    Great action RPG game, yet in the end too hard for me.

    I have never played a game in which I had to solve so many puzzles. The main hero, Link, must fight his way to save princess Zelda from the Demise. Throughout the game, one must overcome many bosses, some of them ridicu... Read Full Review

    One of the most polarizing "Zelda" entries...is honestly one of my favorites.

    Before anything, I have to say that I can't believe I've gotten here. I started playing the 3D "The Legend of Zelda" games back in December (and the original "The Legend of Zelda," for that matter), and I knew from the j... Read Full Review

    Good game, more could have been much better.

    The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword disappointed me, perhaps because I expect a game from the level of Twilight Princess, but unfortunately it is not, the gameplay has almost no evolution, the graphics are beautiful, the ... Read Full Review

    This is my favorite of Zelda's legends

    Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is nintendo's followup to Twilight princess. The best way to describe it is a combination of the colorful art style of Windwaker and the more mature look of Twilight Princess. The plot of ... Read Full Review
