Times like these, I wish I had a 3DS.

so buy one maybe? There's plenty of other good games, and the price has gotten quite reasonable. I wish for things that are a little more unlikely, like being a billionaire, or being able to solve all the problems in the world. no need to wish you had a 3ds, just go buy one. lol.

Great to hear but GI is not the best source for Zelda reviews, just sayin.

No. Phil Kollar reviewed Skyward Sword while he worked here. This is my second Zelda review for GI, after doing The Wind Waker HD a couple months ago. Like I said earlier, I would have given SS a 9.

The only Zelda games I would give a 10 to are A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, and this one.

Ah, sorry I missed your earlier post. That is helpful information.

Just pre-ordered the 3DS-XL from bestbuy :-/

This is honestly making me wonder if I should cancel my PS4 pre-order since I don't have anything on it that I want to play at the moment and I have it ordered just for kicks

I'm sorry but The Last Of Us is a truly epic emotional roller coaster that makes me cry every time I put the Blue Ray disc into my PS3 because feelings are so strong with this one; I mean you can see the sadness in Joel's eyes and Link's eyes in ALBW are not recognizable because Nintendo thought it was a good idea to release a clearly outdated handheld with no future in a few months so that the texture resolution on his eyes is garbage - Naughty Gods eat EADliens for breakfast, that's the new world order and I hope you are well aware that for every perfect score ALBW receives The Last Of Us gets a point more in my book (It's currently at 12/10)

So, no, sorry man

What is it with some Nintendo fans and Naughty Dog? Geez.

Anyway, I'd like to say I'm surprised, but I ain't. I've always believed this game would be something special

This thread is no longer about A Link Between Worlds

It's about the evil people liking the DS games over Link's Awakening. My soul has been damaged. You will pay evil ones.

Well maybe he can blame the button placement on the 3DS or something

I've been making my XL work overtime while playing Ocarina of Time and VLR. Now this? My PS3 is going to be dusty by the end of the month.

Or you could accept the fact that maybe he/she didn't like The Last of Us and feel that Link Between World will be his/her, game of the year.

Not everyone thinks the same way as you do.

Beside the term "game of the year" get thrown around so much that it lost its meaning.

Look: if I was deadly sick, I mean really sick, and had to choose between the cure or a hour with The Last Of Us, I would choose The Last Of Us

Because you didn't live if you haven't experienced this emotional masterpiece

What are you doing, Nintendo? Have I gotten not enough back log on 3DS? Where am I going to find the time to finish all these 3DS games?

Edit: Sorry for veering off topic.

Every Zelda gets perfect scores, even if they are far from perfect. Just saying.

Still looking forward to this game, more than Mario, but I'd be shocked if it's as good as GI is claiming. We'll see.

Sort of expected. Thinking about it, the press never had a problem with any of the Zelda games. Up to this point none of the games have reviewed bad. The flak Zelda gets nowadays is only coming from fans.

I don't attach much weight to review scores most of the time, but I have to admit, my eyes widened when I saw that 10/10 in the thread title. Oh man...oh man.

Game Informer concluded with the following:

I want to let the experience roll around in my brain for a while before I decide where it ranks among the best entries in the franchise, but I can say with confidence that it should be spoken in the same breath as A Link to the Past. In every way, A Link Between Worlds is exactly what you want out of a Zelda game.

Nice!
All the next gen hype makes me forget sometimes that the two games I am most hyped for aren't even on NextGen consoles(Zelda and Tearaway)
