The first verdict for The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is in. Game Informer provided a review in its latest issue, handing out a perfect 10/10 score.

The publication had high praise for the structure, music, visuals, and new item rental/purchase system, which technically allows players to obtain any available item at the very start of the game. Puzzles are also said to be as tricky as ever with Game Informer stating dungeons feature “devious traps and incredibly tricky puzzles.”

Shin’en is advising fans to watch tomorrow’s European Nintendo Direct. The company posted the following message on Twitter just a short while ago:

A new Nintendo Direct will be streamed tomorrow. Nintendo just announced the presentation, and confirmed upcoming 3DS titles slated to arrive through early 2014 will be covered.

You’ll be able to watch the North American broadcast here, though we’ll have it on the site as well. It’s set to begin at 11 AM ET / 8 AM PT.

The past few Zelda titles have been notorious for their lengthy introductions. Games like Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword have take a relatively long period of time just to reach the first dungeon.

The same can’t be said of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Kotaku reports that players will find themselves in the game’s first dungeon in about five minutes.

How does that stack up to some of the other Zeldas? It takes 70 minutes to reach the first dungeon in Skyward Sword, 20 minutes to arrive at the first dungeon in Ocarina of Time, and 2 minutes to enter the castle basement in A Link to the Past.

Various comparison videos and frame rate tests have been published (see below) along with an in-depth analysis. Ghosts has a couple of things going for it on Wii U, but Digital Foundry criticized the game’s frame rate, textures, and inconsistent level of performance.
