Link, I believe, is very much a stripped back character. Think about it, everyone, every character is an amalgamation of concepts. Where you're from, what you like, what you don't like. In each game, we are given pretty limited background information on Link and his origins. From OoT, we know...

On the unflattering end of the spectrum, Aussies (pronounced "ozzies" not "aussssssies") view American as loud and obnoxious in the same way that we are viewed by others as drunk and racist. On the positive side, American are seen as the warmest of people, who genuinely show affection and...

The best way to describe Australia to an American who knows nothing about it, is to say that it's like Canada, except slightly smaller in every way. Slightly smaller in size, slightly smaller in population, slightly smaller in world-influence, slightly smaller in economy, etc. The best way...

When Fi told Link that the time they spent together was amongst the most precious data she had, it kind of broke my heart for a bit.

What will probably appear: Skyloft (variations in floating platforms of different heights may make this stage very vertical). What I'd like to appear: Faron Woods that floods sometimes (pretty self-explanatory). Maybe the sky overworld, with individual islands as platforms and gusts of...

Yes, go for it. This Zelda is arguably the most RPG'ish of the modern Zeldas, plus, it does what no other game except maybe Red Steel does, and that is, legitimise motion controls for action/adventure games. Plus, Zelda games are puzzle heavy. If you enjoy puzzles, and RPGs, then Zelda is a...

Well, if you'll recall, Impa was a character in not just OoT, but also in either the first or the second Zelda, as Zelda's protector. She is a recurring character, many references have been made to her, such a with Impaz in Twilight Princess. The rationale behind her is that this is in...

G4 gives it a 4 out of 5, Shack News has reviewed it but it is scoreless.

Giant Bomb gave Skyward Sword a 4/5. It gave Ocarina of Time on the 3DS a 5/5. ...

It appears from other reviews that Skyward Sword didn't hit it out of the park either. I think we're at a three way tie here between Batman, Zelda, and Skyrim, and possibly Portal 2 if you must ask.

Guess what, Skyrim didn't hit it out of the park. I think we have our winner. Skyward Sword, followed closely by Batman or Portal 2. Unless (and I don't think this is likely) that Assassins Creed just absolutely smashes it, but it won't.

Finally, an explanation. Ok, will do.

So the first two are obviously the Skyview Temple and The Earth Temple. Is the third the Lanayru Mining Facility?

Ok, I'm a little conflicted here. I know that these are in fact dungeons, but I've not come across them in any order before. Can you please source this and I'll put it up?

Technically, you're correct. Except Skyward Sword has only 4 reviews, Batman has been released and has an industry of reviews behind it. I didn't want to jump the gun and proclaim it the best game of the year so far because it hasn't come out yet. Nevertheless, I would not count out Skyrim, it...
