Zelda Twilight Princess Lives Up to the Hype

Incredible gameplay with a huge interactive environment. There are plenty of new items, characters, and story elements with still enough to connect with prior episodes in the series. While the worlds of Hyrule and the Twilight Kingdom are expansive, you do not have to spend most of the game getting from one place to the other as in Wind Waker. This game is highly recommended from somone who has played every game in the series since it began!

The Newest Zelda

Once again, Shigeru Miyamoto blows the gaming world open with one of Nintendo's most cherished franchises. Twilight Princess, the newest installment of The Legend of Zelda series, is fun, engrossing, and a must have games on the Gamecube.

Having only played the Gamecube version, I can only make comments on this version. Despite the lack of the Wii's controls, the GC version is still a great game. As always, the game starts off with Link, this time as a young ranch hand in the southern town of Ordon. Link's life is going just fine until he is asked to take Ordon's annual tribute to the royal family. During his preparations for the trip, Ordon is covered by a bizzare entity called the Twilight, an alternate dimension to the light-filled Hyrule. As you can imagine, Hyrule is plunged into darkness, where the inhabitants are turned into mere specters as shadow beast terrorize the area. Link is dragged into the twilight himself, but instead of turning into a spirit, the Triforce of Courage turns him into a wolf. He is soon joined by Midna, a Twili and inhabitant of the Twilight, who offers Link a chance to get rid of the Twilight in exchange for helping her get rid of Zant, the King of Twilight, who is responsible for invading Hyrule.

In terms of game play, the game is still primarily focused on puzzles and thinking instead of hacking and slashing, and TP is astoundingly fun with this, especially after you gain the ability to change back in forth from wolf to human. Wolf Link has a superior sense of smell, can dig holes to look for treasure, can attack enemies, talk to animals, and instead of having a musical instrument, wolf Link howls. Human Link has his entire repertoire of weapons, including the bow, bombs, the Hookshot, ect. The concept of switching back and forth is used brilliantly in the later dungeons, where you may need the wolf's senses to track someone through the temple and then switch back to solve a puzzle only human Link can do. Other game play aspects I adored was that you get Epona right off the bat instead of half-way through the game, which great considering the massive Hyrule field, and the Zora Armor, which allows Link to swim effortlessly (instead of the Iron Boots/Zora tunic combo from OoT's Water Temple).

Alas, I do have a few problems with the story. TP's biggest problem is not internal but external, namely, living up to legend of Ocarina of Time. Without revealing too much, let's just say that I had flashbacks playing the first half of the game, which was to gain three powerful artifacts from the Forest, Fire, and Water Temples. And while I loved the departure from the standard Zelda-Link-Ganondorf triangle, I still had the nagging feeling in the back of my mind that I had played some of the dungeons before. Also keeping with tradition, music is a part of the game, and Wolf Link howls many a familiar tune in order to open paths in the Sacred Grove and Hyrule Castle, and also to summon perhaps the game's coolest new feature, a sword master who will teach Link six new sword moves, which are all streamlessly integrated with the fighting system and are incredibly satisfying to execute.

In terms of graphics, the series has never looked better and is perhaps one of the greatest looking games on the Cube. Everything is beautiful, although they don't compare to the graphics put out by the PS2 on such games as God of War and Final Fantasy 12. However, it's still great to see the better, realistic graphics after Ocarina's dated graphics and Wind Waker's cel-shaded.

Overall, TP is the Gamecube's last hurrah, which is does as brilliantly and beautifully as only a Zelda game can. There's very little I can find wrong with the game, and most importantly, I had a lot of fun playing it. I'd recommend it to any Zelda fan, or anyone just looking for a good game.

Excellent Work

The developers took a lot of time and resources to make this game. It's excellent work. Even so, a lot of the material is borrowed from OoT other iterations. It takes away from the originality. I think the forest should be much more expanded and explorable. It seems very isolated to me, and very predictable where you CAN go. Also, the Kokiri didn't make any kind of cameo appearance from OoT. I was hoping to see a little of that.

Hero of Twilight!

Zelda fans rejoice! The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess delivers on everything, and I mean everything, that you've come to expect in a Zelda game, as well as everything you ever wanted there to be. From astonishing visual effects (Go have a look at Lake Hylia from southwest of the castle) to the amazing music of Koji Kondo, you'll be treated to a story as cinematic and entertaining as a movie. If you enjoy adventures, action, story, or just some great fun, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess delivers on all accounts!

I really enjoyed this game. The only downside is that the dungeons take up a lot of time, so depending on how much time you're willing to spend on it in one sitting, it could get a little tiresome. But all in all, it is great fun.

My son was really excited about this product however he noticed it was written for the Wii and he had to apply the GameCube controls to the book. I Thought it was a Game Cube Guide because it said GC Strategy Guide online but he still loved it .... beautiful embossed book!! Great

Awesome

I just bought this game about a week ago. And I just have to say that it is without a doubt the coolest game I have ever played. The graphics are awesome, the storyline is great, being the wolf is one of the coolest things I've ever done in a game, and it's Zelda. What else is there to say? Link is the coolest video game character ever, hands down. Sure the game is annoying as all get out sometimes, but it's a Zelda game. You're supposed to run around for hours beating your head against the wall because you can't find how to do something. Then you find it, in a very obvious place, and you have to keep playing. Twilight Princess isn't the best game I've ever played, but it certainly is the coolest.

Amazing for each second!

I loved this game. Despite overreactive critics, this game was well worth the wait. It was simply and utterly amazing! The beginning was fast paced and well-written, the middle was challenging, with puzzles that had you pulling out your hair or running to a walkthrough, and the end was surprising and beautiful. Love! Anyway, I highly suggest you buying it. This videogame is not a hitman videogame were the entire thing is shooting people. This videogame makes you THINK. Not for the faint of heart nor for idiots. Anyone else: this game is perfect for you.

Best Zelda adventure yet!

This for me is the best Zelda adventure yet. I've played all the major Zeldas that came out on the gameconsoles (not the portable ones) and I have to say this is the best most interesting one with a great story and a great play
