First Review: OFM Gives Skyward Sword a 98%.

 
 
It already seems that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is quite the record breaker. It is Nintendo’s most ambitious title to date, holding a longer production time than any game in Nintendo’s history. It is breaking the mold of all previous Zelda games, with elements such as 1:1 controls and remixed navigation. It has even secured more preorders than any other Zelda game to date.

Again, although the game is still “in development”, this likely is just about what you will experience during the first fifteen minutes of the game. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
