It's fundamentally challenging to perfectly describe what makes a game worthwhile to another. The gaming community is diverse, as well as the scales that we all use to judge whether we find a game good or not. Skyward Sword is no different. During the early stages of its release, the reaction was mixed. Now that the game is approaching its third year anniversary, the general opinion is a lot more unified. "It's a good game, but not my favourite Zelda game." This has become a catchphrase of sorts when describing the game. It's not completely untrue though, as there are multiple titles in the Zelda series alone that arguably possess certain marks that Skyward Sword can't match up to. Nevertheless, this game has managed to leave an impression on us that has us, nearly three years later, wondering what it was about this game that makes us look back on it with rose-tinted glasses. The answer to that is not any particular element of the game itself but a collection of memorable aspects that end up being packaged together to present a remarkable adventure that can only be described as a wonderfully unique experience.
