THE Legend Of Zelda series will no doubt hold a special place in the hearts of many gamers, some who’ve grown up with its earliest NES outings to those who first dabbled in the Ocarina Of Time or those with only fond handheld memories to look back on.

Skyward Sword demands that any gamer with a desire for a top-five gaming experience ever should buy a Wii, MotionPlus accessory and lock themselves in a room with a telly for a fortnight.

Beautifully realised from every angle – storyline, swordsmanship controls, musical score, graphical detail – this is the ultimate Zelda adventure that will unite those nostalgic memories, place them gently to one side, and allow your mind to lose itself to Skyward Sword.

The perfect balance between motion-sensing innovation and familiar Zelda gameplay, this is likely to go down as the Wii’s finest hour, as the clock starts counting down...

5/5
