I waited in line for 7 hours to buy a Wii (nintendo should have called it the revolution) I have to say that without a doubt The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess in itself is worth the $350.00 I spent for the wii. If this was the only game that nintendo made for the Wii I would still buy it.

The Graphics of the game are geared more like Ocarina of Time, except the Wii has an ATI graphics card in it, so its alot better. Forunetly for us all the graphics are not at all like Windwakers. Lets all hope and pray that Nintendo makes no future mistakes such as that.

I have to say that you do not start out as the same link from Ocarina of Time, this game apperently takes place some time between Ocarina of Time and the Wind Waker. Im not to sure where Majoras mask fits in. You start out in a small cowboy kind or village as a character that you name (name him link, come on...) One of your first tasks is to get on your horse and go heard up some goats that got loose. You get to name the horse as well, Epona of course.

As it comes to Game play I would have to say im greatly impressed. When I read and heard about the Wii having motion sinsitive controlls Naturally my first thoughts where "suckfest" I figured it would be a cheesy POS kinda thing. Boy was I ever wrong, I was expecting something along the lines of way back in the day when my sister would jerk the controls to make Mario jump... Yup that kind of thing. You get so so much more then that so if you have the same thoughts as I did forget it. I also thought that it would be hard to control and that everthing would move with my hands, Thats not it either. Since this is a Review for TP and not the Wii I'll cut to the point. While you have a sword in hand you simply swing or move the controller in your right hand to swing the sword in the game. Simple as that, but not so much because you can also swing the nunchuck in your left hand and perform a spin attack.
If you do the same thing while your the form of a wolf you will perform an attack that kind of looks funny but its the same consept either way. :)

For all you Die hard Zelda fans out there, You still have a fairy that follows you around! YA! If you are standing still and point the remote at the screen your fairy follows you around just like it would if you moved your mouse on your computer. I am a bit dissapointed as of right now the fairy seems to have no part in the game other then whats a Zelda game without your fairy. So far she is namless and it seems that she will remain that way.

Well if thats not enough to convince you that this is the best Zelda game in the past 10 years or so then I guess im a bad reported. Oh well either way this game is totally 100% worth every penny and I will be buying it as soon as I get some money saved up after buying the Wii and alot of blankets to keep warm in line, its the best I can do.

Take care Zelda Fans!
