a dark cloud has decended over the land of Hyrule, were a terrible king of twilight is slowly growing in strength and a mysteriour prophecy must be fufilled. after nearly three years of waiting and much delay (it was delayed about four times) the next instalment in the Zelda series is here. and i have to say, it was well worth the wait. first off, the graphics are amazing, even if its not on the Ps3 it is still far beyond its time. first off, i wasent a big fan of the whole cartoonish look going on in Wind Waker and when i saw that this game would be back in hyper realistic form i swooned. next thing i have to address, dare i say it, Twilight Princess is the best Zelda game since Ocarina of Time! yep, thats right. let me explaing. first, the makers of the game have finally understood the concept of huge world scale. not to be a downer on Ocarina but the land of Hyrule seemed a bit...small. after two minutes, bam, i have crossed all of Hyrule field but in this game Hyrule has blown into huge, astronomical size! Lake Hylia is gargantuan, Death Mountain just towers above (though it does have a irregular shape) and as for Hyrule Field. well even on your faithful horse, it still takes a bit of time to reach one end to the other (try about fifteen minetes on foot). also, they managed to make the game lengthy (like nearly 50-70 hours of gameplay!). also, i have to say that since this is the first Zelda game to recive a teen rating, it might be a bit much for youngsters. if you have kids that are easily scared, then they should not get this cause the twilight relm is a scary place and there is a very dark story to the game but other then that i dont see how other kids can play. now, for my opinion i say the Wii is the way to go with this version. not only do you get the more realistic way of handling a sword and besides, its Wii. but if you dont have it, Gamecube also works. truly, Twilight Princess is a great swan song for the Gamecube and a great begining for Wii. so to see the birth of a brand new legend, Twilight Princess is the must have for all

Best Zelda Yet

I'm an avid Zelda player and this is by far the most entertaining. There are dozens of adventure games out there but few have the fan base like Zelda does.

This edition is by far the most challenging (if you don't get the guide book) you actually have to think to solve puzzles and tricks Link is faced with. If you do get the guide book, it basically plays the game for you, so I don't recommend it.

The great thing about the game is you get to play as both Link and the Beast of the twilight. So it's a slight twist to use both versions of Link. The Wiimote and nunchuk make the game interactive and more captivating than the previous ones. All in all, a great game, the greatest Wii game I own by far.

Great game

The Legend of Zelda is an amazing game in graphics, amount of interaction, mental challenge, and most other things most look for in a game. The challenge aspects are even in mental and physical (swinging swords, being quick enough, etc.). There were moments in the game where I thought I would never get past the challenge, but there were also moments of triumph. Every moment is filled with anticipation, from starting out as a talented helpful farmboy, to becoming the hero of the age. When the boar-riding monsters took my two friends away, I was filled with a feeling of lust for revenge. Up until that point, there isn't much exciting happening, but don't give up. If you want to get a little adrenaline in the game for fighting a boss, or something, I suggest you pause and read the introduction another time. This is a GREAT GAME. If you need to decide which game to get with your $50, Zelda is the one to get.

Although not perfect, this is the best Zelda game

Twilight Princess is in my opinion, without a doubt, the best Legend of Zelda game in the series. However, just like any other game out there, it is not perfect. A lot of the shortcomings in this game are the same that Ocarina of Time has. What I mean by this is that you know exactly what you are getting. Beat three dungeons, plot twist, then six more dungeons, then final boss. This formula has been used for practically every single Zelda game and it's getting a little old. That is where my criticism ends. Everything else about this game is amazing and improves upon everything that has made the series great so far. My only hope is that the next Zelda, which will be specifically designed for Wii, will have a different dynamic and a more interesting formula.

Best Zelda game yet...

With a grown up makeover and beautiful graphics (even compared to XBox 360 this game still holds its own), this game is a definite value. The motion sensing isn't super-involved in this game, so don't expect super intense sword battles - for the most part the controls are similar to the past few Zelda games, but shooting your bow with the Wiimote is definitely easier than it has been in the past...and the hookshot, boomerang and all are back again.

Plus, you can fight small armies of bad guys while riding your horse and it's pretty intuitive.

Oh, and there's alot more actual killing and smashing stuff up than the previous games...if you're into that sort of thing.

Best Zelda game ever made.

This game is the best Zelda ever made in my opinion. It tops the former grand daddy of them all Ocarina of Time(OoT). Twilight Princess(TP) tops OoT in every way possible, except for that revolutionary feel OoT gave you the first time you played it. Which lets face it, we wont ever get that feeling again for a long time. It's not like we can jump from 3d gaming to 4d gaming. So anyways on to the review

Graphics: 9
The graphics are some of the Gamecube's best and are up there with Resident Evil 4. And they may not be up there with next gen standards but the first time I saw Lake Hylia, I said "Wow, that looks good."

Gameplay: 10
Don't be expecting some major change to the Zelda formula, this game takes everything that was great about the previous games and improves upon them. So basically if you love the earlier Zelda's you'll love this one too.

Sound: 9
While the sound is not fully orchestrated there are a lot of great tunes in this game. Okay I lied earlier the only thing TP isn't better than OoT is sound. OoT just had too many of the songs you kept humming to yourself and you just couldn't get them out of your head. But TP still has some nice songs.

Length/Replay value: 10
So far I've logged 43 hours and I still am coming back to it to find some poe souls or heart pieces.

Overall: 10
Basically this Zelda is one of the most amazing games I've ever played ever played. I would reccomend this to anyone and especially people who loved previous Zeldas.

An awesome addition to the series

Zelda TP for Wii is truly a revolutionary experience. A must buy if you own a Nintendo Wii console! And if you don't, what are you doing? Go get a Wii already! ;P

The controls in this game feel almost like second nature after about an hour or so of game play, and the storyline is a lot like Ocarina of Time (only a light and "twilight" world as opposed to time travel. The graphics are a good bit disappointing. Considering what was done with resident evil 4 on the game cube you'd think that Nintendo would spend some time upgrading all the elements into 3-d, but I guess with the massive size of this Zelda world and it being on a new system, the graphically lacking portions can be overlooked.

Wonderful Addition to the Zelda Universe

Twilight Princesss is a worthy addition to the Zelda Universe. There is a small learning curve while using the wii remote, but nothing more than when you buy a new game and are trying to learn which button does what on a standard controller. Onece you get used to it, you will never want a tradional controller again. The storyline is the best Nintendo has yet to offer in a Zelda game. It has a lot of depth to the story with lots of cutscenes. There are several new items to enjoy and a massive world to explore. Lastly, there are plenty of temples, unlike the wind waker that only had five or so. This is a great game, even if you don't have a wii, if you liked Ocarina of Time, buy the game cube version of the game.
