Skyward Sword vs Skyrim: Story

If you remember a while back, we are pitting Skyward Sword against Skyrim. (Yes, I know, Skyrim isn't Nintendo...haters will hate) Anyway,  I (4EVER, the one whose opinion actually matters) will be comparing the various aspects of Skyward Sword and Skyrim. Oh, and for those fanboys out there claiming I will be biased simply because I'm writing this in on the Nintendo Blog as opposed to the Other Games blog...silence. And for those about to say: "SKYRIM HAS BETTER GRAPHICSZ!!!" Shut up.

Skyward Sword: To begin, I must say that this is the best story in a Zelda game to date. Although it remains formulaic (Zelda is captured, save her) so much is new. This story brings together the history of the Zelda franchise and explains the reason many of the series' stories exist in the first place. A prequel, this game tells the epic tale of Link trying to save his childhood friend Zelda from the land below. Set in a land above the clouds, all the people there never go below for fear of monsters and their birds won't go down. When Zelda is taken, you must go below the clouds to rescue her. Soon, you uncover the plot of the Demon Lord Ghirahim as he tries to resurrect his Master using Zelda. The story also has some wonderful characters. Just about everyone is memorable, from the dialogue, to the exaggerated actions they perform, you will love the tale told in this game and you will love the characters; from the evil Ghirahim to the small roles of Calwin and Pipit. 

Skyrim: The story in this game feels like a tale from a huge fantasy book brought to life. A tale of rebellion (civil war) and Dragons, this is immense. Actually, there are so many stories in Skyrim you will find it hard to find them all. Some are really interesting like the main story and the Winterhold quests, while some are very dull. A good story is when you have to plunder an ancient dungeon in search of a magical artifact. Those stories bring up the fantasy writer in all of us. Bad stories fall on: I left my butt scratcher in the cave of death. Could you get it for me/]? Overall though, Skyrim has a great tale. The characters are unfortunately forgettable and uninteresting. The script writing isn't strong enough for people †o like these characters and they all blend together. Most of the time, you'll see: guy on throne = Jarl (king) and never be interested enough to remember his name. Overall though, the better stories in Skyrim more than make up for the lackluster ones and the weak characters
