I don't know, reviews mean nothing to me, except to gauge how much the critics like it. That said, it's good that they're really enjoying it.

THIS is the kinda praise FFXV SHOULD have received. Too bad FF is never going to be what it used to be. Zelda seems to at least never lost touch with itself. Shame on FF.

FF isn't consistent like LoZ. So it will never get this sort of praise. The fanbase is irreversibly divided

Never say never.

I think some would consider Zelda 2 an entry that lost touch. Some also didn't like the DS games for some reason (I loved them though).

Divided between those who want turn-based and those who want real time?

I can't take his praise very seriously when he proclaims Zelda "Gaming's best loved and greatest series" simply because he's judging the game as a clear Zelda fanboy.

But the previews in general seem to be extremely positive which is always good to hear.

The Zelda series is one of the most consistently high rated franchise in the industry. So it's debatable if it's factual or not, or if it's simply coming from a biased point of view.
