A long and enduring swan song for the Gamecube

I bought this game one year ago. I usually finish games within a few weeks, so this game just sat in my gamecube wasting away. This game is long, sometimes frustrating, but very, very rewarding. Completing the game takes about 60 hours, and that is with some help from a gamefaq's walkthrough.

The first thing that strikes you is the atmosphere and graphics. Even for a last generation game, it is impressive. This and Resident Evil 4 really showed that the Gamecube was quit the superb little graphical powerhouse. The lighting, the water, all show new breakthroughs previously unseen in other games at that time. Each realm in the Zelda countryside all have an atmosphere that is both real and fitting.

The game has an open feel encompassing all of the countryside. You get snow, castles, villages, canyons, underwater residences, lakes, etc. The variation and the look is amazing. The amount of things to explore, like all Zelda games, is massive. There are plenty of things to do and plenty of places to explore.

This brings the most important thing - gameplay. Each dungeon is unique in its presentation and gameplay. Many of them are quite ingenious. For example, to pass a certain level, you need to hit a switch with an arrow, which would then turn on an electric current that turns a metallic cave's roof into a giant magnet, which you can climb when you put on magnetic boots. These are the types of "puzzles" that need to be solved. This game rewards thought, not just reflexes.

There are some problems though. I hate bosses in all games, because if you die in the middle, you have to restart it. Also, bosses tend to have one gimmick which you must find out about, and you will just die and die until you figure out the gimmick. Zelda's bosses fit this description. Fortunately, they are not difficult. Also, many levels require you to look at a certain place, or hook into some place that you would have never thought of. For example, in the last level, you have to shoot a painting, which looks like it's just part of the background. If there weren't any walkthroughs on the Internet, I would still be stuck there.

Finally, this is game is long. Way too long. For some people, that is a good thing. For me, not so much. I stopped caring about the story after a while. Not because it's wasn't compelling, but just I wanted to get this game over with.

All in all, a great adventure game that lives up to the Zelda name.

Pros:
Great graphics for a last gen game
Beautiful atmosphere
Nice looking cutscenes
Very balanced
Unique, inventive, and well thought out dungeons

Cons:
Needs a walkthrough at a few points
Could have been shorter
Time for Zelda to have voice acting

Difficulty: Medium

Time to Complete: 60 hours

Frustration level: Medium

Outstanding for either cube or Wii (I use both)

Simple one of the best games and as Sean Rhodes said it is a bit of getting use to the variations of using the Wii or going back to the cube but simply just a game to get lost in for hours as many I know do and just another great addition to the Zelda world!

I feel games The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess should have more free roaming and allow you to have other things to do even after you have beat the final boss.

This game is definately what you would expect out of a zelda game. The graphics are great and the gameplay is fun. If you havent played it and youre looking for a good game to get into, you just cant go wrong with zelda. This is a game you would want to buy, its a zelda game, you cant really rent it, it must be owned.

It kinda has the ocarina of time feel to it. Maybe its the combination of music, sound effects, and graphics that make you feel like youre playing an actual continuation of the N64 series. Wind Waker was a great game in itself but didnt have that Zelda feel that you saw in the N64 Zelda games. Wind Waker was more of a side note to the series but this game really picks up the slack. I give it a five out of five. Its a great game!

My grandchildren seem to be having a blast playing the Zelda game. It is nice that it accommodates three players, which is the number of grandchildren I have.
Thanks!

The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess: this game alone blew me away with its grafix i mean the water looked like you could dive in yourself!! The lava, it was like you could actually fell the heat!!! all my friends have a nintendo wii and so do i but before i got a wii and i herd that nintendo released Twilight Princess on the gamecube and i was like oh my gosh i have to get this game so on the day it came out i called every game store and no one had it. Finally i called the Game Trader in opry mills mall and they said they had 3 copys left four the gamecube so we told them to hold one four us and we went out there and got it!!! I finally beat the game on January 7,2008 and at the end i actually cried because it was such a great game and i was so happy i beat it!!! so over ALL the games i played (and thats ALOT trust me) This OVER ALL WAS THE BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED!!!!!!!!!!!! I personally thank Twilight Princess is the BEST GAME EVER MADE! AND I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE NEXT LEGEND OF ZELDA GAME COMES OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=)

Serving up to or over 70+ hours of gameplay, LOZ:TP is well worth its price. It bares more simularities to Ocarina of Time than any other Zelda titles, but Twilight Princess is much better than Ocarina of Time (in my opinion).

Amazing

Fantastic game... my 11 year old soon loved it, the history of Zelda is fantastic. More than the game graphics or action what is really great is the history and details of the environment where tha action happens.
