Is The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword being overshadowed?

It's not being overshadowed , it's jut not worth talking about . Not that it's a bad game , it's just OK . nothing special .

Griharim is also one of the worst bosses I have ever seen in a Zelda game or Nintendo game in general. I can not think of a single good thing about this character, seeing as everything they were trying to do with him failed on a spectacular level.

I'm not too sure what they were trying to do with him. He looked silly in his "true" form, and his demise was none too climactic, but I still thought he was a pretty cool villain, and his boss fight (the first time, mind you. Yet another 3-time bossfight.) was quite fun and really did seem to make Link look like a weakling at the time, which shows some progression (albeit WAY too much... the enemy horde at the end was ridiculously easy because the True Master Sword can kill an iron shield bulblin in two or three hits)

I will agree 140% with the imprisoned con, however. The worst boss battles in the history of Zelda. It wasn't fun, it wasn't well designed, it wasn't interesting, it was simply pure shit.

Absolutely. I'd take any boss of your choice over the imprisoned... forty Bigoctos! TP's bridge fight for the rest of my life! ANYTHING!

The game was fun overall though. Not nearly as good as most of the other 3D console Zelda's (OoT, MM and WW are superior, but TP is inferior). Worst thing about the game, aside from the imprisoned, was simply how unbelievably repetitive the entire game was.

To be honest, I liked Twilight Princess a lot. It's very, very dark. It's a nice break from the normal happy colorful Zelda (OoT and MM obviously weren't upbeat either, but MM is the prequel to TP) and it, again, genuinely felt like the world was in trouble. The feeling the game gives you when youre running around the Twilight Realm is: you're alone, and you're fucked. I like that feeling in a game, and the final fight with Ganondorf being epic as it was made the victory even sweeter.

I disagree. I still believe Ocarina of Time to be the best Zelda out of the bunch (with Link to the Past, Link's Awakening and Majora's Mask close behind it). It created a certain level of quality for the rest of the series to live up to, which unfortunately hasn't happened yet. I'm sure the day will come that a game will one day be able to throw the game off its throne, but SS or any of the previous games aren't it.

Agreed, although I find Wind Waker to be one of the most fun games I've played. Except carting around Medli.. damn her.

It's just overshadowed here because people generally don't like Nintendo, or at least not the Wii. I love Skyward Sword. It's my game of the year, and will probably crack my top ten.
