If you're on the fence, I don't have any idea why. This is the single greatest video game ever created. Get it today.

My son has played this non-stop since Christmas!

This is by far the best Zelda game so far! This is the only thing my son asked to receive for Christmas for months before Christmas. I had pre-ordered this game through a well known department stores website and then 11 days before Christmas I got an email stating that they didn't have enough and I would not be getting my copy.....OH NO!!! NOONE had any of these with less than two weeks until Christmas, but....Amazon pulled through for us! They had some in stock and I received it within two days! We will no longer purchase items from that "other" website!

The game play is almost like being there. It follows closely to what the premise of the other Zelda's are and I would recommend purchasing the game guide if you want to find it all because it does pose a welcoming challenge! For anyone wanting to purchase this game...DO! It's great!

BEST GAME EVER

This game is incredible! All sorts of new features and 50 hours of game time!

Now in Zelda Twilight princess you can be a wolf and a human, bringing all sorts of hidden areas and other things about, wolf has senses and digging abilities for treasure hunters.

The new features include horseback fighting including two boss battles on horseback, all new amazing minigames, new items, including the hawkeye, allowing you to see far things and snipe enemies with your bow. The world is bigger than ever, Hyrule field has several sections and areas, huge desert area, and portals to travel places much faster than usual.

You can still find old things like the master sword, the zoras, etc. But Ganon appears to have been replaced with a new evil, Zant.

No old games have to be played, the story is completely different, and I would say this game triples the fun that I had in Ocarina of Time.

BUY THIS GAME!!!

Well worth the wait

I told myself I was only going to write a review of this game after having completed it, to be as fair in my judgement as possible. 55 game-hours (about 2 1/2 weeks) later here I am, very excited to give you my impression of this marathonically exciting quest.

I've had experience with all previous Zelda games on the older consoles, including the Gameboy versions. I expected this one to have more or less the same winning formula of these past classics with the obvious variations and additions that make everyone come back for more, and I wasn't dissapointed. Most of you will recall that the game was supposed to be released in 2005 for the GameCube, but it was held up due to the imminent release of the Wii (formerly known as the Revolution) and Nintendo's plan to make this game part of it's new console release in November 2006.

This adventure is, without question, the longest and deepest of any Zelda series so far.
The main game plot follows a more dramatic course than in previous games, you could probably tell that there is a darker/gloomy side to it, however, most of the adventure follows a positive, lighter tone with fun side-quests and mini-games.

The Zelda series are not classified as RPGs (role playing games). You don't have to collect and summon magic spells or fight monsters in a turn-based method using different characters. You only control a single character (in his two forms), a hero who ultimately carries the burden of saving the entire town. You will find allies that'll help you in your quest (your horse Epona, Midna, etc.), but ultimately it will be Link who must complete the main tasks.

As a player, you will have the chance to control Link's character, and obtain different items and weaponry that will help him defeat the enemies and also open new pathways to progress further into the adventure and ultimately unfold the plot.

Link's main weapons are the sword and shield, however, the adventure can not be completed simply by hacking and slashing away. Most of the enemies require a certain weapon combination/technique to be defeated. Link will also acquire a number of special sword skills, necessary in later stages for his survival.

One of the most rewarding moments during the adventure is obtaining new special weapons or items. These special weapons/items are either used to defeat the most difficult enemies in battle or to unlock or open up new rooms or areas. These special items are found well hidden within temples and ultimately require fighting a boss, to grab them. Once they are in your possession, you'll most probably use them to defeat a stronger boss later on in the same temple.

The game's strength, however, are the puzzles. To get a special weapon, to find a character, to complete a task or to simply continue further in the adventure, you'll have to figure out quite a few well-thought-out puzzles. A puzzle could be something as simple as eliminating all enemies inside a room or as complex as having to manipulate items in multiple rooms in a temple to finally unlock a secret.

Be prepared to spend many hours trying to complete this adventure, but I assure you that you'll not find a single idle minute. There is always something interesting to do, even when you find yourself stuck. I didn't use a guide at all to complete the adventure, although I could probably recommend people to get one if you are new to Zelda or to any adventure game.

This game is one of the best in the Legend of Zelda series, with beautiful graphics, smooth play mechanics, deep plot, exciting game-play, a fantastic music score and a beautiful ending, all well worth the wait.

like it very much

I have been playing this fame for about a month and can't seem to put it down. I was never a big video game person, but bought a gamecube on a whim along with this game. I remember playing Zelda on old school Nintendo when I was 9 and remember not wanting to put it down and just wanting to know what happens next- Twilight Princess makes me feel this way all over again. For a video game the graphics are amazing and the storyline isn't half bad. The game isn't super easy or super difficult- it's just right. I read other reviews that said "this game is crap- to much like Ocarina of Time." I played that game too but this new one totally out-did the old. If you like the Zelda games, and even if you're not a big video game person, this one is for you.

Zelda's in Trouble ..... AGAIN!

Like the title says, Zelda is in trouble. Not that this is a bad thing. It means that Link is back. The game is pretty much has the same idea as other 3-D Zelda games. You go into a dungeon, solve a bunch of puzzles, obtain all sorts of equipment, and fight a big boss at the end of each dungeon. Although the gameplay is the same the story isn't. You play as Link, a young goat herder who is adored by all of the people in the village. However, he now has to leave the village with his steed Epona to deliver a gift to the royal family of Hyrule. Maybe he'll even meet princess Zelda. On the day you have to leave for Castle Town you are spending the day with two of the village kids, Ilia and Colin, when these creatures called bublins appear on massive hogs and knock you out. They then kidnapp all the children in the village. You awaken to find everyone gone. You run down the trail the bublins ran down to find a mysterious black wall blocking your way out of the village. A giant hand comes out of the wall and pulls you through the wall. On the other side is a strange monster. You scream and turn into a wolf. The creature takes you away. You awaken in a prison where you meet a little creature neamed Midna. She says she will help you if you do something for her in return. So begins another Zelda game.

Now you are probably thinking you will stay a wolf for the whole game right. Nope, you turn back into a human but I won't say how. There are a total of nine dungeons. Each one contains challenging puzzles to solve along with a few enemies to destroy. Once you enter the room with the boss in it don't get scared. The boss may be big but that doesn't mean there isn't an easy way to defeat him that will have you saying "That's it?" Like always you will obtain all sorts of different equipment that will help you on you quest. There are mini games like fishing and other things. The music is great. There are a lot of tunes that you will probably recognize from other Zelda games. The graphics are amazing. You will not be a dissapointed Zelda fan when you play this game.

Much anticipated!

Waited for Nintendo to get off their butts and release this for years... and after the wait I can say both my husband and I are pleased. As avid Zelda fans, this was much better than the last few games they have put out - the graphics are good, and take you back to an older feel with the story line.

Fun for everyone!

A very good addition to the Zelda family

____________I thought it was a very good game. I didn't think it was super unique it got kind of run-on in places, many thing were similar to Ocarina of Time, having said that, however, there were a few new aspects. There are a few new items, plenty new bosses, a new plot, and new characters. It was quite challenging and very fun. Overall I would say it was worth the buy, but if you are looking for another Wind Waker or Ocarina of Time this wasn't it for me.

Best Zelda Game Ever

Until Nintendo creates another Zelda game exclusively for Wii, this is the best Zelda you can get. It's nostalgic, fun, deep, dark, huge, and the story is great. All you expect from this franchise is right there.
Highly recommended.
