Masterful!!!

Pros
+ Brings classic Legend of Zelda gaming to a new console with fresh controls & an artistic vision that is simply described as 'beautiful'.
+ Huge boss battles as always.
+ Story telling is getting better even without changing to a dialogue script.
+ Responsive controls & no more button mashing ever

Cons
- Graphics could have been pushed a little further (not as much background detail as other next-gen games have. Gives the game a muddy texture feel.)
- Still no dialogue but the cinematic story telling & character emotions make up for it.
- Aiming is a little sensitive with the controller (not exactly lightgun accurate).

Comments
Legend of Zelda has never looked quite so good or been this much fun. Now is a great time to own a next-gen console & this game is the killer app if you own a Wii. Although the graphics are not truly next-gen since this game was originally a Gamecube title, the next-gen controls & gameplay make up for any faults the game may have. I love the soundtrack & the cinematic feel of the game. Horseback riding across miles & miles of open space is a lot of fun as well. This is the same series you have come to know & love but still manages to bring a fresh spin to the world of Link & Zelda.

Verdict
Must buy for any fan of the series or any Wii owners. Great value for so very many hours of gaming.Read full review...

Good game, good quality

My previous copy wouldn't read the disc at a certain part of the game, so I could never advance. I bought this copy, and was able to pick right up where I left off. Very excited about that.

Wonderful Zelda Game 10/10

Story 10/10

Fantastic. Well done Nintendo. What they accomplished here was great. To sum it up; once again, your a younger link, living in the the village known as Ordan Village. You help out people at a ranch, with your lovely horse Epona. You help out the villagers, and the children of the village. You are expected to become the village chief, and your respected by everyone in the town. Your loved by the children, and they take after you and your skills. You are told by a man in town that you will deliver something to the Royal Castle in hyrule. Your excited, but have to wait 2 days. Then something weird happens. These monkey's come out of no where, and the children go after it. It's Link's job to go after them , and save them. After fighting your way through the Ordan Woods, you make your way to where the Monkey's are being held captive, and you find one of the kids there, captured. You free the good monkey and the child, and return home. You get Epona taken away by one of the children who adore's epona, but finds a wound on her. She won't let Link take Epona to go to Hyrule, but then another child Colin comes and convinces Ilia the child, to let Link take epona. But then out've no where.....a monster on a giant boar comes out've no where and attacks the youth. You get hit by the monster, and then your about to become unconscious, and see Colin, and Ilia swept off by the monster...into the Twilight Zone. You then wake up in the twilight zone, as a wolf, and as the hero of hyrule. To top it off, your new helper Midna helps you on your quest to escape from the realm of the twilight zone, but not before meeting someone. Interesting right? Well it just gets better and better, trust me.

Game Play 10/10

Perfect perfect, and more perfect. My expectations of this game were fufilled. Just swing the wiimote and you will swing your sword in the game. Wave the nunchuk, and you'll do a spin slash. Even when your a wolf, just swing the wiimote and you'll attack the enemy/enemies your facing. Anything is possible.

Graphics 10/10

Another perfect. Well maybe not that good graphics, but their still amazing for the wii. For those that didn't like the Wind Waker "Celda", then welcome back to OOT's look. Except it's even better graphics. I know they don't match up to the PS3's graphics at all, or the 360's graphics, but their pretty good fort he wii, compared to other titles like Red Steel, and Excite Truck.

Controls 10/10

Once again perfect. Most games like Red Steel, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, and excite truck need better controls. Welcome to Zelda. It's much more accurate. The actions are simple. Simply just swing the wiimote, and you'll slash with your sword on the game. Anyone new to the series can fully enjoy the controls, young to old. Now you move with the nunchuk. So it makes it easy to move and slash at the same time, but twice the amount of fun. And your arm doesn't hurt. Just a simple flick of the wiimote can send enemies flying.

Overall 10/10

Every thing perfect. I really don't find anything wrong with this game. It was definitely worth of the $50 I payed for it, and is worth the effort and time. Buy or Rent? Go buy it now. I said it. X this, and go buy this game now. Any fans of the series will love the game, and any new-comers will find it fun too. If your seriously still sketchy about this game, then go rent it. Don't blame me for the late fee though. Well I hoped you enjoyed the review.Read full review...

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)

A New Legend is Born.

When an evil darkness enshrouds the land of Hyrule, a young farm boy named Link must awaken the hero - and the animal - within. When Link travels to the Twilight Realm, he transforms into a wolf and must scour the land with the help of a mysterious girl named Midna. In the Wii version of the game, The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess delivers incredibly precise aiming control using the Wii remote. The Wii Remote and the Nunchuk controller are used for a variety of game activities, including fishing and special sword attacks. Players ride into battle against troops of foul creatures using an amazing horseback combat system, then take on massive bosses that must be seen to be believed.Read full review...

Good game, average accessory pack.

The Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess, is another in the epic quests of Link to save the imaginary world of Hyrule. Overall, I am enjoying this game quite a bit. My only draw back is the ancient t.v. I play on that does not permit me to adjust my contrast. This makes it difficult to see in the darker scenes. The accessory pack is quite fun to swing around with both a straight sword and bent. It does however, slow down the wiimote response time and causes Navy, the fairy to stay center screen instead of permitting the wiimote to guide things.

My boys are enjoying reinacting Link and his conquests in spite of the lag time and it does not inhibit game play entirely. Merely slows things down. All in all though, it is a purchase I am glad we made.Read full review...

Nintendo did it again!

The adventures of Link continue,this time as a farmer in the quiet town of Ordon.When a force known as the Twilight attacks Hyrule it's up to Link to start hunting down a few kings of darkness.The game feature new items such as the Dominion Rod which lets you control statues by moving yourself.There's the clawshot which works like the hookshot except this game has a second one that lets you swing from walls like Spider-Man.There's the bomb arrows brought back from the classic gameboy games.All these items plus the ability to transform into the Twilis' "Sacred Beast" make this game a good addition to anyone's Zelda collection.Read full review...
