Started playing Skyward Sword yesterday. I was enjoying it, but it takes too long to get going. Many games seem to do this, I know they have to set the world up etc etc, but I felt like I had 10 minutes of gameplay, but the game clock thinks I have been playing for an hour or so.

Surely there is a better way. Anyway, now I have the sword and shield and can get off the island for some proper Zelda action! The sword thing seems quite interesting, except not putting the sword when you just go for a walk in a dungeon area Link ends up pointing his sword off lookng generally weird. Good for a laugh. The back ground graphics look nice and I like the oil painting sort of style they have gone for, but the faces are a bit ugly.

Gotta get some more in now.
