Now since this was my first Zelda game, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. The first part of the game where you start off in the village is kind of dull, but that is the only dull part in the whole game. And it's only for 15 minutes so who cares? The story in this game is one of the best I have ever heard in a video games, in fact I think it rivals my Number One Favorite Video Game Story of All TIme: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. This story is absolutely amazing and well written, leading to my liking of the game to be perfect. There aren't any voice actors save for grunts and some laughs however. This game has the best graphics on any Wii game to date. It will run in a 16:9 widescreen presentation coupled with 480p. Very nice. The art style is wonderful but there are a few graphical issues, preventing it from getting a perfect score in graphics. Nothing major, but it is annoying.
The sound that isn't from your Wii Remote is great. The sound that is will hurt your ears. It is very annoying.
The game is well worth $50, I would have paid $100 for it. Though you'll get over 50, maybe even 100 hours from this game. Although if you use a walkthrough it will be more like 40 hours.
You might want to use a walkthrough. For the many dungeons you explore you WILL get lost and confused. The controls could also have been better implemented instead of tacked on and the item equip interface falls short. The boss fights are rather easy, save the last one. These things will detract from the gameplay experience.
All in all however this game should be Number One on any Wii Owner's list. There is no game on Wii that is better than this,,,,, for now at least.
