Best Zelda Game To-Date
Post Via amazon in Wii Games ReviewThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
No Legend of Zelda game since Ocarina of Time has ever matched the title of being one of the best games ever made. Not until Twilight Princess, that is. Don't get me wrong, The Wind Waker was cute and fun. But it was never epic. Twilight Princess takes the best elements of Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, and all of the past Zelda games and combines them to create the most epic, emotional, exhausting, and fuffiling Legend of Zelda games ever. Nintendo delayed this project, quoted as saying, We want to make this perfect. With the Wii and Twilight Princess, I will never doubt Nintendo again.
A lot of people remember their first experiance playing Ocarina of Time. It was the first 3D Zelda game. And it was HUGE. It was a whole new way to interact with a game. The Wii gives that same joy to players of Twilight Princess. The interaction of the Wii Remote and Link is perfect. Don't hesitate for a minute to think that it'll detract from your gaming experiance. I thought it would take a little while to get used to. 5 Minutes. Actually, it wasn't anything to get used to at all. It was more learning for the first time and having it feel so natuaral that you just pick it up instantly.
Here are some bullet points of things about the game:
- The expression that Link and all the characters got in The Wind Waker wasn't lost at all by going to more realistic types of graphics
- Every motion Link does is so natural, they had to use Motion-Capture. Even the animal movements are super-realistic and make you go, Awwwww.
- The temples are hard, but NEW. Some of them are classic, head-scratching Zelda temples. Others are an entirely new, wonderful experience. It's nice to know Nintendo isn't afraid of trying new things with such a classic and proven formula.
- Epic. I can't tell you how epic this game is. Size isn't everything, although the Map is enormous. The amount emotion that you find yourself feeling for the characters and when you save someone, defeat an enemy, or accomplish a quest... is exhilarating.
- The first hour or two is slow. But don't stop, not only does it pick up, after that it's non-stop action.
- Everything is intertwined, like a great movie. I don't want to go into detail because I don't want to give anything away. But nothing is done without multiple purposes, even if you don't know it when you first do it. It's not like in Ocarina where you help a certain people and then you're done seeing them. I can't say anything more without giving something away. But there are a lot of twists and turns. Sometimes I find myself astonished, with my mouth gaping open.
It's an amazing game. I'm 40 hours in and loving every minute of it. I recommend this to every type of gamer.
