    Twilight Princess has the richest overworld in the Zelda franchise while still managing to have interesting characters and fantastically crafted dungeons. The art style is beautiful and immersive, and the fresh ideas the game introduces are outstanding.

    This game if they invested a little bit of replay value and some extra characters could not just have been great with its story, plot combat and unforgettable characters it could have been extraordinary and get pure fantastic acclaim.

Twilight had a huge map and a lot of exploration. Although it did not have many side missions the main story was very long so you didn't have to worry about it being short. The amount of cool weapons and strength link had in this game you couldn't argue that he is not the strongest link out of the whole series (besides majors mask link aka the hero of time kid link) The bosses in this game were fun and the dungeons were so creative. This is just another great Zelda game to add on to the franchise Expand

    Finding a title as good as this, that has this much depth, characterization, stuff to do, unexpected delights and sheer FUN is what makes being a gamer worthwhile.

    It's awesome, so just buy it. The only downside is that most of your other games are going to look terrible in comparison. Seriously.

    Graphics are superb considering the limitations of the WII.
    So much to do here, you can while away hours just fishing for the hell of it if you want.
    Sound's good too.
    A little darker in places than some other WII games. but nothing wrong with that!

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!

    I love the dark tone of this game. Even though it shows it's age due to it being a Wii game, it doesn't bother me one bit. I think that (just like Ocarina of Time) Twilight Princess is one of those games that video gamers should play through at least once.

    The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is a game that both Nintendo Fans and non-Nintendo Fans will enjoy. This is easily, my favourite game in the entire franchise of the Legend of Zelda. Let's break it down, shall we?

    A: Music/Sounds

    Easily the best in the Legend of Zelda franchise, and they are quite notorious for their amazing music. The sounds are also great, but it is the pure stunning music that really shines in the spotlight. If you have even listened to a fraction of atleast one of their soundtracks, then you will know what I am talking about. The music goes perfectly with the scenario, with sounds to top it off. You can really hear that sword being swung, literally. The music helps you to immerse yourself in the massive Twilight Princess lore.

    10/10 WITH my Thumbs Up of Approval

    B: Graphics

    As this game was ported over from the Gamecube, the graphics are not as good as they could have been. BUT, the amazing amount of detail on each of the characters, however, is a totally different story. Every character has been amazingly well designed. Especially Link and Midna. Have you even seen Ganondorf? The amount of detail on his armour is outstanding. I had no idea that the Gamecube could have such amazing graphics! Unfortunately, the landscape in the game is noticeably... not perfect. But, once you start playing the game you will easily forget about it.

    9/10

    C: Gameplay

    You know, you don't know how many times I have heard people say that the Gamecube version of this game is better, as it has the Gamecube Controller as a remote. They also say that the Wii-Remote is not very good with the game. That, my friends, is a total lie. The game's gameplay is amazing. The fluent movement of the enemies, matching with you in REAL LIFE swinging your virtual sword to strike them down. The camera angle can get a little finicky at times, but I can easily forgive that.

    D: Story

    Oh my lord, this is where the game truly stands out. You start out as a farmboy in a small town. Until one day, you accidentally get taken and held prisoner in a different realm. A little imp lady named Midna helps you escape, after Link realises that he has infact transformed into a wolf. I won't get into any more than that, to stop you from getting any spoilers. Let me tell you now that the Story is possibly the best in the franchise, and it almost brought me to tears at the end of the game.

    10/10 WITH my Thumbs Up of Approval

    That is everything that I needed to break down, now it is time for the overall rating. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is a must own, for the Gamecube, Wii and Wii U. This is the definitive game for the Gamecube and the Wii. This is the highest rating I have ever given a game.

    10/10 WITH my 2006 GOTY Award AND Gamecube/Wii Definitive Game Award

The sidequests are very interesting, and the Cave of Ordeals is really good in order to practice for combat. However, I still wish the bosses were harder and items got more uses. But this are really minor flaws in comparison to the rest of this masterpiece. It's IMO Nintendo's greatest game yet, and I really hope it gets more appreciated by the Zelda fans. Expand

    This game despite being a game that I love a lot has a lot of things that disappoints me:

    Firstly, there's something I dislike about this game particularly and that thing being furry link wolf. It is ruining the gameplay.

    The wolf cannot: Buy items, use items and talk to civilians.

    Midna that imp sounds like a retarded teenager hate mongering **** Imagine Hillary Clinton, that's who Midna is. She only thinks for herself and nobody else. The two unique things that make her "likable" is the pity you have for her after getting rekt by a psycho called Zant and the spicy hot girl nearby the end of the game. I honestly prefered navi, it was trying to be helpful.

    Zant is as likable as Ghirahim, psychotic as **** to the point of being a character good for the trash. Making psychotic characters as villain won't make them good villain dear Nintendo.

    In the other hand, Zant has an excellent backstory, better than Zelda's despite being the centre of attention in the franchise (Note that even Impa has a more interesting backstory than Zelda so it's not that big of an exploit).

    Well, that's pretty much it with the problems. It has in the other hand too many pros to get anything else besides 10/10 notably more items than the previous Zeldas.

    This game is quite simply a masterpiece, a contemporary work of art. To compare or even belittle this game towards Ocarina of Time is as laughable as it is redundant, it is equivalent of comparing A New Hope to The Empire Strikes Back; both fantastic, one is just the superior natural evolution of its predecessor.

Like the map changing, you uncover new passages and places you didn't even expect etc. As of the gameplay, of course incredibly better than it's predecessors with more technics and moves for your sword, interesting new items and of course the new gameplay with the warewolf Link. Also, the visuals are the most realistic than any other Zelda game and I loved that. And of course, the soundtrack is, well.. Perfection like all Zelda games, nothing new here. I believe Twilight Princess is the best in the series and it's a must play.

    The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is one of the best Zelda games ever made. It is right up there with Ocarina of Time, Majora's mask, and Link to the Past. Such an amazing game. I do not know what to tell you other than, it is awesome.

    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

    This to me is simply the greatest game of all time. Allow me to explain why:

    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.

    First off, it was amazing game. But somewhere in the game you feel like you have missed something. Zelda no longer had the in-depth characters, they all seem linear. The twilight worlds colors are dull and make your time spent there very tedious. The music has been improved slightly, with some new tracks added, and some that sound familiar to the old OoT and Majora's Mask. The First off, it was amazing game.

    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.
  2. 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.
  3. 100
    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.
