    In my opinion this game was flawed, though it is hard to see why. The universe they created lacked that "zelda" feel, more so then windwaker in my opinion. Part of the problem was, this game took itself too seriously, as well as the dreary atmosphere. I also found a lot of the new items were lackluster and fairly useless outside of dungeons.

    Don't get me wrong, Twilight Princess is a fantastic game and I loved it to pieces, but why I give it a lower score is because I feel it was copy and pasted from Ocarina of Time. When I originally played the game, I gave it a 10/10, but playing Ocarina, it made me appreciate it less. I think it's better than Ocarina, but still it's disappointing. Besides that it's

    My experience so far is a cycle between fun and boredom. Fun when I explore the dungeons, frustration when I end up backtracking. Fun when I'm a wolf looking for the water spirits, frustration when I have to look for all the bugs scattered across the map.

I think part of is my own stupidity makes the backtracking and bug hunting more difficult than it should be, but I nevertheless put this as warning to anyone who gets annoyed by the same stuff.

    Update: I've finished the game, and I have some stuff to add. I really appreciate how they make sure every dungeon feels unique with their own atmosphere, especially towards the end, but they do that by giving you a new gadget in each dungeon, and some gadgets are almost only used for that dungeon. So it's very likely you'll forget how a gadget works or what puzzles it can solve when the game requires you to use it again in a different dungeon. So if you're feeling stuck, don't be afraid to use the walkthrough, because it really is the game's fault for giving you 15 different items and then ask you to use one after not having used it for the past 5 dungeons. Also, if you have a chance, play it on a GameCube, because goddamn is the wii remote bad. I can't tell you how many times I got stuck just because I forgot to press the camera button so I could look around and see the thing that was needed to progress. Another problem that was alleviated by a walkthrough.    … Expand

I had hoped that being a Wii game, it would feel very interactive, but it doesn't. The sword actions don't mimic what you do with the Wiiremote and the game is lesser for it. What makes the Wii stand out from the crowd is the potential for truly interactive gaming experience, but this game can be played with the merest flicks of the wrist, which bear little resemblance to the on screen action, whilst lounging on the settee. Here's hoping the next Zelda is properly interactive!… Expand

    I can't believe I almost thought this was the greatest game ever. What was I thinking? Even when I thought that, I knew this game has flaws. But it has much more than I thought I did. For one, the storyline. Link's friend gets kidnapped, the forest gets covered in Twilight, link turns into a wolf, meets a stupid creature, and then has to collect tears of light to remove the Twilight.

For one, the storyline. Link's friend gets kidnapped, the forest gets covered in Twilight, link turns into a wolf, meets a stupid creature, and then has to collect tears of light to remove the Twilight. Then, you do that two more times. Then, you battle Zant and then out of nowhere, Ganondorf comes in. For being traditional, this game barely has Ganondorf. Could it be more linear? It is impossible to do anything out of order? Despite there being no obstacle between the forest and Hyrule field, Midna does not allow you to leave until you beat the Forest Temple. The world and towns are linear as hell. Kakariko is not a town, it's just a linear set of nearly completely inaccesible buildings. Same with Castle Town. The dungeons are linear than ever too. Once you enter a Twilighted area, you are stuck until you get the dumb tears of light. The people are retarded. They look Wierd, they say dumb things and act dumb, some are just like robots, and overall there is just no development. What is so great about collecting all these useless items. You get the item in the dungeon, you use it, you use it for about one thing, and then it's no longer used. You get the slingshot and use it for the first half hour only. You get a whistle to call your horse near the end of the game. What the hell? You spend trillions of rupees for magic armor that runs on rupees. What the hell? Other than the useless magic armor, there is nothing to spend the rupees on. Rupees are everywhere in Twilight Princess. But there is nothing to spend them on and if you can't carry anymore and you open a chest with a rupee, then it'll say let's put it back. It's annoying because if you may not remember that that chest just has rupees and you could come and open it again and just get the same message. The bosses are painfully easy. Zant was a horrible disappointment. Even Ganondorf was. Only half a heart when he hits you? The soundtrack is incredibly weak with the exception of a few tracks. There's barely any Sidequests. Barely any mini games. Midna is Navi but rude. The world is empty. Everything looks generic. Bleh. The only positives are being a wolf at times, the dungeons while linear are really good, the bosses while easy are pretty cool, horse back combat, new swordplay mechanics and not much more. Overall, this is an overrated game. I overrated it as well. It's a good game. But a bad Zelda game.… Expand

    I was one of those people who put my money down on Twilight Princess as soon as I could. I got many calls from Gamestop telling me of the numerous delays this game had. And when I finally got to play it... I gotta be honest, it was a little underwhelming. I thought numerous times "Didn't I already do this in Ocarina of Time?"- it was more of a repeat and less of an homage.

The lack of secret side quests was also damaging to the game. The major killer of this game for me was that the most awesome area and character in the game will not be returning in any sequel(Or so the ending indicated). Midna beats the hell out of Navi in every way and then poofs forever at the end. It's my assumption that with the removal of their forums and the invention of the wii along with game endings like this that Nintendo is just trying to burn themselves down for the insurance money.… Expand

Dont get me wrong, it is still a good game, but it doesnt quite match some of the best moments of the series (Ocarina of Time, heres looking at you). Good points: 1.The dungeons are for the most part classic Nintendo ingenuity, with perfectly crafted puzzles and some really impressive boss fights. 2. Combat is well executed and feels like it takes what previous 3d Zelda games have done and polishes the mechanics to a finer lustre. Bad points now: 1. The overworld map is too large. Maybe that sounds like an odd complaint, but it just feels too empty with a lack of hidden secrets or enemies, so that traversing it just feels like killing time rather than exploring, 2. Its just no fun being the wolf. It feels like a punishment, having all your items removed, and having the finely tuned combat controls replaced with the limited and sluggish collect-em-up sections that constitute the twilight/wolf sections of the game. It is by no means my least favourite Zelda title, and if it didnt have it's ancestors to live up to, it would be a great standalone game, but I was hoping for and expecting more.

    zant was a huge letdown! they built him up to be this evil, demonic, bad guy and what happens at the end? he ends up being a kook! it just totally destroys the whole build up of zant! and why did they throw in ganondorf at the end! the plot was going good with zant being the main villian! it felt like nintendo ran out of ideas with zant and was,like," yeahhhhh..... lets just throw in ganondorf!" also the temples were not immersive, the soundtrack was abysmal, and the twilight realm was uninteresting! so the characters are trapped in an alternate realm and they dont know about it? so basically theyre just continuing life as it is and their life is not in danger? so what? hyrule did not feel like it was in any immediate danger and nobody was aware of it, and nobody was bothered by it honestly! so why bother trying to save hyrule? no body's life is in danger or at risk!

    nowwww ill talk about the good aspects of twilight! exploration was fun to a certain extent, nice graphics, some interesting puzzle mechanics here and there, variety of destinations to go to, annnnnnd some good enemy battles sprinkled throughout the game and uhhhhh, a fairly engaging story butttt uhhhhhh.... yeah thats it

Since the above would suggest I'm just ragging on the game, I'd like to mention aspects I really enjoyed: catching bugs and bringing them to that weird chick, the hilarious plot/dialogue during the Snowpeak section, every single weapon old and new (this may actually be my favorite thing), certain 'cinematic' sequences, and Midna, who's infinitely less annoying than other sidekicks in the "Zeldas."… Expand

    Buen juego, con todos los elementos imprescindibles para un Zelda, sin embargo no llegué a disfrutarlo tanto como me esperaba. Quizá la historia, ambientación y dinámica del juego no llegaron a engancharme. Sin embargo, muy recomendado de todos modos.

    I feel bad for giving this Zelda game a 7.5 when it should've gotten a 10, but I have to say that the game deserves it. There was so much potential in this game to be one of the best games ever but it doesn't. Being a zelda fan myself, I was very disappointed when I found out the game wasn't as great as everyone was saying it was.

Being a zelda fan myself, I was very disappointed when I found out the game wasn't as great as everyone was saying it was. The game IS good, but it doesn't make the big leap like past zelda games have been able to do. If your expecting something legendary and revolutional, like the Ocarina of Time or Link to Past, don't buy it. Because you will be disappointed like I was. If your expecting a decent slashing game with good puzzle-solving temples and a long game time, buy it. If you want an awesome kick-ass revolutionary Zelda game, get Ocarina of Time for the Wii instead, if you haven't played it yet. That game will blow your mind, like it did to me when I first played it.… Expand

    Well, its graphics and sound are more than dated - both plain ugly. Textures. Hey, did YOU see some ? I only see muddy "somethings" and that makes it hard to tell what one is supposed to see. Do not like the wolf scenes at all, terrible to control. Do not get me wrong i LOVE Wii and its awsome Wiimote/Nunchok, but Zelda could have been much better using a complete different layout then Well, its graphics and sound are more than dated - both plain ugly.

Ocarina of time is by fare the better Game, its Sound is worlds apart from Twighlight and it even has better graphics. Nintendo, please, the world is constantly spinning - Wii is cool and innovativ, now bring up some innovativ NEW Games. Sorry Link, i better be of play some more Tennis or Monkeyball - both no new Idees eather, but perfect for the Wiimote.… Expand

    In the beginning I found this game perfect. It had more than its share of differentiated game play, from clutching chickens and jumping off a 400 foot ledge to sumo wrestling the mayor of your hometown. I've never really played the older Zelda games too deeply, but after a couple dungeons, I found too much repetition. All the levels differ greatly, but something seems to be missing.In the beginning I found this game perfect.

I've never really played the older Zelda games too deeply, but after a couple dungeons, I found too much repetition. All the levels differ greatly, but something seems to be missing. Possibly the lack of upgrades or weapons that an online or more explorable game brings. There seemed to be no point in killing anything or pushing on when there was nothing to buy but milk and potions. I'm guessing this just wasn't my type of game, but the storyline, graphics, artwork, and controls fit together perfectly and seamlessly.… Expand

    Graphics are nowhere near state of the art and the wii controls are nonsense; would have been way better with the classic controller since the wii remote shaking is heavily delaying the actual sword swings... apart from that, it's still good old zelda story telling and gameplay...nothing too special though for like 2/3 of the price it would have been alright what a delightful Graphics are nowhere near state of the art and the wii controls are nonsense; would have been way better with the classic controller since the wii remote shaking is heavily delaying the actual sword swings... apart from that, it's still good old zelda story telling and gameplay...nothing too special though for like 2/3 of the price it would have been alright what a delightful experience a new wii exclusive zelda, with bump mapping, specularity mapping, proper controls and all that stuff would be. i'm wondering if nintendo messes the next sequel up as well.… Expand

    An excellent addition (and homage to "Ocarina") to the franchise, and you'll have an enormous amount of fun playing it from start to finish. Get over the fact that the Wii's hardware is simply not as powerful as the other next-gen machines and get into the fact that Twilight Princess is one of the best games you'll play this year.

    It truly is, in my opinion, the best and longest Zelda ever made. With nearly 70 hours of playtime committed and more still to do, I cant think of a better experience or value this holiday season.

    Truly fantastic. It's not a reinvention of the genre like Ocarina was -- but it's much better, because it takes all its predecessors' raw ideas, perfects them, and creates an experience that's at once new and familiar. It's rare to find a launch game that truly justifies the purchase of a new console, but this is precisely that.
