Amazon.com Preview

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

LOVED IT!!!
I really had always wanted a zelda game, ever since I watched my uncle play ocarina of time on his nintendo 64.
When I got twilight princess as my first zelda game I was so excited, This game took me and my sister about a year to complete (when we took our time). Now I have almost every zelda game, but this one is my overall favorite, I absolutely love it! It has great graphics and a wonderful story-line.

Brilliant and amazing game! You will be astounded!
Put simply I am a huge fan of the Zelda series and I have played and beaten all the games to date. Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past used to be my all-time favorites but Twilight Princess blows them away. This has to be the best game in the series so far in my opinion. The game is long but I love long games. They tend to lure you in much farther kind of like the Final Fantasy games made for the big consoles. I own it for the GameCube but it still is a challenging game since there are loads of areas to explore and tons of things to do. The dungeons are amazing and my favorite is the City in the Sky dungeon. It has absolutely the coolest layout I have ever seen for a typical Zelda dungeon. The items in this game are amazing as well and the boss fights: some are challenging, others are a breeze but are all epic in scale. My final verdict is get this game for the Wii or GameCube ASAP! You won't be disappointed! I sure as hell wasn't! And I will be ready for the next Zelda game!
