Hey guys Ender44 here, talking about one of my favorite Zelda games of all time, the legend of Zelda twilight princess. This was the last game ever made for the Nintendo gamecube and was also moved to the next generation console, the Nintendo wii. This game has received mixed reviews, some bad ones from people who preferred cell shaded games, some fantastic reviews from people who loved the realistic graphic style. And mixed reviews from those who preferred happy games, and those who preferred darker games. This game brought back many songs from the legend of Zelda majoras mask, and brought back the concept of a lantern to light the way, which was used in the original NES and SNES Zelda games. This game used a realistic graphic style which was a favorite to many fans although Nintendo used cell shading for the next Zelda game skyward sword. This game also made use of a darker storyline, which was another favorite among fans, although some people believed the game tried too hard to be dark, and didn't tug at the heart strings as seamlessly as majoras mask did. This game also introduced new items like the ball and chain, dominion rod, and spinner. Lets get to the review. Graphics- The legend of Zelda twilight princess used a realistic graphics engine for the first time which caused stunning visuals, intimidating enemies, and an overall pretty environment. Not that graphics make a game, but the graphics are one of the reasons this game is a favorite of mine. This game used the exact same graphics as its wii counter-part, so seeing as it had good enough graphics to be a next-Gen game, that means it had fantastic graphics for a gameube game.These new graphics also allowed Nintendo to make some changes to our favorite character link, giving him a new looking tunic, making Zelda look mire like a princess and even more like a sage(which she actually isn't in this game) and just all around made ganondorf look awesome- and kind of scary. Sound- The music of this game is something to cry about. Koji Kondo is an incredibly talented person, and the music suits this game so well. Every song you hear screams Zelda and makes you want to go back to that place to hear it again. If you don't believe me, feel free to search "Midnas desperate hour" "Sacred grove theme" "twilight princess opening" or "twilight princess main theme" on youtube, you will be blown away. Addictiveness-I spent hour's playing this game. I can honestly say that I enjoyed it more than ocarina of time, and I'm planning on playing it again once I finish wind waker. This game is an incredibly fun experience and you will see what I mean if you decide to play it. Story- (spoilers of the beginning) You start the game out as link, or ender, or whoever you name that one guy. Link is a humble farm boy who lives in the quiet town of faron, named after the golden goddess Forore. Soon though things begin to change. Darkness begins to engulf hyrule and black beasts kidnap all of the children in Faron. Link though, remains. He finds that when in twilight, every one turns into spirits, except for him. Link is a sacred boy, who is the only hylian that can survive in twilight. When link is in twilight, he is a sacred wolf. Link then meets midna, a strange creature who guides him out of the prison he was put in. Link and midna then realize that to restore light to hyrule, link, as a wolf must gather tears of light to restore the light that was taken form the light spirits by Zant, an evil wizard. After restoring light to a light spirit, link goes through a dungeon to find a fused shadow an enigmatic object that midna is looking for. Link, after gathering 3 fused shadows, realizes they contain an evil power, which is held by the descendants of evil wizard. Midna, is one of these descendants. That was basically a summary of the first three dungeons, written by yours truly. If that didn't get you hooked on the game, I'm not sure what will. Maybe you'll have to ply through the rest. Depth- There is so much to do in this game. There are over 10 dungeons. 45 pieces of heart. Golden bugs to collect, which are all over hyrule. Hidden skills you can learn, which the teacher of them is hidden and you must find him in wolf form. Poe souls, which are scattered all around hyrule, only seen at night, and can only be killed in wolf form. Yeah there is a lot to do. Difficulty- This isn't really the games fault. But Zelda games have gotten easier over the years, not saying that this game is easy, but it is easier, some of the puzzles are fairly obvious while some require some serious thought or *cough *cough a walkthrough *cough *cough. Gameplay- I'm adding this about a month after this review was done and will be adding it to any future reviews I do. This game has very intuitive gameplay that I really enjoyed using. As a kid, ocarina of time's Z-targeting made me feel enough like a ninja, but twilight princess brought this to a whole new level. This game uses a system of L targeting (at least if you are playing the gamecube version) that allows you to keep track of your enemy and shoot with more accuracy. Also, while using this system, you can use combinations of buttons to perform complex moves known as hidden skills. By the way, hyrule historia has confirmed that the heroes' shade that teaches you these skills is actually the link from OOT. So overall, you should play this game, its a fantastic game and it is definitely something the Zelda team should base off of. Give it a try. Ender44 signing off.

ender44 : Great review! I really enjoyed the detail that you put into it. Great to see there are some people on this site that actually know how to "Review" a game. It's been an adventure lately lol
Anyways I love the Zelda series and enjoy Twilight Princes...although I still haven't had the time to play it all the way through. I just keep putting it off for some reason due to lack of free time. Hopefully I will be able to set aside some time to do so. Keep up the great work!

supercool22 : Twilight Princess is the best Zelda game you have ever played? It's a great game, don't get me wrong I'm just surprised it's your favorite. Have you played all the other Zelda games in the series? Even Skyward Sword? |

Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess is my second zelda game that I play. It was a lot of fun to play in the past. This is a great review, and I would like to see your work in the future.
