Nintendo...you are the king., 19 January 2007
10/10
Author: Lukas Joley from a place

... This game is...not very, very good. It's not breathtaking. It's...better than that. It's simply...best.

The 21th of February 1986 a game called The Legend of Zelda was release for NES. It was honored as the best game ever by many. Twelve years later, November 23 1998, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was released for Nintendo 64, and it too was called the best game ever. And the following years it's sequels was released, but none of them would receive the same title, even if they were all great. The last one, called the Wind Waker, was released four years ago. Then, Nintendo started developing a new game in the series, that was supposed to resemble Ocarina of Time more than it's prequels. The game was first introduced at E3 2004, and the sub-title Twilight princess was revealed just before E3 2005. The game had enormous expectations on it. Nintendo did not make it easier for themselves through calling it the best Zelda to date. November 19, about one year delayed, the game was released for Wii. After four years in development, promises that even the greatest would have trouble keeping, the game was released.

It was not as god as I expected it to be. It was better.

There is not a single point where the game is not at an outstanding level. The controls are just as good as they can be expected, the length is amazing, the music is a true piece of art, the graphics (even through designed for the GameCube) are beautiful. I would like to tell you more about it, and tell you in detail about every feature in the whole game, but...why should I tell you, when you can experience it yourself? Why should I spoil the greatest adventure of all? The best way to experience all this is to play it yourself. And i do recommend that you do just that. The game is better for the Wii, so go buy one, for your own sake, and get the game. You will not be disappointed. Nintendo has created a true masterpiece.

This game rocks., 4 January 2007
10/10
Author: fishingphantom from Chattanooga, TN

There's a guy who made a comment about this game boasting that it wasn't very interactive upon character-to-character meetings, the wii-mote made fighting difficult, and the camera angles were bad. He's overly-opinionated. I'm a huge Zelda fan, and when this game was released, I was expecting nothing less than perfect, especially considering all the hype, and countless delays that it underwent. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. After finishing it last night, I can still attest to the fact that this game rocks. The wii-mote control is near-flawless, the camera was spectacular, the learning curve for the control did not take long at all, the storyline was VERY deep, the final battle was epic, and the games visuals are top-notch, especially considering it was built for Gamecube hardware. I'd say that if there were a single flaw in this game, it would be the lack of voice-work....that would have been nice, but hell...I can read. This game is amazing...greatest game I've ever played. If you don't own it, do so immediately.

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!

Simply Breathtaking !!!, 13 December 2006
10/10
Author: (ohwail) from United States

This is by far the best Zelda game I have ever played, besides Ocarina of Time. Once again you wield the master sword with the legendary hero Link in a quest to save the land of Hyrule from evil forces. I don't want to spoil anything here concerning the story, so I will not get into it, but if you have played previous Zelda games then it flows in somewhat a similar fashion. The stunning graphics as well as the music is very appealing. The game play is awesome, I would assume this to be even better if you are playing the Wii version. This was one of main reasons I decided to buy a gamecube. I have been a long time fan of the Zelda series since a Link to the Past been released on the SNES back in the early 90's, so I am able to appreciate the growth of this series throughout the years. This is a must for any gamer out there, if you don't take my word for it, at least rent it and try it out.

Link's adventures don't get much better than this. The greatest legend of Hyrule has arrived., 11 December 2006
10/10
Author: rasengan_naru

Four long years have passed since we were given the last console Zelda title, 2003's The Wind Waker. It has been a long, arduous wait, a roller-coaster ride of emotions. During that time, Twilight Princess has had hype unlike any game prior, a game that had to succeed on numerous levels in order to live up to the steep expectations laid out before it. Not only was it being billed as the greatest Zelda ever -- serious shoes to fill, no doubt -- but also had to show that the Wii's new controller was suited toward the "hardcore" games; against all odds, between all the criticisms and controversy between their being two versions, Twilight Princess amazingly follows through on all of its promises. Nintendo has done what one might consider the unthinkable -- achieved perfection.

100% awesome!, 26 December 2006
9/10
Author: axman_88 from United States

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.

Worth every penny., 14 December 2006
10/10
Author: Jakob Lothe from Norway

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.

Ocarina Of Time DeThroned, 9 January 2007
10/10
Author: jazzfunk from United Kingdom

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

The Greatest Zelda Adventure Yet!, 2 January 2008
10/10
Author: griffolyon12 from United States

I am a huge fan of the Zelda franchise, and I was very excited when I heard about this game on the Wii; I must say that the game delivered a grander adventure than I ever dreamed it could of. The story of Twilight Princess (I won't spoil any of it for those who haven't played it) is simply breathtaking, it has heart and emotion; the script for the game was marvelous, the whole story was just very cinematic and magical. A great addition to the story is being able to play as Link when he transforms into a wolf, and that is all I'll say about it, it's really fun. The biggest concern from most gamers were the controls which after playing the game are just perfectly suited for the Zelda franchise, swinging the wiimote as a sword never gets old. One of the greatest things about the game is the wide array of side quests. Zelda has always been known for its many side quests and this one delivers, you will be playing this game long after you've finished it to complete them all. Finally the graphics are just superb and need to be seen in action to believe.

This is a Zelda adventure that appeals to both old fans and new, it moves the franchise forward into shining new directions without alienating the old fans. I have played many of the big games on the Wii like Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 and I must say that I still enjoyed this game the most thus far. This is the best game on the Wii.

A perfect 10/10!

An instant classic, 10 February 2007

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Wow. I got this game for Christmas for my Wii and was SO excited about play it. So I plopped the disk into the drive and as soon as I turned it on, I knew this game would be awesome. Sword fighting makes you feel like you are Link, fighting a desert skull or demonstrating a move to kids. The Wii-mote in my opinion is the best control in the series of control sticks for the Nintendo. The graphics are phenomenal. Although it was originally a GameCube game, it sure doesn't look like it. Also, this game is LONG. There are nine temples, and the temples are so well put together and wonderfully designed that you would feel that you were actually in the temple. Also, familiar sights appear: the forest temple, Kakariko Village, etc. This game is the best Zelda game every created, and, as painful as this is, is even a better adventure than the great Ocarina of Time.
