I wouldn't trade the time I spent for anything.
Post Via amazon in Wii Games ReviewThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
As you all know, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was not only a launch title for the Nintendo Wii, but ironically it was the swonsong for the Nintendo GameCube. The only differences between the two is that the lands are inverted, and Link is right-handed in the Wii version instead of left. It was the first game I bought for the Wii, and the first Zelda game I've ever beaten. It took me 50 hours according to the save file, and honestly, as hard as it was, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
This game takes place about a century after Ocarina of Time, and Hyrule is once again in jeopardy. A mysterious twilight covers the land, and our main character, Link, who is a farm boy in this game, is thrust into the middle of it. After he is asked to go to Hyrule Castle to deliver a tribute from his village, he is pulled into the Twilight Realm, which transforms him into a wolf. He receives help from a mysterious being named Midna, and soon Link realizes that he must save land of Hyrule from being pulled into the Twilight Realm.
That's the story in a nutshell.
All things considered, the Wii's unique control scheme combined with the storyline of Twilight Princess compliment each other well. All you have to do is swing the Wii Remote to swing the sword, and using the Hero's Bow has never felt so good. An intuitive control scheme makes this game so great to play. That's not to say that the GCN version isn't great, since it's exactly the same game.
I did get frustrated with this game at times, but I enjoyed the hell out of it! The storyline was dark, and sometimes I like it dark. I've played Ocarina of Time and The Wind Waker and while they're both amazing they don't compare to this. Twilight Princess rocks like no other!
One of the things I loved about it was that while it took a long time to finish, it never disappointed. The storyline in which Hyrule is being swallowed up by the Twilight Realm is one of the most engrossing and intriguing storylines ever. The fascination with Midna is an integral part of the story, as well as how Ganondorf fits in (yeah, he's here too).
The weapons and items were no joke either. The Gale Boomerang, the Spinner (no, not like those on cars), the Iron Boots, and several others I won't name, since it would just ruin it.
I warn you. This is not for just any casual gamer. If you buy this and intend to finish it, get ready to put in a lot of hours. I strongly recommend getting the Strategy Guide along with this. If you are a Zelda expert, you may not need it, but considering how long it took me even with the guide, you may need it.
