These days, it’s generally inadvisable to purchase a game sight unseen without checking reviews first, but if there’s any series that merits complete trust based on its track record, it’s Zelda. So it’s no surprise that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is a must-play not only for all Zelda fans, but all Wii owners in general. In nearly every way, it upholds the high standard of the series and is a worthy entry to mark Zelda’s 25th anniversary.

For many people, that’s all that needs to be said – the rest is like a giant present that takes upwards of 50 hours to unwrap, and discussing what’s under each new layer only spoils the fun. With that said, we’ll keep this review spoiler-free and hit the main points of interest without ruining too much of the magic of discovery.

A perfectly balanced mix of innovation and classic Zelda gameplay, Skyward Sword truly lives up to the Zelda legacy of excellence and offers the most variety of any Zelda game to date. Its swordplay and puzzles are some of the best in the series, and seeing Link and Zelda’s first story chronologically is a treat for longtime fans.

Finally, if you are wondering why it didn’t get that perfect 10, head over to GamesRadar to read the whole review.
