              Worth every penny.

              Being one who has lived through all the zelda games to the current date, I can without doubt call this game a masterpiece. I bought this game on Friday, was finished on Sunday evening. I didn't leave the freaking chair, it took me a whole 37 hours to play it through. It is by far the most adrenaline-filled zelda game that has been launched, where the Wii remote takes you further into the game, living every slash, feeling every blow.

              Twilight Princess is the longest game in the series, with some awesome new features, including transformation, sword skills, point-n-shoot and the best part, the combination of the remote and nunchuck. The graphics are breathtaking, whereas the engine doesn't overcharge the console, though its not as good as the xbox or the new playstation. But what the heck, its 250$ for everything, its worth it. The ingenious part of it is that Nintendo pushes the detail on graphics where they are most needed.

              To the hyped zelda fanatics who has not played this game yet. The game itself is not that revolutionary compared to lengend of zelda, a link to the past or ocarina of time. But still its worth every penny, every second.

              This is the BEST game i have played since ocarina time. Thats why i have given it a ten.

              Classic 3d Zelda doesn't get better than this

              Twilight Princess is a traditional Zelda game through and through, but it takes you on a journey of the most unique and memorable places and dungeons in the entire franchise. The items range from your classic bow's and boomerangs to full on Beyblade skateboards and wrecking balls. The game is full of so many unique ideas and themes while still keeping it's dark but lighthearted tone consistent.

              The first half of the game is a bit slow but the second half pops of harder than any other Zelda game with some of the best dungeons and bosses in the series, the side quests and mini games are fun and overall there is just so much to do and explore. Characters are important and memorable, and the story is pretty good too.

              It's a faulty masterpiece, but a masterpiece nonetheless.

              Legendary

              I must confess that I am not a Zelda expert, this was the first 3D Zelda game I've ever played (I have played a few GBS Zelda titles though so it completely new to me) but it was pure brilliance.

              It plays so well with the Wii's controls and the story is so deep and it is so satisfying to figure out the next step. It will also lull you into a false sense of security, you'll think it's a peaceful moment when suddenly, something thrilling and unexpected happens and the plot thickens.

              It looks great, the story keeps you playing and it makes the Nintendo Wii a must have just so you can play this game. Well done Nintendo!

              100% awesome!

              I have been waiting for this game since winter 2004. When I saw the first trailer for it I went crazy and had to get it as soon as it came out. Didn't come out till fall 2006 now on the Wii instead of the Gamecube. The game is awesome and I would say it is the number one Zelda game. I think the only thing that disappointed me was the fact there was no connection to the Wind Waker. There was a huge connection to Wind Waker from Ocarina of Time. Other than that it is the best game ever invented. The game just like most Zelda games starts as Link living in a small village. When the world is thrown into twilight a mysterious he is turned into a wolf. A mysterious person/creature named Midna come and rescues him from a prisons he had been thrown into. The real journey starts there. From wolf to link the game is awesome all the way through. Buy it! If you don't have a Wii get it for the Gamecube. I would say its the best game of 2006.

              Ocarina Of Time DeThroned

              Until 2006 Ocarina was the only Zelda game to really be reckoned with, in the grand scheme of gaming. Thats all changed with Twilight Princess.

              Link is back (at full height unlike certain games i shan't mention, *cough* wind waker*) and looking better than ever. Hyrule is captured in breathtaking graphics, as you play you'll end up in familiar locations from OOT looking much better than you remembered.

              Swordplay is much improved from Wind Waker, finally, its taken a while...but Link has big swords to play with again !!! Much to my tastes, fighting takes more skill than it did in Wind Waker; remember certain moves in WW which you could perform by simply pressing A when the screen flashed ? Yeah ? Well those moves are now secret, unlocked by hard work and take more than just a flashing button to pull off.

              Dungeons are inventive and will have you scratching your head in puzzlement, though fairly linear in design (which some may not like) they aren't a walk a park but also don't require a masters degree to fathom. Certain enemies you encounter will have you going "OOOOH i remember these guys" as old bad guys from OOT make appearances.

              You may be thinking hmmmm is this just Ocarina of Time 2? NO its not. TP comes into its own from the start, this has a much different feel to previous Zeldas, much darker and deeper than ever before. An excellent storyline which does intertwine with OOT but definitely not a sequel.

              An excellent game. Best I've played in a long time.

              PS i own the NGC version so i cant really make comments on control aspects as the majority of buyers for this game will probably be Wii

                Was initially meant for the Gamecube, but then developed as the launch game for the new Wii console, to make use of its new motion controls. To not disappoint GameCube users, separate versions for both consoles were developed in parallel, even though that meant the game would miss its intended 2005 release and be delayed another year. The GameCube version was the last first party game that Nintendo produced for the console.

              • Alternate versions
                In the original Wii version of Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. A cannon glitch can occur if the player goes in the Sanctuary in Kakariko when a man named Shad is present. If the player saves their game and then opens the file, the player will be trapped in the room unable to continue their game as the game thinks Shad is in the room. This glitch was later fixed in the Nintendo selects version.
