i LOVE this game! its so addicting! i got it as a christmas present, and have been glued to the TV ever since! im not stuck, but all i want to say is that when you fight the second to last boss, pay VERY close attention to your surroundings. when i first fought him, i died in a second, but, i figured out what to do after about half an hour. i was so shocked that i even thought of it though, so players, pay attention! lol
an absolute must have game with great graphics, a great story, and cool action sequences! the one problem that i have with the zelda games, is that they still have not put in voice overs for the characters. thats the ONLY thing wrong with this game hope all players have a great time with this one! good luck!

Once again, Shigeru Miyamoto blows the gaming world open with one of Nintendo's most cherished franchises. Twilight Princess, the newest installment of The Legend of Zelda series, is fun, engrossing, and a must have games on the Gamecube.
Having only played the Gamecube version, I can only make comments on this version. Despite the lack of the Wii's controls, the GC version is still a great game. As always, the game starts off with Link, this time as a young ranch hand in the southern town of Ordon. Link's life is going just fine until he is asked to take Ordon's annual tribute to the royal family. During his preparations for the trip, Ordon is covered by a bizzare entity called the Twilight, an alternate dimension to the light-filled Hyrule. As you can imagine, Hyrule is plunged into darkness, where the inhabitants are turned into mere specters as shadow beast terrorize the area. Link is dragged into the twilight himself, but instead of turning into a spirit, the Triforce of Courage turns him into a wolf. He is soon joined by Midna, a Twili and inhabitant of the Twilight, who offers Link a chance to get rid of the Twilight in exchange for helping her get rid of Zant, the King of Twilight, who is responsible for invading Hyrule.
In terms of game play, the game is still primarily focused on puzzles and thinking instead of hacking and slashing, and TP is astoundingly fun with this, especially after you gain the ability to change back in forth from wolf to human. Wolf Link has a superior sense of smell, can dig holes to look for treasure, can attack enemies, talk to animals, and instead of having a musical instrument, wolf Link howls. Human Link has his entire repertoire of weapons, including the bow, bombs, the Hookshot, ect. The concept of switching back and forth is used brilliantly in the later dungeons, where you may need the wolf's senses to track someone through the temple and then switch back to solve a puzzle only human Link can do. Other game play aspects I adored was that you get Epona right off the bat instead of half-way through the game, which great considering the massive Hyrule field, and the Zora Armor, which allows Link to swim effortlessly (instead of the Iron Boots/Zora tunic combo from OoT's Water Temple).
Alas, I do have a few problems with the story. TP's biggest problem is not internal but external, namely, living up to legend of Ocarina of Time. Without revealing too much, let's just say that I had flashbacks playing the first half of the game, which was to gain three powerful artifacts from the Forest, Fire, and Water Temples. And while I loved the departure from the standard Zelda-Link-Ganondorf triangle, I still had the nagging feeling in the back of my mind that I had played some of the dungeons before. Also keeping with tradition, music is a part of the game, and Wolf Link howls many a familiar tune in order to open paths in the Sacred Grove and Hyrule Castle, and also to summon perhaps the game's coolest new feature, a sword master who will teach Link six new sword moves, which are all streamlessly integrated with the fighting system and are incredibly satisfying to execute.
In terms of graphics, the series has never looked better and is perhaps one of the greatest looking games on the Cube. Everything is beautiful, although they don't compare to the graphics put out by the PS2 on such games as God of War and Final Fantasy 12. However, it's still great to see the better, realistic graphics after Ocarina's dated graphics and Wind Waker's cel-shaded.
Overall, TP is the Gamecube's last hurrah, which is does as brilliantly and beautifully as only a Zelda game can. There's very little I can find wrong with the game, and most importantly, I had a lot of fun playing it. I'd recommend it to any Zelda fan, or anyone just looking for a good game.

Incredible gameplay with a huge interactive environment. There are plenty of new items, characters, and story elements with still enough to connect with prior episodes in the series. While the worlds of Hyrule and the Twilight Kingdom are expansive, you do not have to spend most of the game getting from one place to the other as in Wind Waker. This game is highly recommended from somone who has played every game in the series since it began!

This game is awesome. It is ten [...] the Wind Waker. You've got your horse again, which is a lot more fun than a boat. The graphics and story line are amazing. I don't believe it is as deficult as the Wind Waker. You catch on right away, and things get going right away. This could be the best Zelda yet.

I loved this game. I've already beat it twice, and I'm working on lucky number 3, lol. No, I do have a life, I've just had the game for a while. Although there were a few things I weren't too happy with, but I'll get to those in a second.
First, the good things. I did like the fact that you were able to change into a wolf whenever you wanted to, and in order to do that, you needed to earn it by beating the first three dungeons. Until that, you could only be Wolf Link only when you had to. Also, in previous Zelda games, I hated how you had to search for Triforce peaces, and you had no idea where to go. In this game, you do have to search for a few things later in the game, but they tell you where they are. You just had to solve the puzzle when you get there. The graphics were great for a Gamecube game. I loved the story line. One of the best in the series.
Now, the bad stuff. To begin, they still didn't put in voices for the characters. If they did it for Final Fantasy, they should do it for Zelda. The beginning stunk, but once you encounter the first villains, it starts to pick up. Also, the game was way too easy. They should have put in different difficulty modes.
So, all in all, I did enjoy the game, with a few flaws. I'm expecting more from the series as good as, or better, as this game.
