Video Game Reviews of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Customer Review: One of the best Zelda's yet
Summary: 5 Stars

I rate this Zelda up at the top along with the Zelda put out for N64 The Occarina of Time, and Majora's Mask. It gives a new spin on link though, instead of him being a young pre-teen child like character, he's portrayed more as a teenager of about 14-15 in this game. I think as with all Zelda games, the team who designed this one did a bang up job it's another one of those games that you could play over and over again even if you're not a fan of Zelda. The battle system and potions and collecting of jars etc is the same in this game just as in any other Zelda game, the only thing I really find to be drastically different is the twilight aspect of it and the "transforming." Zelda for those of you who might have never played is a more structured quest style RPG, if you like structured as opposed to open end playing this is the game for you! Zelda has a lot to offer as an RPG as far as the story goes, I found that surprises and twists in the plot were pulled off very well, and overall I was impressed.

In the Twilight Realm, he'll have to use his wolf abilities and Midna's magic to bring light to the land. Revisit classic and new characters - Link, Zelda, Midna and many others

Despite all the hoopla surrounding the next generation consoles, the most anticipated gaming event of this year is undoubtedly the latest The Legend of Zelda game. Subtitled Twilight Princess, the game looks radically different from The Wind Waker with less stylized, more realistic looking graphics.

As ever with a Nintendo title, much of the game is still surrounded in secrecy, but previews have already shown the game's enormous scale with huge areas of rolling countryside for you to ride your horse and battle various evil enemies. Indeed, the game seems more action-focused than previous adventures, both on horseback and on foot.

One major new feature revealed in the game is that Link is now able to transform into a wolf. This gives him a whole suite of new features including the ability to "see" smells and access areas impossible as a human (or elf).

Despite the greater emphasis on action, the puzzles in the game are even more elaborate than before. A forest dungeon reveals your ability to communicate with animals. You order around a troupe of baboons to solve puzzles and to help battle the level boss.

The GameCube could hardly have asked for any better swansong than this, with utterly amazing graphics and an apparently endless range of features and settings. Even with so little still known about it, this is still on course to be the best game of the year. -- Harrison Dent, Amazon.co.uk

This preview is based on an incomplete version of the game; features or problems mentioned above may not appear in the finished game.
