    An excellent follow up to the Wind Waker. This game has excellent gameplay with a good story and engaging characters, to incredible exploration, to solid combat, another great Zelda title.

    My favorite Zelda game, quite possibly my favorite game of all time. The darker tone and dramatic story work amazing, and the graphics are stellar for a wii Launch title. It has some of the most interesting dungeons and Items that don't reappear in the series. Even the motion controls work well.

    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
    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.

    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

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!

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

    The overworld is astonishing and huge with secrets to explore in every corner and many different interactions with it throught out the story progression. 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.

Of course it also had major flaws like the infamous water temple (yeah, that temple everyone hates), some rigid controls, some hardcore (almost impossible without hints) puzzles and ways to make events trigger. The game also requires an impressive amount of time to complete some ridiculous missions or even if you want to achieve it 100%.

    The graphics and colours were okay even if top notch for the Wii console. Opponents were varied, boss fights were as epic and challenging as usual. The alternance between 'day' and 'night' worlds is gorgeous and totally matches the universe of the game.

    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.

    Twilight Princess is a tough one for me. Don't get me wrong it's a good game and does a lot right, but it has a lot wrong too. It doesn't do anything horrible, but it has some annoying parts to say the least. Let's start off with the good. I enjoyed pretty much all of them, except the snow dungeon. My favorites have to be the Arbiters Grounds, Temple of Time, and City in the Sky. TheTwilight Princess is a tough one for me.

I enjoyed pretty much all of them, except the snow dungeon. My favorites have to be the Arbiters Grounds, Temple of Time, and City in the Sky. The dungeons are definitely the most important part of the Zelda series for me, and this game pretty much nails all of them. While the dungeons are great, it's pretty much worse in every aspect with the other 3D Zelda's. For example the developers made the world big, but there was nothing in it. It just felt empty to me. My biggest problem with the game though is that the stuff between dungeons was just really boring. I was also never motivated to do any of the side quests. With a lot being said it really hits hard with some of the stuff in the game, but I can't deny that it has a lot of flaws. That being said I give Twilight Princess a 7.5/10 and a B-. Expand

    I played this game a while ago, but quit when I couldn't advance in the story. I picked it back up a few years later, and I am SO happy I did. I love the fighting system, puzzles (most of the time), and bosses. The unique items make the game better, too. Getting stuck in the game sucks, though. Overall, a really fun experience for any Zelda fan to play.

    Good dungeons, but the game drags on forever and doesn't respect your time. The world is lifeless, there is a ridiculous amount of backtracking, and the wolf portions force you to meticulously explore an entire area before you can actually get anything from it, meaning you have to do it all over again once you revert back to human form.

E quando finalmente o jogo veio pude conferir o que Shigueru, Eiji Aonuma e toda a equipe de produção da Nintendo tinha aprontado e ao jogar quase vi esse Twilight Princess ser melhor do que Ocarina of Time.

    O enredo básico apesar do mesmo, salve a princesa Zelda das garras de Gannon que irá dominar e acabar com Hyrule de sempre, conta como nosso herói se tornou um lobo e também o porque do mundo paralelo de Twiiight Realm passou a existir, assim se tornando um dos mais sérios da franquia.

    Os gráficos são sensacionais desde da construção dos personagens aos cenários, só que no Wii o mundo de Hyrule está ao contrário do que a versão para Game Cube onde lá está tudo do jeito conhecemos mas, tudo rico em detalhes com efeitos visuais tão belos que nem faz cócegas ao novo console da Nintendo, não dando margem para queda de frames.

    As músicas apesar estar no formato MIDI e ter versões remixadas de temas famosos ainda sim são excelentes sem falar na música de abertura e dos inimigos do Link Lobo que são emocionante e sombria respectivamente e os efeitos sonoros são excelentes.

    O designer de fases dá uma aula de qualidade, sendo escola para todas as produtoras ou pessoas que queiram fazer jogos de primeira linha, pois cada Dungeon foi feita de maneira inteligente e faz você usar muito do seu cérebro para resolver tudo e como a Nintendo consegue se superar a cada jogo da série, fazendo com o que a dificuldade esteja no ponto para quem já jogou ao menos uma vez e acessível para quem é marinheiro de primeira viagem, em poucas horas de jogo você aprende como funcionam e vai querer muito chegar até o fim.

    E os controles, deixei eles por último pois ao mesmo tempo que ele é a "revolução", mas também o motivo de não ter dado 10, tudo graças a lentidão do nunchuk para me defender com escudo e a sensibilidade imprecisa do Wii Mote com os dois ganchos correntes, o arco e flecha e com os outros instrumentos acontecendo muitas vezes nas horas cruciais do jogo, como os puzzles com o tempo acabando, inimigos te atacando na surdina com meu life baixo e isso fez com que eu me sentisse incapacitado de guiar Link, como se fosse um carro que acabou de quebrar a barra de direção no meio da curva e quando bateria do seu Wii Motion está acabando então, aí que tudo fica dramático.
    E ainda faltou a Nintendo conceber ao nosso herói orelhudo um apetrecho inédito que fizesse uso do Wii Motion para alterar de forma original toda a mecânica de jogo ( OKAMI elevou o nível ), por causa do Wii Mote Link ficou destro fazendo com o que a equipe de produção convertesse também o mapa e a posição dos enigmas nos calabouços, me fazendo as vezes sentir que não era a mesma Hyrule de outros Zelda, fora o bug do salve na Vila kakariko, mancada e daí a nota 9 para essa versão do Wii, na versão do Game Cube só tiro 0,5 ponto de 10 por falta também de inovação na mecânica do jogo como Okami conseguiu fazer.

    Conclusão, só do fato de você desferir espadadas mesmo sendo apenas chacoalhando o controle, pescar, usar todas as bugigangas que Link carrega durante a aventura ou derrubar touro pelos chifres é muito mais real e legal do que com controle convencional e aí que tiro o chapéu para Nintendo, que certamente com o Wii Motion Plus vindo e com idéias novas de jogabilidade irá fazer um novo Zelda tão bom quanto Ocarina of Time.

    Some great dungeon designs and the introduction of new mechanics like Wolf Link barely make this worth checking out. It is too drawn out (the beginning intentionally to get players used to controls) and feels too linear for my taste. One of the worst entries in a brilliant series

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was between a 7 and a 8. I gave the game an 8 due to the solid moment-to-moment game play. There are 3 main reasons why I can't give the game a higher score.
    1. The pacing is off. It's not just the overlong tutorial section where you couldn't skip any of it. It's how the main quest pads out its length between dungeons during the first half of the game. Mostly due to the forced Wolf-Link sections that don't evolve over time. The pace does get better after you get the master sword, with the exception of a dull quest here and there.
    2. The story is unfocused. It can't decide if Link or Midna is the main character. A lot of the story talks of how Link is all important, but whenever a central character appears or the main plot is brought up, MIdna is usually the focus. Zelda, Zant, and Ganondorf barely acknowledge Link most of the time. It would be cool if this was a story of how even if you're not the main hero, you're still important, but they still play the "Hero's Journey" aspect of Link's character straight. It also doesn't help that Midna herself is really annoying. She starts out as a brat, bossing Link whenever she doesn't belittle him or say how awful everyone but her is. Then she does a 180 and acts like she's Link's best friend with no character development. Definitely my least favorite of any of Link's companions
    3. The dungeons/boss fights are generally disappointing. These are perhaps the weakest set of bosses and dungeons in any 3D Zelda game. Dungeons drag on and overstay their welcome, which is weird since they aren't difficult, the dungeons are just over-bloated. With the exception of Snowpeak Ruins and Arbiter's Grounds (when it's not a watered-down rehash of Ocarina of Time's Forrest Temple) there isn't a dungeon that I would want to do again. The bosses are too easy. A lot of them have a second phase that's always easier than the first. When they don't do that they artificially extend the fight time with tactics like waiting for an npc to do an action so Link can attack.
    There are some other nitpicks like how I don't like the color pallet or how the over world is the least interesting in any Zelda game, but those are just that, nitpicks.
    So yeah you think I hate this game and are bewildered as to why I gave it an 8/10. Well despite those flaws, there's still a good game at the very core of it. Like I said, moment-to-moment game play is great. The items, while sparsely used, add some variety to the game. The music is exceptional. Combat is fun, even if some of the extra moves aren't useful outside of certain fights. The side quests are mostly great. While I don't like the choice to fill the game with dull colors, the art design of the environments, characters, and enemies is pretty cool (with the exception of the Gorons). While Epona was underutilized, ridding her and being able to use the sword on horseback was fun. It's weird everything outside of the main quest/dungeons/bosses I really like while the actual main quest is kind of a mixed bag. Twilight Princess might be my least favorite 3D Zelda title, but even then, Zelda at it's "worse" is still better than most games in the market. I would still recommend the game to anyone.

    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.

    A very strong narrative, enticing swordplay, infectiously addictive

    A very strong narrative, enticing swordplay, infectiously addictive dungeons and a side kick character that steals the show combine to make the ultimate Zelda experience in my opinion.

    Flawless, utterly flawless an experience that should not be missed out by anyone with a modicum of respect for the medium.

    Don't give a darn for the nay-sayers; Twilight Princess' graphics are still very enjoyable, its soundtrack immortal, and the sections controlling regular Link exhibit the olden formula at its best. Plodding wolf sections and occasionally archaic puzzles are more of a hindrance in multiple playthroughs, however.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although this game wasn't as great as the game that it draws so much inspiration from (which is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time), The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is an incredible game. Midna, Link's partner that accompanies him throughout his journey, is my most favorite companion of all of them; she's witty and quick to respond, providing a realistic personality that warms up to Link over time. The combat is very responsive and feels so good due to how the sounds and vibrations resound from the Wii Remote, making you feel like you're Link, immersing you further into one of the best stories in any form of media. Also, the ending is spectacular; a one-on-one sword fight with Ganondorf was exactly what I'd been waiting for in the The Legend of Zelda series, satisfying a want to personal stick it to Ganondorf and trump him. I do have a complaint about the second phase, though; Ganon becomes slightly boring once you need to wrestle him into the ground in your wolf form, making it feel like it drags on for ever. Overall, I feel like this is one of the best The Legend of Zelda game of all time, if not one of the best three-dimensional games ever. 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.
  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.
