I'll let you know in about ten days.

First handheld game to score that highly since Metroid Fusion in the January 2003 edition over ten years ago! And other than Bioshock Infinite, the only perfect 10 they've given this year. GI gives anywhere from 0 to 3 perfect scores a year, with the last year with multiple perfect scores being 2011.

Previously, the top 3DS game according to Game Informer was SM3DL, with a 9.5, and four other games got scores of 9 or more: Ocarina of Time 3D, Street Fighter 4, RE: Revelations, and Fire Emblem: Awakening.

I swear, if THIS ends up being the game that reinvigorates Zelda... I'd be pleased as punch to get it!

If this is just aping around, then Aonuma is the best ape Nintendo's had since Donkey Kong and Creatures Inc!

Great news! Zelda games are some of the highest quality games Nintendo offers... consistently high ratings, I love it!

Yawn, I knew it would get un godly good scores anything Nintendo made seems to :-/

Or you know....Nintendo games are good, crazy right?

Also, http://www.metacritic.com/company/nintendo?filter-options=games&num_items=30&sort_options=metascore&page=0

Let's say godly is 90+ score. The 90s end in the second page, from half the second page to the 23th page the scores are below that. So yeah everyone gives Nintendo godly scores...

Yeahhhh, why do you always say negative things coming into a nintendo thread, i notice this alot withyou. Your statement makes no sense as all nintendo games released the past year or two hasnt got many 90+. Look at the last couple of Nintendo games released in the past 2 months, aside from pokemon xy which scored a 87 on meta, all games are doing below average!

BTW this game probably deserves that score, if you knew zelda you kno this game looks to deliver. Go on with your Biased statements, cuz everybody will notice your hate toward nintendo. Game got a 10/10 cuz its well........ A Great Game

This game makes it hard for me to stick to my no handheld policy.

Only this game? :D
