I’m a bit late to this, but Skyward Sword was released on November 20th in North America. I can hardly wait to pick up a copy. From the reviews that I’ve read so far, it sounds as though some critics think that it’s the greatest Zelda game since Ocarina of Time, and others think that it’s more of the same as the previous games in the series, with no new real innovation to speak of. I’ll give my impressions once I play it.
