What Wind Waker Should Have Been

Helpful

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Nintendo Wii

The Legend of Zelda is one of my favorite video game franchises of all time. So one should expect that I would be singing praises up and down for the latest entry to arrive on the Nintendo Wii system, right? Well... yeah, pretty much.

While every Zelda game to date has been a hit in my book, I haven't been truly blown away ever since Ocarina of Time first hit the Nintendo 64. I had high expectations for Wind Waker when it first arrived on Gamecube, and although it was an enjoyable game, it just didn't meet the high standards that were set by its previous entries. However, that all changed on November 19, 2006 when both the Nintendo Wii and the new Legend of Zelda released simultaneously. Like a kid on Christmas morning I hooked everything up the moment I got home and was launched into a role-playing haven to the likes of which I've never seen.

You start the game off slow in a small village that Link calls his home. Here you are introduced to the game, its characters, and everyone's favorite

...

mode of Hyrule transportation: Epona. After spending a bit of time in the village, the game kicks into high gear and you are changed into a wolf with new abilities that completely turns the world of Zelda upside-down. From here on out, you realize that you are destined to save the world, animal form or not, and must do so by navigating a line-up of cleverly designed dungeons.

I had not played an X-box 360 or Playstation 3 prior to trying out this game, so to me, the graphics were outstanding. This is the first time in the history of the series that I felt like the game was alive, with well designed character models and astounding lighting effects. It should also be worth noting that this game has a much darker, more realistic feel to it, which is a sharp contrast to Wind Waker's cel-shading effects which came before it.

The soundtrack for this game is superb as well. All the tracks were wonderfully orchestrated and have that classic Zelda flavor that has been a staple for the series since the beginning. The only disappointment here is the lack of voice work that has been done for the game aside from the short voiceovers that play when talking to a character, but this is nothing new and does not retract from the enjoyment of the game.

Playing this game with the Wii remote is a major draw for this title. With the exception of playing with a plastic sword as a child, this is the first time I got to imitate Link's sword fighting skills without feeling like an idiot. Although you may look silly to your friends and family that happen to pass by as you are flailing your Wii remote in the air, you will be having far too much fun to care. I think having the controls done in this manner also helps reduce the amount of buttons required to control the game. All you need to do is wave the Wii remote to swing Link's swords, and waving the nunchuk gives you access to spin attacks and shield blocks. In addition, the remote makes sounds during combat that help reinforce the feeling that you are actual engaged in sword combat.

We are slowly entering the HD era of gaming, and with that in mind, it may seem like the Wii will lag far behind. But if a majority of Wii titles can maintain the sort of quality that is pouring out of this latest Zelda adventure, I think Nintendo's system can hang with the big dogs with the best of them. If you have a Wii, or are thinking about buying one, you should pick up Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. You won't regret it.

Best Zelda Yet!

Helpful

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Nintendo Wii

Pros: Great scenery, Fun gameplay, Huge world, Interesting Story, Good Puzzles

Cons: No voice acting, Gamecube Graphics, Aiming slightly out of sync

This game is amazing. I came in with high hopes and was not disappointed in the least. I played through every inch of the game and took my time finding everything. As a result it took me about 50 hours to finish it. Now that's a nice long adventure. The environments are beautiful and almost surreal in some cases. Despite the fact that it uses Gamecube graphics it still looks better than many Wii games. They just focused so much on the details that it really doesn't matter that it was originally made for Gamecube.

Now something that really surprised me here was the story. In the past I've been more impressed with the Zelda worlds than the story, but in thie case it's a toss up. Both were impressive. They did a great job of integrating the story into the gameplay with the twilight and the wolf form. While it may be somewhat predictable, the ending doesn't disappoint. It's well worth your time.

The gameplay is very intuitive and comfortable. You won't get tired slashing

Lots of nostalgic elements

Helpful

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Nintendo Wii

[Note: Except for about 30 minutes of Legend on my sister's Game Boy a couple years ago, I have not played Zelda in about 20 years. I only played the first 2 on the NES.]
I just got the game 2 days ago but I'm having a lot of fun. It took some time getting used to how to play it since I got it when I got my Wii and was new to everything. I also felt a little bleh about some of the opening stuff but Once I got into the game and got the handle of how to do things I started having a blast. There are also many nostalgic moments from the original Zelda.
Without spoiling too much, getting the first sword and then the boomerang were "Oooooh I remember these" moments. Then there's certain things you do a certain way, just like you did in the original The Legend of Zelda that are fun. There are also familiar locations and some familiar faces. Well, not the faces since it's much more advanced graphics, but "I remember that monster!" moments. I'm loving the game not just for the gameplay (a mixture
