all of the Zelda games are pretty high quality. skyward sword's biggest failing is trying to make the overworld a puzzle, something you couldn't mindlessly traverse, and I guess they did that, it's just that it wasn't really all that good and it sacrificed what little freedom the series had left for players.

TP was the illusion of freedom, but at least it had that. I really like SS, I think it gets a bum rap for being so ridiculously overrated by critics. they were at a fork in the road here and went in the less desirable direction. There is clearly the willingness to shake things up, but they stripped the wrong things and left in all the stale elements.

I mean, Skyward Sword really didn't have an overworld. The "sky" tries to be the overworld, but it really doesn't cut it. The world ended up feeling too segmented, almost like it was level-based.

I liked Skyward Sword except for that aspect.

Now I like TP -- not as much as Wind Waker -- but I do like TP. The overworld is a bit sparse though.
