If you look up ‘intrepid’ in the dictionary, there’s just a

picture of Link. Well OK, in the Hyrule dictionary... The

little guy sure gets around and this adventure, regarded

by many as the best of the Zelda games, comes to the

Wii U after sorties into the worlds of Gamecube and

waggly Wii. It also comes from right here in Australia,

where it’s been lovingly recreated in HD, boasting

many an improved texture, gameplay tweaks (the GamePad really

comes into its own here), and also amiibo support. For those not up

with the story, basically Link is turned into a wolf and has to restore

light spirits in order to save Hyrule. Yay intrepidness!

R

ings are like SO last century! The Octagon is where it’s

a

t now, and this new UFC outing from sports maestros

E

A is the best way to get in on the action this side of

ri

sking serious ouchiness for real. A mass of new game

m

odes have been shoehorned in, along with an impressive

ro

ster of both chick and bloke fighters that boasts both

c

urrent and former stars – plus the odd ringer such as ear-

c

homping legend Mike Tyson and, with some work, the

king of martial ar

ts, Bruce Lee. With more stunning characterisation than

ever, tweaked controls and a shiny new physics engine,

UFC 2

is... wait

for it... a knockout! (Try the chicken, we’ll be here all week.)
