The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is out today in North America!

“…the greatest Zelda game ever created.” IGN (10/10)

“In the past 10 years, however Zelda innovation has most often meant things like swapping the horse out for the train or, in this case, for a bird. Not that the train Zelda wasn’t really good, which is sort of the point… even formulaic Zeldas can be magnificent, as is the case with Skyward Sword.” Kotaku (No score)

“Even with many bright spots, Skyward Sword still feels like a nostalgic retread. Those yearning for something new will be disappointed, but anyone thirsty for another exciting adventure will find plenty to enjoy here.” GameSpot (7.5/10)

“Skyward Sword joins Super Mario 64 as a game that almost single-handedly justifies Nintendo’s approach to hardware development, and stands as one of the best titles in the storied franchise. Still, it can’t get away from a few minor faults that stop it just short of perfection.” G4TV (No score)

“Any minor issues I had with Skyward Sword pale in comparison to the game’s massive and undeniable achievements. …Skyward Sword [is] a title that every gamer should experience.” Game Informer (10/10)

Current Metacritic Score: 95
