Hailed by many as the best Zelda game since 1998’s Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess thrusts players into a troubled world ravaged by a dangerous magic. Link is ordered by the mayor to attend the Hyrule Summit, oblivious to the fate that descended upon the kingdom. Players will explore the vast land of Hyrule and enlist the aid of companions to solve puzzles and battle his way through dangerous dungeons. Many puzzles stand between Link and the fulfillment of his quest, so players must sharpen their wits as they hunt for weapons and items. Ride into battle against troops of foul creatures and use Midna’s magic to bright light to the land.

Ah yes, the "Zelda Cycle" is as reliable as the passing of the seasons. What is the "Zelda Cycle" you might ask? It’s a pattern that takes place over roughly a decade wherein a new Zelda game is released to universal critical and community praise, then scrutinized, then bashed, then loathed and hated as "the black sheep" of the series, then reevaluated and slowly accepted again, until the final step wherein it is viewed as a beloved cult classic. For a long time, admitting you liked Twilight Princess was a statement you had to qualify and justify to others (right now it’s Skyward Sword’s turn on the hobbling wheel, judging by internet comments anyway). Not now though, because we’ve finally gotten to the point in the Zelda cycle where Twilight Princess is now rightly viewed as a high quality classic. The same thing happened to The Wind Waker as well, which is now universally loved, and rightly so (Wind Waker is my favorite entry in the Zelda series, which is my favorite game series of all time). For the record, I’ve loved Twilight Princess since I first played it roughly a decade ago, and my love for it has only grown each time I’ve played it since (which is about 5 or 6 times with a couple completionist runs in there, and I’ve played both the Gamecube and Wii versions). It has always been one of my favorite Zelda games. Now that everybody is generally on board in liking the game, it is the perfect time to release an HD remaster. Everyone loved Wind Wa.
i’ve been a zelda fan since before i could walk. i would sit and watch my aunt play for hours and when i was old enough to play i was instantly hooked on link to the past. Ocarina of time was one of the high points for series along with wind waker even if wind waker was a strange departure in both art style and storyline. Twilight Princess doesn’t attempt to do anything differently it reminded me instantly of ocarina of time. From the locations(you revisit some of the temples from oot). I highly recommend this game i found the gamecube version more enjoyable but the wii version isn’t bad either. Fans of the series are sure to love this and newcomers can find things to enjoy as well. Can’t wait for skyward sword!
This game is amazing!!!!! So fantastic game for Wii U! Now me and my wife can play it and experimenting the awesome figures that appears! I love the transfor wolf vs link!! So great! That’s a perfect thing for a present! I love Zelda!!!!!!!
Fantastic game
I’m not accustomed to the Legend of Zelda franchise and in fact Twilight Princess has been my first game from this franchise, but let me tell you I found this game to be an immense pleasure. Twilight Princess really makes you think and while it’s not to challenging, it’s not too easy either. There are many times when I was in a dungeon and really confused just saying “huh” and then when I found out the puzzle I would go “duh!” In fact Twilight Princess took me over sixty hours to complete…and I still haven’t gotten everything. This game is easily one of my favorite games ever, but why not I give you my reasons why I love it so much, and if you disagree… hey it’s my opinion.One high point to Twilight Princess was the story, I had never been so interested in a video game storyline, and I never got sick of the long cut scenes, in fact I eagerly awaited them to see what would happen next. Twilight Princess begins in Ordon Village as Link helps at the ranch herding goats, but when the village children are kidnapped by a group of monsters Link pursues the attackers and gets trapped in Midna’s (a member of the Twili) affairs in the Twilight.I especially liked the characters, but Link’s not my favorite, in fact Midna was. Midna is the kind of character that could have been really and I truly mean REALLY annoying, but she has this quality that makes you like her. And she really balances out the serious tone of Link, there are also many other characters that can provide a laugh or that you may help in a side mission. But a few missions I still haven’t finished, the Poe souls can be a really big hassle to collect because there are so many and some only come out at night, it takes way to long and gets tiresome. But some were pretty fun like fixing the bridge by Hyrule Castle.But the most important part of any video game is the gameplay, in Twilight Princess you get plenty of this. Hyrule Field is huge and it takes over six minutes to go across and that’s while riding Epona, and another plus is that the scenery changes, and seeing the sunset while you cross the bridge of Eldin is awesome. And the dungeons are numerous and all unique, there is an old damaged house covered with ice and snow, a dungeon scorched with lava in the Goron mines, and so on. But I was disappointed with Castle Town, there isn’t much to do or many people to talk to and it just feels so limited. But most of the time you are pretty much on your own and free to mess around. The reason I love playing this game is because you have to be very observant of your surroundings. Once when I was in Hyrule Field I noticed a ledge I could Claw Shot to, and there was a cave, inside the cave was a heart piece but I would have never found it if I wasn’t exploring. To me games without a set path are so much fun but it comes with some pretty hard challenges. I played the game without a guide and it can be pretty challenging, so if you’re planning on collecting all the bugs, Poe souls and every heart piece you definitely need a guide. I especially loved Riding Epona in Twilight Princess, first of all Hyrule Field would take forever to explore by foot, and riding Epona is so much fun, the controls are very fluid and that makes riding around a blast.Another huge aspect of gameplay is Link…transformed into wolf form. Playing as wolf Link is definitely not as fun as being human Link but I absolutely loved using the sense button, (pressing the sense button lets you see hidden objects underground and Poe’s and other objects) but I will admit, later in the game you have the option of transforming from human Link to wolf Link whenever you want, and I never chose to be wolf Link unless it was absolutely nessecary. But I’m not saying being wolf Link is boring, it can be pretty fun sometimes, and it’s in interesting part of the game’s gameplay.The graphics are fantastic in Twilight Princess, I love the detail put into Link’s clothing, the villages and the landscapes were all so much fun to see. And Epona has realistic movements as well, it’s also really awesome crossing the bridge of Eldin at sunset and looking at the sun set behind Hyrule Castle, elements like these make gameplay twice as fun. But sometimes I got a little sick of being in the Twilight, the backgrounds are all faded and murky and it kind of takes away from the landscapes that were impressively designed. But overall it’s fantastic, I also liked the detailed creatures, sometimes it can actually be freaky being chased by the huge boars in Hyrule Field because of the well detailed design. But like I said cross the bridge of Eldin and you’ll see what I mean.Twilight Princess also has some nice music here and there while I didn’t enjoy the music while in the Twilight realm. But a few particular tracks stood out to me, like Midna’s Lament, Gerudo Desert, of course the Hyrule Field Theme and one of my favorite locations is without any music. When you’re on the outside of Hyrule Castle all you hear is rain pouring down on the cement path and it really works. And while I agree with others it would have been great to hear Twilight Princess orchestrated the music still is fantastic compared to some other games I’ve played.Now there is a choice, which console should you get Twilight Princess on, the GameCube or the Wii? If you own the Wii you may want to get it on that since many say the graphics are slightly improved and targeting is much better, but most people looking at the GameCube version probably don’t have a Wii but I just wanted to say, the experience is still very satisfying either console you get Twilight Princess on. With that said I will conclude with this thought, this may be my first experience with the Zelda franchise but it definitely won’t be my last. Twilight Princess is highly recommended.
A must have for zelda players
Better than it was for wii
I waited a long time to purchase and play Twilight Princess HD. Long story short, if you want to play Twilight Princess in 2020, the HD version is the premiere version of the game and the best way to experience it, in my opinion. In addition to having vastly improved texture resolution over the GC and Wii versions, it incorporates a number of fantastic quality of life (QoL) changes that greatly improve/streamline the gameplay experience. Examples include, but are not limited to:-Wii U gamepad integration (for map screen, item screen/item swapping without using menus, one touch transformation for Link to and from Wolf form)-Gyro assisted aiming (using the Wii U gamepad)-Faster climbing/swimming speed-Option to play game completely on the Wii U gamepadIn regards to purchasing the game via a digital code from retrolio, it was simple and hassle free. Everything, except for downloading the game itself, was done through Nintendo’s website.So, again, if you are considering Twilight Princess and it’s 2020 or later, the HD version is surely the best way to go. It does not disappoint.
Still a flawed, yet great game. The HD edition improved it graphically, although it has aged less gracefully than Wind Waker.Generally, it is behind several other Zelda games, yet is still impeccably well made.
One of the best Zelda games ever made. Plenty of puzzles and challenging dungeons. The HD version is worth it (it would have been nice to have the geometry smoothed out—but the resolution of textures is good).
