, the only "objective" Legend of Zelda. The truth behind the legend, and truth behind the point of origin. Everything else becomes hearsay, distorted tales from later generations. In a sense it is a most clever way to retcon all of the Zelda franchise's history.
Here's a pair of questions I've been wondering about.(Since I'm one of those that had to recalibrate fairly often.) So I figure I could just ask everybody. Did you have to calibrate a lot? Second, when you were playing in what compass direction in real life were you facing?
I didn't have to recalibrate a lot. But, I also sat so that the wiimote was in view of the sensor bar most of the time. There seems to be something of a myth surrounding the game - that it uses gyro calibration only, doesn't use the sensor bar, etc, therefore doesn't work well. Apparently that's not true; the wiimote does ping the sensor bar to check its position in the absolute and auto-calibrates every so often. But a lot of people appeared to have played the game by sitting close to the TV, holding the wiimote down and out of view of the sensor bar, etc.
My compass direction for the Wii/TV in the room is almost straight south. Not sure if that matters, I didn't think Motion+ had a magnetic sensor in it, like PS Move does.
I am sorry if you had a lot of trouble with calibration. It's one of the more divisive issues with the game, since a lot of people honestly had little trouble, but others seem to have a lot of trouble.
