Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land Normally, comedy team Mega64 deploys just one of its members into public to act as a video game character. For The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword they sent two: one to be Link, the other to control Link.
I found Tevis Thomson’s lengthy critique chronicling the decline and fall of the Legend of Zelda franchise to be very convincing. That doesn’t quite diminish my enjoyment of more recent Zelda games, but then, I’m no Zelda super-fan. But it was hard to argue with his points about how the series has changed and in his eyes gone astray.
Meet Camille and Kennerly Kitt, identical twins and professional harpists. In the video above they crank out a rendition of “Ballad Of The Goddess” from Nintendo’s The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I should mention they’re dressed almost perfectly for the part(s) and well, to borrow from Lorraine Baines McFly, are dreamboats.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is perhaps the most compelling argument yet for “video-game-as-concert-piece”. As a game, it is a smartly designed interlocking series of puzzles, an ever-more-complex world filled with hidden secrets and challenging combat that unfolds with a uniquely Zelda-y sense of joyous excavation.

This is a strange one. Today we found out that Nintendo would be releasing a Skyward Sword Gold Bundle, featuring a gold Wii Motion Plus remote and a Zelda soundtrack. You’d think confirming this same package will be available in Australia would be as simple as calling up and double checking, but it isn’t.
