The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight princess is the parting gift for the Nintendo Game cube as well as one of the first games for the Nintendo Wii. The game was developed and published by Nintendo.
Each new episode of Zelda is now sure to be a success, commercial-wise and game-wise. Twilight princess is the latest addition to the series and forgets the cel-shading that made the Wind Waker unique and goes back to a more mature style like Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask . Once again, we are embarked in a whole new adventure.
The game takes place decades after both N64 episodes in the land of Hyrule. A new threat appears, a parallel universe called Twilight Realm. This dimension is destroying and corrupting the land. The game starts with Link working in a peaceful ranch when monsters kidnap his friend Ilia. After chasing them, you are forced into the twilight entrance where you suddenly turn into a wolf. Knocked unconscious, you're brought to the Hyrule castle where you meet Midna, a small creature who helps you during the game. He'll explain that the Twilight King, Zant, is trying to unite the Twilight Realm and Hyrule into one great land of darkness using an evil power. It's up to you, either as a wolf or as a human, to stop him.
We are now used to the 3D game play of the Zelda series, and Twilight Princess doesn't change much. You still walk, run, attack, defend the same way and still use the automatic jumps. Even as a wolf, the controls are simple but now you can dig and also smell (which plays a very important role in the game). As always, the game is filled with dungeons where you'll find new weapons or items (the classic boomerang, bow, bombs...)
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is another incredible game from the series. Many considering it to be the best Zelda yet, the game offers a unique experience and a great epic story. For both consoles, this is one of the games you must have!

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess reviews
Twilight Princess contains the same expertly designed puzzles and gameplay that you've come to expect, though parts of its presentation feel stuck in the past.

The Legend of Zelda is the game that started one of Nintendo's best franchises, and it holds up pretty well to this day.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess previews
Man, talk about stating the obvious--when Nintendo announced last August that the next iteration in its beloved Zelda franchise wouldn't be available this holiday season, the company statement read, "This may come as a disappointment to many eager fans...." Ya think? The lack of Link this Christmas has, for the most part, turned the GameCube into an amazingly expensive paperweight. Still, the company promises the change in date is for the best, as this will give the development team the time needed "to add new levels, more depth, and even higher quality."
