She's No Midna, Though

Been too sick to do much the last few days, so as it turns out I’m getting the full Skyward Sword experience. Which is tons of fun, more so than I was led to believe from everyone else's lackluster response. While I really don’t like Jean-Pierre du Fancibald, the Cirque du Soleil runaway I got for a nemesis,* the boss fights are a blast and they finally went all-out with the FINDING TREASURE aspect, which is awesome. (Also, I am in love with the Parella. Call it my cephalopod bias, but they are the best new species.)

Even F1’s obvious statements and stupid statistics aren’t nearly so obnoxious if you just pretend she’s being voiced by Anthony Daniels.

I keep scribbling down commentary as I play, though, and I kind of want to put it all together into a semi-liveblog of the game. I suppose nobody else would really be interested, but I find myself entertaining. What else is a blog for?


*It's not like it's impossible to do a cool non-Ganon nemesis in Zelda, dammit. Zant would've been fine without Ganondorf, and Majora was pretty effective for all its dialogue was mostly incoherent shrieking.
