Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess Review

The Legend of Zelda:

 Twilight Princess

R E V I E W

The Legend of Zelda is one of the greatest game series’ of all time. Everyone has at least heard of The Legend of Zelda. Link, Zelda, the city of Hyrule, they’re all familiar in some way! Whether it’s from the 80’s or the 2000’s we’ve all at least seen gameplay of a Zelda game. The Legend of Zelda games have always been long, yet fun. The first Zelda game was the first to accompany a save feature on the NES, but since it was powered by batteries, after about 2 years the batteries died and you couldn’t access your save files! Well we don’t have to worry about that happening anymore, but times in the game can be just as frustrating.

Link In Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

G A M E P L A Y --- The gameplay, as in all Zelda games, is spectacular! This game though was a breath of fresh air for many Zelda fans. Fans were disappointed when Wind Waker was released, because of the “childish” art style. Well that problem was resolved in Twilight Princess! The graphics all look so real. Very accomplished for the Wii console. Instead of looking like he is about 7, Link looks like he is 16, which very well suits him. The sounds were very well designed and appointed. The music wasn’t boring either. One thing I have to say is when you transform into wolf form and Midna is on your back her yawning and whatnot is very annoying, but it doesn’t take away from the gameplay experience at all. The controls were very easy to use. The Z targeting system accompanies the nunchuck very well. The Motion controls are used in good form as well. There are a lot of different items to collect, and places to go. Wolf form is an awesome feature as well. It is fun to walk around as a wolf and there are numerous things you can do exclusively as a wolf. Lots of different tools, dungeons, and puzzles makes for many hours of fun!

O F F E N S I V E  M A T E R I A L --- There are only a few things that would be found offensive in this game. First off, it is a pretty dark game, which warrants its T rating. The only blood in the game isn’t really even blood; it comes from plants, such as the Deku Baba’s. When you go in the Cave of Ordeals, in Lanayru Desert, there is a fairy there who is topless, but her hair covers anything that would be inappropriate.

O V E R A L L --- Overall, I would recommend this game to anyone 12+ because of its dark themes and its being pretty hard at some points. On the JMRS I give TP an A+. This game will keep anyone busy for a very long time. The average time to complete it is between 40 and 60 hours! If that seems long to you, don’t worry, you can play this game anytime and come back to it; if you can stand to put it down!
