Now I have been playing zelda since the first game. These are the only games I play as well. my son does get a little mad here and then when I take his Gamecube and such items of his. But now he got used to the fact that I'm a 28 year old Zelda collector. My son has never played a zelda game except Wind Waker. I do not allow him to play rated T or M games. and this is the only one to find.
If your not a zelda fan, Dont worry, you'll this game, get stuck on levels, but hey if you dont like it, sell it.
Now the good part, this game has al ot of twists. you will get disappointed once and a while. but this is one of the best games since Ocarina of Time.
Thank You For Reading and have a nice Christmas

A huge disappointment

I didn't enjoy this game very much at all. It's not a bad game, by any means, but it's not the perfect 10 everyone else seems to think. The original Zelda for the NES is much more fun. In Twilight Princess, you spend gobs of time just wandering back and forth over the same areas. The temples/dungeons and bosses are mostly very easy, as is most of the combat. Midna and Wolf Link are pretty cool additions, but constantly digging for rupees as Wolf Link was both aggravating and silly. I liked Zelda better when it was all about the puzzles and combat, before it went all 3D and tried adding story to the mix.

Very Fun but Very Hard

This game is really fun overall but it has to be the hardest Zelda game every made! The story line is pretty stupid and confusing and the things you have to figure out in order to move on are just ridiculous. I can't count how many times I've had to go online for help.

It is definitely worth having but be prepared for a difficult and frustrating experience. It's just hard to figure out what you have to do next. It shouldn't be easy but it shouldn't be this hard either, I'm 23 for cryin' out loud and I can't figure alot out on my own.

It's hard to decipher what you have to do to beat the bosses and mini bosses. There's always a weak spot and a pattern to find but it's so tough to figure out what they are. What sucks is when you finally figure out what to do, you think "it should've been so easy, why didn't I think of that?"

The next ocarina of time

Twilight Princess is everything you expect from a Zelda game. The game is very lengthy even without sidequests. The puzzles are clever and fun to figure out. And the main world is humongous. If you like any zelda game this is definately worth buying

Another great Zelda game

At first I thought this game was going to be an extension of Orcana of Time but once I got to playing this game, I found it to be more intresting than the previous game for N64. This game play was improved in all the areas that it lacked on the previous Zelda games as far as shooting bow and arrow was to be concerned with the capabilities of auto lock that you couldn't get on Orcana of Time. Over all this game is fun and you do get side tracked on the side quests easly so you can make you guy more powerful and rich to make your life easier and knowing how long it takes to beat it was defenitly worth my money.

Great Game

Great game. Most anticipated thing my son (& husband) got for Xmas. He played it non-stop until he completed it. My son has always been a Zelda fan; this game did not disappoint.

A Legendary Game: Legend of Zelda = Jameson Thottam =

This game is amazing.

-=Graphics=- = Jameson Thottam =
This is the by far weakest part of the game. One can easily see it is also being released on gamecube.
Some of the character textures are more detailed in the Wii version, but mostly you're looking at a GameCube game here.
OTOH, the graphics are atmospheric, and stylish.
*5/10*

-=Sound=- = Jameson Thottam =
Quite good. Much of the music is very nice, the songs are a bit weird (since you howl most of them, but not spoiling more).
A very fun thing though is that some sounds actually come from the speaker in the WiiRemote, creating the illusion of for example the arrow actually travelling into the distance, soundwise.
*9/10*

-=Gameplay=- = Jameson Thottam =
I can't find words for it. Sorry, really can't.
It's just... amazing. Even after all those Zeldas. New items, new types of bosses, new ideas, and Zelda, Zelda, Zelda.

And Midna - while I don't wanna spoil anything, this cute little character alone would make me love the game. She's awesome.

*10.5/10* (yes!) = Jameson Thottam =

Overall: 10/10 = Jameson Thottam =
This may not be the average, but trust me, the moment you play you couldn't care less for the graphics anymore. The Story, the Atmosphere, the Gameplay... it'll keep you glued to the WiiMote - a long time.

Zelda just got a little darker

After a very very very long wait, one of the most long anticipated video games of all time was finally released on December(dont remember the date)for the Nintendo Gamecube and that my friends is The Legend Of Zelda Twilight Princess. I'm not going to get into the plot or such and such because half of these reviews will tell it way better then me. So let me to the simple stuff and what nots to give a little closure on how I felt about this awesome yet very delayed game....put simply..Twilight Princess is an awesome game that shows that Nintendo hasn't got close to being stale on this amazing and most LEGENDARY series of all time. The game boosts what is hands down one of the most beautifully made game ever, seriously if you thought that little purple cube had no life in it anymore think again cause TP boosts some of the best graphics scene on the gamecube since..RE4? The Art style they took was a big leep for Nintendo and has a very more darker artsy look then the last Zelda game(Wind Waker) which was one of the best looking games on the cube as well but I prefer this darker, more realistic looking zelda game then the other. From Zoras Domain(Man the first time I was there in the Twilight World, My jaws dropped to the floor)to Sky Temple the game is chuckfull of atmospheric details richly desighned to show that Zelda Has changed its look and feel......but still play EXACTLY the same as the others which sadly gets to my negative points

Anyone scene God Of War 2?...hate to say this and im no fanboy, no siree but when you see that games trailer you say "Man they really wanted to top the first one" by adding so many new things and mechanics/battles/scenery/ect...This is something I wish Twilight Princess did. Don't get me wrong I love the game, its visuals, scenery, dark blah whatever you wanna call it...but it plays just like the other zelda games and I've just about had it...I told this to a friend the other day but I was hoping for something along the lines of like "Link ontop of dragons trying to slay other mini dragons flying and ect" Yeah I know that sounds a bit much but this game was basically Ocarina of Time with a darker, more realistic look to it. I liked the fact that you can change to a wolf and stuff but as you progress through the game its basically the same pattern(Do some plot quests..Twilight Realm as Wolf to do some little fetch quest...Temple..rince and repeat.) I was really sucked into the game but by the time i was on the 6th temple it started to ware off. Also I don't like the jaggie Lines that the games has(it shows up from time to time..usually in an area with all the same colors and ect on the back round)which is what Wind Waker suffered as well..but again that still doesnt change the 10/10 graphics the game has..it just interferes at times. Also did I mention this has some pretty bad music. Nintendo should have just kept the old school zelda tunes weve known and loved(they do but not alot of it, not to mention they changed the sound about).

Alright lets get back to good stuff

If you want the same good ol' action adventure fun you had with Ocarina of time then be ready cause this game tops Ocarina with some of its awesome thoughtful Puzzles and Temples. This Particular Zelda Game also features some really memorable Temples like the Ice Temple, Sand Temple ect. One thing to be glad is that the water temple isn't made to frustrate you and put you to full out angry mode like Ocarinas Water Temple. Also did I mention this has some really amazing Boss Battles. Sure there on the easy side(so was okami but they still proved to be epicly awesome and fun)but damn does this game feature some really fun and epic bosses that are truly unforgettable(like the Dragons Boss for example or the "Shadow of the Colossus" like Water Temple Boss). But sadly the game does also have some very dull Bosses and one in particular really upsetted me which gets me back to a negative point

HOW THE HELL COULD YOU SCREW THIS PART UP NINTENDO? Ocarina of Time has hands down in my opinion, the Greatest most epic Boss Finale I've ever played or witness. From the battle itself to the damn scenery, its just flat out epic. TP's Finale Boss Battle just felt like 4 dumbed down short and easy boss battles with Ganondorf(I was really upset over the scenery aswell, just didn't have that awesome epic feeling that Ocarina and many other games had)WHAT A HUGE LET DOWN. This was really disappointing Not to mention they used GANON as the first boss Phase, wth???!.

The Good
-One of the looking games on the GC, love the artistic, realistic dark look to it
-Controls are tight and responsive as ever
-Lots of Things to do which will expand your hours of play time
-The Longest Zelda game ever...or..yet..should take a good 30 to beat the main game.
-Some really epic Boss Battles
-Some Temples are really amazing(some sadly not)
-Some of the new things added like Being Wolf, Controlling a one eye Twilight Dragon beast in certain parts of the game are fun as well
-Midna is KEWL

The Bad
-Some Jaggies
-Starts to loose its fun and edge near the 6th temple of the game
-Worse Zelda game in terms of Music(man I really disliked the music in this game..specially the annoying voice to what was acctually a good tune..and im speaking of the Sky Temple..which was one of a few that were good...same with Twilight Temple which was really good too.
-Some Bosses stinked...badly...Specifically the final boss
-I really hated the way this game ended...It had a "TILL NEXT TIME" feeling to it...Heck the games final cutscene is shorter then any cutscene in the dame game!!!..What gives..
-Gets abit repetitive at parts like the Wolf fetch quests in the Twilight World

Overall this is a must get game for any cube owners and Zelda fans(duhhh).
It may not be the best zelda game in the series but damn is it still good and fun, though its a shame Nintendo couldn't have added or make totally new different things(other then the wolf aspects of the game)to make the so much more better(not to mention FIX some things they made in the game). But Thats made up of the Amazing atmosphere that the game presents you with...But what they do add still makes up for half of its flaws...Overall this is one of the best games to come out in late 06 and should be played by everyone who is a fan of games in general

Overall

4.5 out of 5

An Adventure in Twilight

Same old Zelda, same old game play. If it's not broke, don't fix it. The new Zelda game still lacks voice-acting. When (and if) a Zelda game has voice-acting, it'll be accused of having bad voice-acting like many video games today.

Twilight Princess looks way more better than Wind Waker and far more realistic. What a fitting swansong for the GameCube. The new Zelda features new and old characters. In the game, Link goes to save the land of Hyrule with the help of a mysterious being known as Midna. Link is also able to transform into a wolf, where he can do several things that a human (or elf) can't do. That's the thing about Twilight Princess; it calls Link a human...I thought he was meant to be an elf? Oh, well.

The game play is nothing new or different from previous Zelda games, but the graphics are awesome and Twilight Princess is much more action-based. The only complaint I have is that some paths in the game are too linear.

Any Zelda fan would like this game, and a Zelda veteran can master it with ease.
