The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Nintendo Wii

This is probably the best zelda game to date. better than ocrania of time. the controls are fairly simple to pick up and play. swing the wii remote to slash your sword, and the nun chuck stick to move around. also swinging the nun chuck makes link do a spin attack. the buttons on the nun chuck are for looking around, while the wii remote are for picking up items and navigating through you items. the story is great as well. it will keep you intrested and wanting to find out what happens next. the length of the game is around 40 hours of actual game play I think. I am about halfways in the game and have put about 20 or so hours into it. so I think it is rather long. the graphics in this game are as good as the gamecube graphics, but nothing bad. the difficultly in this game is kind of hard, especially if you do not have a strategy guide to help you like me. but this is a great game, if you own a nintendo wii go out and buy this game you won't be dissapointed.

Zelda being one of the best Nintendo franchises (if not the best), this was a must play game for me. After finishing story and optional quests (50 PLUS HOURS), here is what I think. PROS. PLENTY OF DUNGEONS: Just like previous Zelda games, this consists of a big world map and then plenty of dungeons in the world map. As the story progress, you will have access to different dungeons and as you make your way through different dungeons, you will encounter different enemies, obtain different items and finally fight a major boss. However, things are not as repetitive as it sounds. The story does very good job motivating you why you should go through each dungeon, plus, between the dungeon you are required to and also you have an option to do many different things (see below for more details) WOLF/HUMAN GAMEPLAY: So as you may know, in this game you can turn into a wolf (more like you are forcefully turned into this creature in the beginning). To progress through the story (and to get access to different dungeons), you are required to do perform tasks at both human and a wolf. In the beginning of the game, this may feel a bit redundant; however, as you go forward (say about finishing first three dungeons), this will actually become fun. Both being human and wolf has their own advantages for both in combat and accessing different areas and this game will challenge you to successfully use your abilities both as wolf and human to progress through the game. WEAPONS AND GADGETS: As many of you may know, Zelda games are famous for weapons and gadgets you get to use. This game is no exception. As you progress through the story, especially when you go to different dungeons, you will get access to different gadgets. Boy these gadgets are fun to use. Creative use of gadgets is required to solve many puzzles in many dungeons, beat bosses and get secret treasures. BOSSES: There are plenty of sweet bosses in this game. As mentioned above, each dungeon will contain one major boss. Some dungeons have two major bosses. On top of them, there are also bosses outside of dungeon gameplay. So if you are like me and enjoy beating bosses in games, then you will love this game. Also as mentioned above, YOU WILL HAVE TO use your gadgets and human/wolf ability creatively to overcome these bosses. While earlier bosses may seem pushover, later bosses are more fun. VARIETY IN GAMEPLAY AND MINIGAMES: As mentioned above, you will be playing both as human and wolf. On top of that the story and side quests will also introduce you to different type of gameplay, such as horse riding, kayaking, swimming over and underwater, riding big birds, riding boars (slightly different than riding boars). Honestly, I love games that provide you with so many different types of experiences. SWORD AND SHIELD PLAY WITH WII MOTE: While not perfect, different moves you can do with Wii mote for using sword and shield work 90% of the time. Some moves will feel cooler than the other. LOTS AND LOTS OF SECRET ITEMS: There are hundreds and hundreds of hidden items throughout the game, some more useful than others of course. If you are a completionist, you will love hunting for these hidden treasures. And as mentioned above, creative use of gadgets truly makes this treasure hunting experience enjoyable. STORY: The game has a decent story with some what of a suspense to it. Can't describe much without spoiling it. CONS. FISHING WITH WII MOTE: Dear lord, THIS IS SO ANNOYING. To those who actually fish may find it fun, but I don't fish and I don't find it fun. Unfortunately, there are two places in the story where you are required to fish and I find that experience torturing and horrible. If you want to get all the secret items, you will have to fish more. WII VERSION UPDATE: As you may know this game was originally created for gamecube. It was pretty sweet how they made sword and shield control with wii mote, but I wish they had done more in terms of improving graphics. While wii is not known for its graphics, some games like Metroid Other M and Super Mario Galaxy look pretty awesome on it. So if they wanted, they certainly could have done better job. CONCLUSION So other than fishing and graphics, this was pretty much a perfect game for me. People who like action adventure, THIS GAME IS A MUST.

Before "Twilight Princess", the only other Zelda game I had played was the original one on my old GBA. I didn't really like that game too much so I wasn't very sure about this one when I first got it, but now I absolutely love it! It's really fun to swing your Wii remote like a sword, even if it does tend to turn into random, violent shaking after a while. I thought the graphics were amazing (far better than I would have expected), the storyline was fine, and the fact that you get to play as a wolf was really fun. Also, there are plenty of side quests so you can make this game last quite a while if you want to. My only complaint is that I had expected it to be a little more challenging, but other than that this is a really great game. Definitely worth it!

This could be the best game ever released for the Wii, with graphix that are surprisingly well rendered for the wii (though still not on par with other new-gen systems) the controlls which could have easily been clumsy and irritating, for the most part shine through fairly well with only a few hiccups, when I finished the story line I didn't feel cheated by the length, and if you are looking for even more fun go back and find all the extras, which also adds a level of optional difficulty that is perfect for the hardcore games though not necisary for those who just want to finish the story. overall one of my favorite games on the Wii

This installment in the Zelda seris is just like the rest. Amazing. You have a well written plot combined with all new gadgets like the double hookshoot and water bombs. To top it off you are a werd wolf of deminsions. You change between the real world and the world of twilight(even though you eventually get the ability to change whenever). Even through these new things you have the classic ligh arrows and Gannon. But all these things are hyped up by the Wii's controls. You aim arrows, swing your sword, and roll. All with the wii-chuck. This game lasts over 30 hours and there are many side quests.

Once I got past the beginning of this game, there was no stopping me. First of all, I love how you get to name Link and Epona whatever you want. How cool is that? And you get to ride Epona for travelling from place to place. It's so fun controlling the horse-ride! And the way Link changes from wolf to man? Totally awesome! I just love how long the game is. Like, I've been playing this game for months and I'm not even half way there! Link's different weapons are way cool. This game is definately worth its money. What sort of annoyed me was that at the cut-scenes, no one talked. You just had to read the little speech bubble thing. The graphics were pretty good, a lot better than most, but I've seen better. Throughout the game, it's really easy to get lost and not know what to do without a guide. And it's impossible to beat the bosses when you don't know how to hurt them. The dungeon parts do take very long, way too long in my opinion. When it becomes night, I really get irritated. Almost all the shops close and there are more monsters out and about. It takes a while for it to become day again. I could do without the night. All in all, this game was just amazing. It was a lot funner than I imagined. I recommend this game to anyone who likes direct fighting by hitting and stuff in games. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with this game.

This game has not let me down. I am a big Zelda fan and have bought every nintendo system just for this game. This has lived up to all the others. The only thing I wish they would have done is spent the extra money to have the people talk instead of having to read subtitles. I would rather have spent an extra 10 or 15 dollars for the game to get the full affect with having the people in the game actually talk. But other then that, this game is a MUST HAVE for your collection. I can not stop playing it. Once you pick it up it is hard to put it down.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess gets a perfect score from me. It had everything I wanted in this sort of game. It is an adventure across an enormous, vivid landscape, with an incredible amount of things to find, plenty of interesting characters, and of course, thrilling battles. My first time through the game took just over 50 hours, and I haven't even found everything yet, so this is one long adventure! If you liked any of the previous games in the "Zelda" series, pick up Twilight Princess!
