Thats been my biggest problem with the series since oot. (alleviated in mm cause of all the sidestuff to do).

TP was by far the worst, a giant world, with absolutely nothing in it, that you are forced to do in a specific order.

Skyward sword was smaller, but more focused with much better pacing, and a story that was so full of zelda/triforce lore epicness and awesome events, excellent dungeons and bosses, and fantastic motion controls, that the fact zelda hasnt been adventure exploration in years just didnt bother me with ss.

Skyward swords linearity is blatantly the obvious result of a team to small to give a classic (pre oot) open zelda experience with the production values ss was shooting for, combined with the wiis hardware restraints.

Zelda u's team is huge thanks to nintendos expansions, and the wii u does not suffer wiis shackles.

This next one... Its going to be something else...

I actually enjoyed TP a lot, but I do agree with what you said as far as empty worlds and hand holding goes.

It took me 2 years for Twilight Princess. Get on my level.

im currently replaying Twilight Princess now, and if you didnt like it, you probably won't care for SS. I like it overall, but here are some dislikes i had: the motion controls were forced on you most of the game, there were times Link was very hard to control, the game is a little long. Now here's the real deal: if you are a real Zelda fan you're gonna love it for the story. It was absolutely stunning. The music was great, they added a few rpg elements that i liked. bottom line, if you didnt like TP and you don't have a lot of time to spend on a Zelda title, you may want to put this one on the backburner for a little while. But i wouldnt

I grew up on LoZ games and Twilight and Skyward are both games I missed out on, Once I get my Wii U those will most def be in my game library.
