    Es una maravilla, historia sombría pero inmersiva.
    Una obra maestra que ha envejecido excelentemente

    A solid Zelda game one of the last good ones before this new gen Zelda crap came out like botw and totk. The story is decent gameplay is a bit clunky and it hasn't aged well but worth playing for sure.

    Jugablemente, se llega a sentir algo tosco cuando montas a caballo y no se llega a sentir disruptivo en comparación con otros juegos de la franquicia. Lo mejor del juego es el diseño de los personajes y la inmersión a la que nos tienen acostumbrados los juegos que llevan el sello de "The Legend of Zelda".

    Die Grafik sieht sehr schön aus. Jedoch im Schattenreich soeht das Spiel schlecht aus. Die Musik und die Atmosphäre des Spiels sind wirklich sehr gut. Die Story ist episch und spannend und die Dungeons sind herausfordernd.

    This game is fun but the GameCube version is a waste of money but the Wii version is cheaper than GameCube graphics are perfect 100% accurate so I love both of these versions both of these versions are perfect and they got the perfect combo of the legend of Zelda series

    I am a 27 year old man that teared up many times throughout this game, Link's journey is dark, hopeless at times but the spirit of The Hero is ever strong here and I enjoyed every second.

Midna was a delight and extremely useful, the way you not only use her for fast travel but traversal is truly incredible work and design. The combat is deep, the optional movesets you get can turn you into an unstoppable force against even the toughest of creatures and warriors. Faron, Lanayru, and Eldin are truly impressive works of art and you can absolutely get lost in this world if you wanted to. Every tool you get small or large has a purpose and are used in a very memorable way when it comes to the dungeon bosses. The dungeons are the best I've seen, every single one of them has the perfect amount of design and detail, none of them feel poorly made or a needless chore to get through. All in all I cannot say enough about this game but PLEASE play it if you have not, I can't believe I waited this long to do so! Twilight Princess is a 10/10 masterpiece!… Expand

    Es un muy buen juego qué te transmite una obscuridad y creo que es el juego más oscuro de la saga mucho más que majora's mask y tiene partes muy buenas como el templo del tiempo.

    The traditional Zelda formula, mixed with a beautiful story and revolutionary art style serves this title well. I could not recommend this title more.

    The most cinematic Zelda game there has ever been. Combat is fun and there is so many items to choose from. The story and journey was a masterclass of design. The dungeons are up there with the very best in the series- Arbiters ground and Snowpeak ruins are certainly up there.

The final boss fight at the end is the best final boss fight I have ever played - essentially a 4 phase boss fight. The open world is also great and vast but can feel somewhat empty at times. Also although this does make the game feel more epic the start of the game can be quite slow and the killing shadow bugs part of the game can also be annoying. Also there is a vast enemy variety to fight against. Overall a masterpiece of a game.… Expand

    What else can I say about this game, this was perfect mix of Ocarina/Majoras combined, nostalgic while exploring and turning dark as the story progresses, the new moves you learn are so well designed and control, and the wolf mechanic was an excellent addition to the series, story was great and emotional at the end, amazing music, just everything about this game for me was a great adventure.

    Another zelda game that is exaggerated with the legendary Ocarina of time effect. Let's move on to the review without talking too much. The mechanics and gameplay are very diverse, yes, but it repeats itself too much. All the items you get in the game cannot go beyond making you do the same things throughout the game. You also use the boss of the dungeon where you bought the item. dungeonAnother zelda game that is exaggerated with the legendary Ocarina of time effect.

All the items you get in the game cannot go beyond making you do the same things throughout the game. You also use the boss of the dungeon where you bought the item. dungeon fights are unbelievably mediocre, completely repetitive and simple, in the open world where you use items, they do not work except for ridiculous collectibles. The fighting mechanics of the game are completely ocarina of time copy, no development. As for the map and section designs, the game makes you use the teleport in a limited way until the end of the game and this a big problem, as for the dungeon designs, you go straight as if you are in a closed box and you always do the same things, the game repeats itself incredibly. The duration of the game is quite long compared to the zelda games, but you get bored while playing it because it repeats itself. , about 20 hours of the game combined with the unnecessarily long and repetitive gameplay makes it an incredibly boring game to play. As for the score, Twilight Princess is a mediocre game, nothing new and very ordinary 73/100… Expand

    Probably my favorite Zelda game after OOT. It has added all the features that OOT is good at. 40-50 hours of gameplay. wide world. Excellent dungeon designs. Musics. Nice story, atmosphere and some scary cutscanes. The one-eyed being who always accompanies us. The fact that we can use different mechanics with our transformation into a wolf. Like sense. Like we can talk to animals. UsingProbably my favorite Zelda game after OOT. It has added all the features that OOT is good at. 40-50 hours of gameplay. wide world. Excellent dungeon designs. Musics.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Zelda TP es hermoso y memorable, y tiene varios de los momentos más épicos de la saga. Además, mejora mucho en jugabilidad y propone la vuelta de Epona para pasearse en caballo por los grandes terrenos de Hyrule, que siempre es tan divertido. Sin embargo, se siente que el juego va de mayor a menor: Arranca lento pero bien, y luego da un salto donde a cada zona que exploramos se pone mejor y mejor, hasta que llegado el 70% del juego mas o menos se empieza a estancar y ofrece los tramos más aburridos del juego, aunque intercalando por algunos muy buenos.
    Párrafo aparte para el Templo del Tiempo, sin dudas y por diferencia el peor templo de toda la saga Zelda. Extremadamente lineal y muy aburrido, con el agravante de que el momento previo a entrar, donde volvemos al Templo del Tiempo de Ocarina of Time con su música y todo luego de colocar la Espada Maestra, dejan al jugador en un éxtasis y expectativa que después se convierte en la mayor decepción que me dio alguna vez un Zelda (y creo que la única).

    Would recommend. It is great fun. Enemies are at a perfect difficulty, you feel like you are fighting monsters and not d&d figures. Story and characters are compelling and equipment and weapons are fun to use and are smart.

    In my opinion, the best Zelda experience, perfectioning the Ocarina of Time formula.
    Beautiful dark art style, nice soundtrack and a great narrative. Probably with the most challenging puzzles of the saga. The combat system gets more enjoyable as you progress through the story.
    Simply one of the best videogames of history, will leave you marked.

    The main dissapointing element in this game is the wolf-parts that are boring and something you want to be done with as fast as possible. Apart from that the game is pretty good, altough it feels less adventorous than other Zelda games; I didn't feel the same enjoyment exploring the world and looking for items.

    It's still the most cinematic, engrossing Zelda we've ever played, and as such, deserves nothing but the absolute highest recommendation. Flaws are present, sure, but we'll burn our entire library of games before we say Twilight Princess is anything but incredible.

    But the moment the opening symphony plays until the concluding credits, all fear and doubt quickly vanishes like the cool whispering of an autumn's breeze. Though not flawless, Nintendo have once again demonstrated masterful craftsmanship, challenging design and imaginative artistry.

    This game is more or less the latest version of a realm that has been long established and already seen. Yes, the story is darker, longer, and more character driven than anything before it. Yes, the dungeons and sidequests are remarkably well crafted. That doesn't mean that both seasoned Zelda fans and newcomers alike will enjoy the lacking difficulty and the other small problems that plague the game.
