Game Profile

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. Using the power and unique control of the Wii console, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess features incredibly precise aiming control using the Wii Remote.
  • The Wii Remote and the Nunchuk™ controllers are used for a variety of game activities, including fishing, sword attacks and projectile-weapon aiming.
  • Players ride into battle against troops of foul creatures and wield a sword and shield with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers, then take on massive bosses that must be seen to be believed.
  • Many puzzles stand between Link and the fulfillment of his quest, so players must sharpen their wits as they hunt for weapons and items.

Game storyline: Link, a young man raised as a wrangler in a small, rural village, is sent to bear a gift to the royal family of Hyrule. Before he can leave, tragedy strikes the village and he is yanked into a twilight gloom that has covered Hyrule. When he enters that realm, he transforms into a wolf and is captured. A mysterious figure named Midna helps him break free. With the aid of her magic, they set off to free the land from the shadows. Read More »

Characters: Link, Zelda, Midna and many other characters, both new and old.

How to progress through the game: Link must explore the vast land of Hyrule and uncover the mystery behind its plunge into darkness. As he does, he’ll have to enlist the aid of friendly folk, solve puzzles and battle his way through dangerous dungeons. In the twilight, he’ll have to use his wolf abilities and Midna’s magic to bring light to the land.

Special powers/weapons/moves/features: Besides his trusty sword and shield, Link will use his bow and arrows by aiming with the Wii Remote, fight while on horseback and use a wealth of other items, both new and old. Players can use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller to initiate sword swings, spin attacks and shield shoves.

Has the Hero of Time’s style withstood the test of time?

Twilight Princess is Nintendo’s last Zelda game for the Gamecube and also the first for the Wii. Although the Wii boasts technical improvements over the Gamecube in terms of its processor and graphics hardware, in this case the Wii version is..

I played this game, beat a few dungeons and just lost interest in this one. The dungeons were disappointing for a Zelda game and the overworld itself was just too open and big. Maybe sometime I'll give this one another shot, since I didn't finish it. Maybe it starts to get better. It is still a very good game as far as they go, but not by Zelda standards. The N64 Zeldas set the bar pretty high. Heck, maybe even unreachable.

I don't care what anyone says. I loved Oot and bought it the day it came out, but Twilight is by far superior. It is almost the same game, but just updated with better graphics and levels. The other day I pulled out Oot and, man, I don't know how I played that game so much. Those graphics hurt your eyes after a while.

@ plankton88
I agree with you on the fact that TP is a very good game. The graphics are amazing and playing as link is fun. But, I just didn't like playing as a wolf in the twilight world and I didn't think the dungeons were very fun so far(please tell me they get better). Could some body tell me how many dungeons are in this one(Oot had 9 or so depending on what you categorize as a dungeon)?
By the way I can't believe this game isn't reviewed yet.

Yah they sort of get better. Except for the ice dungeon. That frustrated me soo much. If I hadn't beaten it when I did, I would have set the game aside for a while. The other Dugeons were good though. Great game.

I loved this game. The ending was freaky though.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!
At the end after you battle Ganondorf and you stab his chest, it shows Zant and he kinda tilts his neck and Ganondorf dies.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARY!

Fantastic game. I give it a 10/10. But I guess a lot of people didn't like this game, I just can't understand why.
