    One of the most memorable games. Like i remember everything the temples, the Npc's, The bosses. It has a lot of touching and sad moments. I think Twilight princess has a very good combination of darkness and sweetness. Very cool Game.

    This is the epitome of a great Zelda game. It perfects the Zelda formula! Every single one of the dungeons has excellent theming and the entire game is dark yet beautiful. It also has one of the greatest sidekicks in the history of gaming.

    Look this game is amazing, I could rate this game 10/10 just for the music alone.
    The story is full of compelling characters and can be pretty dark and sad from time to time which is a big part of appeal of this game. The overall atmospheres of the game is insane especially in the twilight realm and in the dungeons. Speaking of which those dungeons are the    Beep beep Masterpiece alert.

    It is my favorite Legend of Zelda game to date. I have well over 100 hours in the game and still come back for more. It has fun dungeons, places to explore, and events. I was pleasantly surprised by the boss battles, they all had their own theme and feel that never got repetitive. This game is a must play.

    Perfect game. I love the motion controls and prefer this version over the gc and wii u versions. Only downside with wii is that you dont have second stick to look around, but you'll get used to using the z button to change perspective a lot. I wish more developers made games like this, the scripting and overall development must've taken a long time and they're very skilled.

    Twilight princess é simplesmente incrível! Os gráficos são bem diferenciados dos outros jogos da franquia, ter uma pegada mais realista foi um tiro certeiro pro jogo. O combate é bem fluído e divertido, a mecânica de se transformar em um lobo é algo bem interessante. Sem dúvida um dos melhores da franquia!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess is my favorite game ever. This game is sooooo good. The tone of the game is pretty dark and scary. Some say this game tried to hard to be edgy but I love it. The graphics aren't the best but it somehow manages to look amazing still. The story in this game is epic. Over the course of the game you get to know and love so many characters. Minda is such a good character and it's so cool how she changes throughout the game. It's so sad when she breaks the mirror in the end. There are also so many weird characters like the mail man, the clowns, the bomb guy, and Malo. The dungeons are really good. I love the forest, fire, sand temple. I also love snowpeak ruins, temple of time, and Hyrule castle. The combat is really fun. You can learn cool skills to use in combat. Some people say it is too linear but I don't think that's a bad thing in this case. In conclusion, Twilight Princess is such a good game and if you haven't already you should play it!… Expand

Of course wii-mote waggling is not always the most intuitive or effective but some expert control decisions (like z-targeting and the AOE attack finisher as Wolf-Link) keep the player engaged and pressing forward throughout this lengthy escapade in Hyrule. Joining Link on the journey is plucky companion Midna who is so sassy and bratty she is hard not to love. Her big jealous-Tinkerbell energy is matched with a compelling backstory that provides context for her behavior and makes it hard not to empathize with her position. Her design as well as the other denizens of the Twilight Realm is some of Nintendo’s most creative. Expert sound design also plays a big element with the music and battle sounds setting a wonderful overall tone. A long introduction and tutorial hampers the opening of the game which feels very drawn out. The only other criticism this reviewer has is with the save system which upon load does not always bring you back exactly where you were (such as loading just outside a dungeon you saved inside) these setbacks are not game breaking but certainly hamper momentum particularly in those dungeons where a route reveals itself through play and trying to get back to the midpoint can be a tricky game of remembering what routes and triggers have already been completed. One of my favorites in the series and don’t ever feel like the interesting things they did with Wolf-Link are talked about enough. If you are a Zelda fan who has not yet embarked on this journey, ready your hero’s tunic and best twilight shawl and you strap in for this incredible adventure.… Expand

    To get the obvious out of the way… YES of course nostalgia bias is going to play some small part towards my feelings. That is only natural, this was my first 3D Zelda experience way back when it launched for the Wii. I was just a kid, that had no idea that a game could even be structured outside of level progression, let alone probe my emotions.

    What I would say to counter this nostalgia bias is that I have played a lot of games throughout my life, many of which when I was young. I have fond memories of several of them and still consider some among my favourites to this day. But none, absolutely none come close to Twilight Princess. Each and every time I have replayed this masterpiece as I’ve grown older, it has only reaffirmed its illustrious status in my mind; only getting better and more layered with each revisit.

    The story is just… wow. I’ve never felt so invested in a narrative before. What they are able to do with Link here is staggering. Work is cut out for making a silent protagonist work in a dramatic story, and it is handled with such care and nuance here that I almost forgot that he was a mute. Every expression on his face tells a story, in every context he finds himself in. It is never in question what he is motivated by and how his perception of those around him changes as his responsibility grows in scale.

    Midna is the true front runner here though. Such a mischievous, self serving character that becomes so much more. It’s not a new phenomenon of character writing, but I’ve never seen it done so carefully and effectively as it is here. The way her and Link’s relationship blooms from a means to each others ends to an unbreakable bond of trust is such a wonderful journey to watch unfold. It feels so human and natural.

    Zelda as a consequence does take a back seat, but even her scarce few appearances are wholly impactful and necessary to the greater narrative.

    Link’s relationship with his fellow villagers is set up so nicely in a superb introductory section that serves as a truly perfect tutorial / setting opener. The tutorial aspect is hidden so effectively behind the characters and solving their day to day struggles. It’s a brilliant balance between teaching us the core gameplay tenets as well as setting the stage and getting us invested. Couldn’t be more perfect.

    The sudden scope and scale introduced through the Twilight invasion is so abrupt, visceral and eye opening. It’s such a slap to the face after the sedate opening. Immediately brings tension, intrigue and desire to answer the call to adventure to save those that Link (and by extension - YOU) care about.

    All of that before I’ve even mentioned the gameplay.

    It’s completely fantastic.

    I’ve heard many people speak negatively about it’s similarities to Ocarina of Time. To that end, I couldn’t disagree more. Sure, there are some call backs and some locational similarities… but that’s the case for all of the games. It’s the same franchise! The game is fundamentally so different from OoT.

    (This is not to belittle OoT, as that too is a masterpiece that I love. Just a comparison that I think is misplaced and annoys me.)

    This game is so grand in scope, the journey to each temple an adventure in its own right and the temples themselves? Ingenious. Such a brilliant blend of combat challenge, intuitive superbly designed puzzles and excellent, satisfying boss encounters.

    The combat is first class. Even the fundamentals are great fun, thrusts slashes, jump attacks, spins, all of the core mechanics were familiar with but with a dash of improvement and superior animations. The hidden skills are the true bread and butter though. They add so much flair and depth to the systems both visually and mechanically. It’s so much fun to mess around with.

    The music is transcendent. The soothing and lightly melancholic tones of Faron Woods to the bustling, forward march of Hyrule field and the ominous groans of the temples… masterclass. Not to mention that little theme that plays whenever you’re wailing on a boss’ weak point - gives me chills to this day.

    Zant is a superb red herring antagonist, that provides a great active threat for Link, routinely foiling and sabotaging progression. A very unique and nuanced character indeed that surprised me at every turn.

    Ganondorf is of course the puppet master and while his introduction is late into the game… it hits all the harder because of it and the intrigue only grows as a result.

    I dare say anything else for those that (for whatever ungodly reason) haven’t played this game yet.

    To me, this game encapsulates everything that a game should be. It’s an absolute triumph in every sense of the word.    … 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.

    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.
