So after finishing the only thing I can say is... wow.
Amazing, really was something special, the only gripe I had with it was that it ended.

Friend of mine was complaining he was dying to loads of BS combined with rarity of hearts. Something to do with
getting knocked into sand pits by dumb enemies, getting tossed out of the sand pits, and then getting knocked back in by said enemy; dumb enemies with electric weapons; and some other stuff.
I didn't die until the fourth dungeon, but since then I've died a lot. I really appreciate that there are moments in the game where I'm tensed up because I am in actual danger of dying. Haven't felt like that in a Zelda game since...well, Zelda 2, lol.

The trials especially put a great tension on me.
That music and that time limit. Wow.

The trials are amazing. It is practically the same exact game mechanic as the wii game Silent Hill Shattered Memories...only way more fun.

You definitely should not be dying earlier on. Then again, everyone varies on their skill level.
It's also akin with the Temple of the Ocean King/Tower of Spirits from PH/ST. Seeing as how the team that developed those games went on to make the bulk of SS, it was a natural progression. The Guardians are very reminiscent of Phantoms. My thoughts now cross into the theoretical zone, so I must hop to the other thread!
I like how they took the worst parts of TP and PH for the trials, combined them, and somehow made something that is not terrible.
You're just in autopilot mode because of previous 3D Zeldas having combat as more of a non threatening afterthought.
As soon as you stop being overly aggressive and focus on the combat, you'll be fine.
You still might die every now and again though.
Also agreed the trials kept me in constant fffff scared mode, took me 2 goes on the first 3, but the final one I managed to finish first time round, by a hair! Was exciting. XD

The
one was hardest jeeebus

Because of sprinting. That mechanic saved the series. Had they not implemented it in Skyward Sword, the game would be a lot less enjoyable.
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE :o
Oh yeah, Link's improved mobility is a huge part of what makes this game such a success. The sprinting, the wall jump, the leaping across vines or up ladders. Link no longer feels like a prisoner of archaic movement schemes- and please don't bring up some snarky stuff about the motion controls because that's not what I'm talking about.
Though, still, I wouldn't mind a jump button sometimes, lol.

I think this is a great addition to the series. And you do have a forward jump but I'm not exactly sure what purpose it serves
Oh yeah, that little hop forward when you Z target? No clue. it looks pretty silly too.

Agreed. The only time I used it was in the
temple because the jumping mechanic was a little faulty on those
platform things. I think its for the jump slash only though I don't see a point in making it a two step process. I hardly use that move in this game compared to the previous ones.

Its bad cuz enemies always approach you or stand still, you have to jump sideways or away but never towards them. Its there for the sake of completion and the aerial strike.
Seriously give me some more interactive enemies. If i run away, make them instantly use a projectile. Or teleport to me. The slow walking thing is outdated. Not enough pressure.

Although I wish the enemies were more aggressive, I am impressed with the little things they did to the AI. The way Bokoblins freak and run at the sight of a bomb, or how a DekuBaba will eat one up right away. Or the way those big guys with the shields get frustrated with their shield if you cut it up to much, then they throw it to the side and charge you.
Also, I use the jumpslash as an opening attack. Try to bumrush them from behind and jumpslash.
IMO the most annoying enemy is actually the yellow chuchus.

It's the Jump Attack's initiation. Do a downward slash when you leave the ground.
Yes, I experiment with long things a lot.

The most fun were definitely stalfos
with four arms
I liked the Stalfos that tripped on its head when it died LOL.
Also I like to whip Bokoblins purely for entertainment.

Techoblins annoy the crap out of me, I usually end up hitting them wrong, get shocked, go in for another swing and have them lift their sword at the right moment and shock me again.

The most annoying so far I think was being in a room with two Beamos that are within range of each other. You are guaranteed to get zapped by both multiple times lol
there are a few boss fights where you can actually gain hearts out of, so I just picked the hardest fight first...I only did it once but I also think it goes in sets, as in if you pick something from the middle it'll do the other middle fights before going on to the next set, so picking middle or later first gives you a good chance at getting those easy fights later on
