I finished the main quest of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom over the weekend, and found most of the collectables. I decided to use a guide to get the last few and was really pleased with myself at how few I hadn't found on my own. This is the first game in a long time that I just sat down and enjoyed without any guides or looking anything up on the internet, and it was an absolutely amazing experience.
After that I started on Skyward Sword HD, another Zelda title that I have never played before. I'm still not sure about the controller controls but I've made it through the first dungeon and I have enjoyed it so far. I might give the Switch motion controls a try and see if they feel more natural, and I might also boot it up on my modded Wii just to compare; I feel like the Wiimote would feel more sword-like in my hands ๐ค
I personally prefered motion controls since i got canera control that way. But i was never capable of doing the precice motions the game asked of me. But finding workarounds was fun in its own way
I think I'm going to find my wrist straps for the joycons and give it a go this weekend ๐ผ
Skyward Sword was a weird one for me. The motion controls drove me nuts almost all the time, except when they didn't and I was having a blast. Unfortunately, that wasn't super often, and when I finally did get into a groove, it was the very end of the game. The final boss felt really good. But then it was over.
The third dungeon is also one of my favorites in the series and the story has one of my favorite Zeldas (the character) in the series, too. At the same time, there were also large stretches I hated. So many ups and downs for me.
