    Amazing, game. You know its good when it takes 47 hours to beat and you find yourself thinking it was too quick. Only major disappointment: The music consists mostly of remixes of old tunes. Ocerna of time still has, in my opinion the greatest musical score of any game. TP doesn't approach that.

    Graphics are amazing. Fun controls and lots to explore. This game rocks and deserves a 10!

    Best Legends of Zelda game ever! In the 64 versions, the graphics prevented me from enjoying the game, but now it's changed! The only problem is that this game belongs more in the gamecube than in the Wii. Set aside that, perfection in a disc.

    Best game without a doubt so far on the Wii. Quite possibly the best Zelda game ever too.

    I see absolutely nothing wrong with this game. This was my first zelda game ever and I fell in love with it immediately, i'm glad it started out a little slow for the new zelda fans, it game you a change to explore and get used to the game. If i could give it higher than a ten i certainly would!!

    Perfect. Simply Perfect. There is copious plot oriented gameply, and countless secrets. This gams was by far the greatest game I have every played. The control Scheme is perfect. I can only imagine waht the next realistic Zelda could be.

    I think that TLOZTP (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess) is the best Legend of Zelda game that they invented yet and I hope they will continue inventing them.

    This is the best game i've ever played this year. I was simply blown away by the graphics. I think thats it's worth the price, and it should be enjoyable to everyone who buys it and has a sense of adventure, like Link does.

    This game is awesome. It took me 40+ hours to beat, and there's still lots of side quests (not to mention fishing!) to do. Also, @ Wilma: one way to avoid starting back at the beginning of dungeons is to warp out with Ooccoo and then save. When you start back up again, warp back in and you'll be where you left off.

    Even the least creative Zelda is better tham mostly games out there! Everything is so damn perfect that I wonder if it doesn't really exist! I still think Majora's Mask the best Zelda game of all time, but this one asmost changed my mind.

    When a great series comes to wii many people may worry. This game uses the wii's motion control to its advantage.

    This game wiped my socks off. I was a total Zelda fanatic by the time i finished. Everything about it rocks. The characters, the worlds, the mini games, the upgrades, everything! But what really caught me with this game (And Zelda games in general) was the music. It's just so captivating and inspirational. This game is 1 part Puzzles, 1 part story, 1 part action, all part kick-ass awesomness!

    It's pretty much what everyone has been waiting for since the Ocarina of Time. Albeit being a GameCube port, the graphics could certainly look better on the Wii, but the gameplay, the story, the huge amount of replay value is rivaled by no other game to date.

    Absolutely Stunning! It rivals the gameplay of Ocarina of Time and in my opinion, it is much harder. Everyone will have a great time playing this game. This is definitely 2006 Game of the Year

    Unparalleled by any other game in its level of execution and precision. Who thought there could be a game more intensely addicting as LoZ:OoT? The controls are fresh, and the Wiimote and Nunchuk combo present amazingly inventive and fun ways to execute moves. Also, I have never had this much fun with arrows; sniping small birds while on horseback; absolutely revolutionary.

Also, I have never had this much fun with arrows; sniping small birds while on horseback; absolutely revolutionary. The soundtrack is also spectacular, as usual with inspiring songs while riding on top of Epona on Hyrule Field and creepy notes when in wolf form in the Twilight Dimension. However, as these elements are, the most impressive of all has to be the way Link affects all the people he comes across. The character development has risen considerably in this newest installment. Link actually communicates and interacts with the people, a first in the LoZ series. The people who dislike this game will arbitrarily extend their gripes about the graphics. Graphics are decent, and as you all know the Wii isn't capable of 1080p rates. However, the graphics hit the spot for me. The ONE major complaint I have is the Wiimote's horrible speaker. But besides that, this game will be in the history books.… Expand

    My first ten on Metacritic. Simply put, this is the best Zelda Ive played. But first! No I don't say that about every new Zelda. Ocarina was awesome, and Windwaker was okay... but "A Link to the Past" has always been my favorite. Until now. Yes it's really that good, and yes it's worth buying a Wii over.

    It is, by far, the best game currently out for the Wii. It deserves its 95 rating.

    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.
