Issue 102 of Official Nintendo Magazine has come out, and with that their scores of many games including A Link Between Words. Spoiler, A Link Between Worlds received a fantastic score. In fact, compared to the rest of the games that Official Nintendo Magazine reviewed, it had absolutely the best score, followed closely by Super Mario 3D World. Hit the jump to read more!

Community gaming site, GoNintendo, has recently gone around the web and found reviews of A Link Between Worlds from each of the major gaming sites, including IGN, Eurogamer, and Kotaku. They have published a compilation of links to all of these various interviews, which can be found here, but if you’re not one for sifting through an orderly stack of information just to get a general idea of what’s being said, hit the jump to read about what some people…

The floodgates have opened when it comes to A Link Between Worlds reviews, and it appears that Nintendo’s latest Zelda game is off to a sprinting start critically. Game Informer has given the highly anticipated 3DS game top marks in its latest print issue, according to readers posting details from the review online. Hit the jump for more.

Now that Derrick of GameXplain has fully completed A Link Between Worlds, he’s started answering general questions from fans about what the 3DS title entails. Without going too in-depth about specific details of the game, he explains as best as he can some of game details. If you have some questions about A Link Between Worlds there’s a good chance it’s answered in this video. Hit the jump to watch!

I mentioned a while ago that I was a fan of Ben ‘Yahtzee’ Crowshaw’s Zero Punctuation review series, even if the videos haven’t been as funny as they used to be. He has reviewed a few Zelda games over the years and, while they haven’t been especially positive reviews, he has stated a few times how much he enjoyed The Wind Waker on the GameCube. He is probably one of the few people that actually enjoyed spending ages sailing between…

Alright, well here it is: The last leg of the journey. The final destination. The Minish Cap’s end dungeon! Now this is an interesting one. Hyrule Castle is visited surprisingly rarely in the series, and when it is it’s usually a hostile place under enemy control. And as was the case in Twilight Princess, Hyrule Castle is again the final dungeon. It’s kind of funny too, because at first it seemed like The Minish Cap broke this tradition: It’s one…

Sorry for the two-week hiatus, but it’s finally time for me to review the Forsaken Fortress. This dungeon is easily The Wind Waker’s most iconic. Dragon Roost Cavern was shown a lot in trailers, but the Forsaken Fortress featured in numerous pieces of the game’s artwork, is home to most of the game’s most significant enemies, and is visited twice due to its great story importance. The Forsaken Fortress is an odd case. While there are a few other dungeons…

The Tower of the Gods is one of the few dungeons in The Wind Waker that I’m just a little bit at a loss for words on. I like it… but it’s a bit challenging to justify why (that will make more sense later in the review). So it might take me some time to explain. Bear with me! This dungeon has a concept that few dungeons — mainly just the Great Palace from Adventure of Link — had prior…

Although the Forsaken Fortress is first visited before Dragon Roost Cavern, I’m starting this series off with this dungeon and reviewing all the Forsaken Fortress portions at the same time during its revisit. Dragon Roost Cavern is the first full-on dungeon of The Wind Waker, with its predecessor being essentially only half of a dungeon, and one that deviates from the format of the rest of the dungeons in the game at that. As a result, while it falls prey…

Only 24 hours since the first announcement of what fans are calling A Link to the Past II and already we are starving for more information. Well YouTube reviewer GameXplain and Adam Sessler for Rev3Games have recently posted their hands on videos of the gameplay providing us with just a little more information. They play the same temple seen in the Nintendo Direct but they do elaborate upon the little elements of the gameplay and provide some explanations for some…
