This game is by far one of the best that I've played to date. I own all the Zelda games (save for the ones for CD-i) and have beaten them all in full. I have found this game to be, so far, the most fun of them all. For some reason it seems that the dungeons aren't as hard as they were in Oracina of Time, but that might just be me. But the dungeons aren't the only fun part of this game. I was engaged during the entire game play. The music is amazing, the cinematics (what few of them they have because the entire game looks like one) were beautiful. I can't find anything wrong with this game. If you decide to buy this game, for either the Wii or the Gamecube you will most likely think that it's going by too fast, perhaps that you are nearing the end too quickly, because it seemed like that to me...Yet it kept going. There is so much length to this game that I am constantly amazed. Areas that I thought were just buildings turning into dungeons and everything being worth it till the end. You'll love this game, I assure you. I play a lot of games, this one tops them all. You'll even want to do the silly side-quests that you probably think aren't worth your time. There always seems to be a point to all of it. Never before have I seen a game like this.

My Favorite Zelda game so far!

I've always loved Zelda games. My favorite was always "Ocarina of Time".
untill this one hit the shelves.

It feels just like Ocarina of Time ((it;s hard to explain))

I LOVE THIS ONE! It has much better grapgics than Ocarina of Time, and the weapons have upgrated into a way that when you use them, you can "feel" their power. it's hard to explain, and sounds stupid, but it does feel that way.

So if your favorite Zelda game has always been Ocarina of time, you'll love this one.

if not, still try it out because it's really fun, and you'll send around 40 hours playing.
no joke, that's how long it took me.

So I was a little dissapointed when I could not find this game online for less than 60.00. The day it was released I went to wal-mart (who said they were not going to get it for a couple of weeks) had 10 copies of it that were 49.95, needless to say I bought it that night. I am very impressed with this game, the graphics, music, dungeons, and the extensive land of Hyrule makes this the best Zelda ever. I have Ocrina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Windwaker, and I loved all of those, but this one blows them all away. Thanks nintendo, for giving us gamecube lovers, one of the best gamecube games to date.

This game is totally incredible at first I didn't think it will be better than Ocarina, but its way better it starts by following the same formula that made Ocarina great, but then adds its own mix on things. The story is just amazing, I just can't stop playing it, can't wait to see how it unfolds in the end.

Midna is so funny with sarcastic comments, and Link is a more mature hero, I just hope he could talk.

Awww, good times.

After playing this game since Christmas, I found that the game has suddenly swept me back to Orcarina of Time/Master Quest. (Which I specialy ordered off of Amazon.com for my Gamecube.)

While a lot of people are comparing this game to Wind Walker, (which is a mere "joke" compared to Twilight Princess) T.P seems to pick up after Majora's Mask, after Link finished his epic quest in Majora and is now a teenager/adult. Hyrule changed... A LOT! But it still packs the punch, and has MUCH more then Orcarina. You are still hit with the same/slightly-altered tune when the sun comes up, and night is no longer silent, but haunting and beautiful. T.P is what I've been looking for ever since I first picked up the control for N-64, Golden Cartridge when O.O.T was brand new.

[Side-Notes]
-Navi/Midna: Midna is pretty cool, and brinks the heroic Link to heel. Her cockiness really brings some shine to the game.

-Updated Epona: Epona is no longer that cutter little red horse we use to know. She is more realistic, and is more horse then cow.

-No Shiek? Well, no. But Zelda certainly got a new look.

Anyhow, if your an old fan of Zelda or new, then you'll absolutly love this game!

Very fun but not best

Twilight Princess was overall a very fun game and all should enjoy it. Though, it was a little short and simple. Most of the puzzles wern't as hard as they should have been, and the dunguens were way too short. But, I would still highly recommend this game to anyone, because it had great graphics, an amazing storyline, and was really fun. The only game better than it was the classic N64 Ocarina of Time.

Once again, The Best Shames the Rest!

Believe the hype: when I began watching and playing the Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess on my Game Cube, I couldn't believe that this was a Game Cube game. By and far, nothing compares to it in graphics, but more importantly like in every Nintendo game it's the quality aspects of the game that make it shine.

Not much as changed in terms of storyline as the ever-forward Legend of Zelda continues to go forward. Once again Link eventually finds that in order to save the land of Hyrule, he must save Zelda, and he must do so by conquering the most elaborate of puzzles and tough, broad enemies. Many enemies are from games old; others are totally new. The weapons Link can also inherit as the game goes on have their moments, such as the Ball and Chain. An old favorite, the oil lantern, makes a return and becomes an essential tool, not just there for eye candy.

The other difference to game play is the transformation into Wolf form. At first you have no control over when you transform, but later in the game you can transform at will to achieve goals and gain advantages in certain situations. You can 'memorize' scents, dig for hears and rupees and even underground enemies, and with your enhanced senses see things in NightVision-like visuals that you can't see with your normal eyes, such as missing statues and poes.

Visual the game is what the Wind Waker was supposed to be before Nintendo abandoned it. Graphically, even for a Game Cube game, this game impresses with detail and each character with their own facial movements as well as unique body types. Though there really isn't any voice acting in this, the artists and programmers once again convey great silent movie emotion from the characters during cut scenes: there are more scenes in this that rival the famous cut scene from the N64 Ocarina of Time when Link leaves his village for pure emotion. A lot of the controller layout is the same from the N64 on through to this game, but with the change of putting the Items control on the D-Pad with the Map, separating it from the Start/Pause button. A few times I hit the Start button to change things, which you can't and it gets annoying, but that's me not adapting to the layout.

To date I have been playing it everyday and I'm not bored with it. Every time a Zelda game comes out it always rates high in quality and this does not disappoint. A great game. A Must Have!

This is the best game ever made for Gamecube. This is alot better than all the other Zelda games which are all good but this one is awesome. Be sure and get the guide book that comes with it or you will be stuck on some parts of the game.

return to a quirkier, bigger Hyrule

I'm only about 2/3 through the game so far, but fully addicted. It was worth the wait.

A total change from the 2D graphics of Windwaker and a return to the "Hyrule" of Ocarina of Time (with different mythology), but with even more inside humor even than Windwaker. I laughed out loud the first time the postman arrived, not to mention the grand opening of Malo Mart Castle Town. A moonwalking shop attendant..... Too funny.

The first half of the game is pretty linear -- kind of annoyingly so. You can't really follow a side quest or take a break from the main narrative if you get stuck. Fortunately, the foes aren't that bad, at least not if you've faithfully played every Zelda game so far.

Once you've cleared the first two dungeons things start to open up more. By the time you get to the second half of the quest, there are plenty of side quests to pursue. I'm not sure where the fish log is heading, but the new fishing style (two ways to fish!) is a lot more fun than even Ocarina of Time. It's almost like the puzzles in the oasis in Windwaker -- a game within the game. The sword skills are really different -- building on the new ones in Windwaker to a whole category of secret techniques. Figuring out how to get those was probably the most frustrating secret so far. It's easier to play an ocarina than to howl like a wolf.

I agree that Midna is far less annoying than any of the other helpers. At first I was wondering if she was the Twilight version of Zelda? Thankfully she nevers harps on and on about clouds on Death Mountin. It's easy to avoid her interruptions, and she actually gives useful advice when battling foes (it sometimes takes asking her a series of questions to do it -- once you've died once).

The graphics are really beautiful at times, although the fixed points of view in some locales (Castle Town in particular) get frustrating.

The wolf transformation is pretty cool too -- and I like that you can skip through the cut scenes you've seen a million times.

Best Game Nintendo Has Ever Made!

I can honestly say without exaggeration that this is the best Legend of Zelda ever made. This game has amazing graphics, good music, easy gameplay, good challanges and an amazing story. If it was possible to give this game over 5 stars, I would. I think that Midna is a great addition to the Zelda characters. She's acctually my favorite. This was a great game to finish off the gamecube series. It will probubly be a long time before a game as good as this comes out.
