Anyone who is a fan of Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda video game series will want to try her hand at playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. This would be the 13th Legend of Zelda installment.

Anyone who is a fan of Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda video game series will want to try her hand at playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. This would be the 13th Legend of Zelda installment.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is categorized as an action-adventure video game available on Wii game play version. Here the player can re-assume the character of the hero Link who has surprising powers in this version, like being able to turn into a wolf and being able to kill characters as a wolf. The voice acting is minimal. Princess Zelda also makes an appearance in this video game. One common element throughout all the Legend of Zelda games is that they all emphasize the role of music to highlight the state of play. That is true even with this one, which is why Nintendo has come out with a separate Official Soundtrack of the video game series as well.

Review Summary

Twilight Princess is like a surprise. The game goes more than your expectations and amazes you even more. The more you go into the game, it becomes even more surprising, such as some completely original items, as well as dungeon design that you haven’t seen before. Legend of Zelda titles are about the Princess of Hyrule, Zelda who is in trouble from some magical creature and a young boy, Link who will be her savior. He will have to go around dungeons, solving puzzles, collecting various items and abiliti…

Twilight Princess is like a surprise. The game goes more than your expectations and amazes you even more. The more you go into the game, it becomes even more surprising, such as some completely original items, as well as dungeon design that you haven’t seen before. Legend of Zelda titles are about the Princess of Hyrule, Zelda who is in trouble from some magical creature and a young boy, Link who will be her savior. He will have to go around dungeons, solving puzzles, collecting various items and abilities, mastering these abilities, and overcome all evil on his way with a sword and shield. In Twilight Princess, you become Link, and at times you will also be transformed into a wolf, and explore the Twilight to wake up the sacred light spirits that have been caught by the same evil powers as Zelda. Overall, the game provides a perfect mixture of familiar and brand new elements. Twilight Princess is mostly a dark and serious game, though not as threatening as the promos may imply. There are cheerful sequences and fanciful characters; the game also has a sense of humor. The backdrop is not limited to greens, browns, and epic battle music. The visuals are colorful but keep the suspense alive. All of the skills that you learn in this game, as there is an array of new features make the Zelda game different and unique. Most importantly these features do not repeat themselves.

    When you boil the game down, it's the crown jewel of Zeldas to date. The controls, attention to detail, and replay value will blow you away. Once you get the chance, buy this game, play this game, replay this game, marry this game. It is by far one of the best in the history of games. Read more

    When it launched, Twilight Princess had a lot on its shoulders. Being the latest entry in the long running, critically acclaimed Zelda series it had the burden of living up to its name, and as Nintendo’s launch title for the Wii console alongside Wii Sports it had to carry the console for its first Christmas. I can attest that Twilight Princess has broad enough shoulders; it lives up to its heritage and then some and is still one of the best reasons to own a Wii. Read more

    Conclusion Twilight Princess absolutely earns the right to possess the Zelda trademark, and even though it’s not as originative as we hoped for this still doesn’t prevent it from offering a compelling adventure. Sure some of the motion functions can feel arbitrary from time to time and some of the levels are a little too nostalgic for our taste, it’s impossible to deny the impact this game will have for the Wii. Whether you’ve been a Zelda fanatic for the last... Read more

    the biggest and prettiest Zelda to date, it just lacks that special magic which made Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, and Majora's Mask such classics. But all of these are great games, so don't miss out on this one just because it's not as good as one of the best video games ever made. Read more

    Pros: -Long game, took me over 40 hours to beat -Good story line Cons: -Graphics just dont look too good -The temples just seemed very boring this time around. -wii controls just seemed tagged on. just waggle it like a crazy person to swing your sword. nothing really revolutionary -Just nothing new for a zelda game. you can turn into a wolf but i found those segments to be just not fun. A complete dissapointment from the greatness that Windwaker was. Read more

    Zelda was my favorite game on the 8-bit and I thought the N64 version was great. I have not played Zelda in years, but when I heard about this game I bought it so I could play on my friend's Wii. I am glad I bought it and this 30-year old man enjoys reminiscing about a game he first owned when was about 8 or 9. The graphics are excellent the game secrets are abundant and often challenging character ability and manipulation are excellent as well. This is by the best... Read more

    An absolutely awe-insipring game has must be played by all Wii owners to show how a game should be made. Gorgeous graphics, moving (if unoriginal) story and controls perfected by the addition of the Wiimote make up one of the best games ever produced. A vast game that encompasses everything that you've grown to love about the Zelda franchise and so much more. The Wiimote controls add so much to the game and I cannot imagine going back to the analog stick controls for... Read more

    This is a freakin masterpiece, I had to write a review on this game after reading some of the critiscism on here.. I would say if your'e into your RPG's and own a wii than this is goldust. The best zelda so far, on par with both ocarina and the wind waker but better and more realistic; which I found more enjoyable. Wii controls work well and doesn't distract from gameplay but adds to it. Has more of a mature theme which is cool, but also has some funny elements in it as... Read more

    Here it is .The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess. Gamers everywhere have been waiting forever for this game. The question is : is it worth it? The answer, TOTALY. If you liked Ocarnia of Time, you'l love this one. Anyway, you start off as a farmboy living in the villige of Ordon. Like the past games in the series, the first couple hours of the game are spent doing chores until someone gets captured, and of course, you have to save them. The gameplay is classic... Read more
