Skyward Sword wins Nintendo Power Game of the Year Award

Recently, the popular Nintendo-related magazine Nintendo Power released their March 2012 issue. As with every March issue, this one contained the annual Nintendo Power Awards. They give awards to games on Nintendo systems corresponding to each category. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword won in the following categories: Wii Game of the Year, Best Adventure Game, and Most Infuriating (Fun Fun Island). But the big prize that this mammoth of a game took home was the Overall Game of the Year Award. This was the game that was considered by staff and readers to be the best game of the year, not just on Wii, but on any Nintendo system. You can read the caption beneath the award after the jump.

“As the 25th Anniversary of the franchises worldwide debut, 2011 was a banner year for the Legend of Zelda series. A 3D enhanced version of the beloved Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time? Awesome! An updated Four Swords on DSiWare? Sign us up! But the crowning achievement was the long-awaited Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for Wii. The first Zelda game built from the ground up for that console, Skyward Sword has it all, from a beautiful watercolor aesthetic to innovative motion controls to and original storyline that explores the origins of the Master Sword and Hyrule itself. A massive quest makes it easy to while away hours immersed in the game’s forests, deserts, and dungeons, using swordplay and items to slay foes and solve puzzles-and we can’t think of a more enjoyable way to spend our time.”
