What a way to start off the semester is all I can say. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is one of two Zelda games to be released for the 25th anniversary of the series, the other being the remade Ocarina of Time for 3DS.. but anyways, let’s get down to it. Skyward Sword is a very solid game, which is something Nintendo has been struggling with as of late. For not being in HD, Skyward Sword’s art direction is amazing. The same can also be said for its musical score which in and of it’s self could stand alone as a masterpiece. Honestly the only real problems I have are that they really didn’t utilize the sky area well for exploration and the surface areas felt very linear at times but overall it still wowed me into a 9 out of 10.
