Skyward Sword is a 10 for a lot of people. Just like majora's mask (or even more), it's punished because it does something different with the zelda formula and obviously that causes a lot of mixed reaction within the fanbase, that doesn't change the quality of the game.

Pretty cover.

My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Zelda BotW will be a great game. I can't wait to play it after Nier, Nioh and HZD. So many great games to play.

I just realized I'll be in the UK by the end of March, so I'll definitely be looking for the March issue of Edge, I really like the cover art and it doesn't happen frequently that a Zelda game is reviewed

Yep, and I totally agree with those scores. I still think that SS is a masterpiece, and TP is actually a more flawed game. Not a popular opinion maybe, but it's mine XD.

They gave Skyward Sword a 10/10 too. While it not a bad game at all, it's absolutely not perfect and possibly the least liked Zelda game. There might be some Zelda bias at EDGE.
