It definitely holds the potential to be a classic
User Rating: 8.8 | The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess WII
From the get-go I could tell this Zelda held true to its classic roots. For a 5th generation console game it manages to blend today's needs and desires with the elements that made the series classic in the 1st generation. In keeping with today's standards for console games you have a fully developed 3D environment with a decent sized game world to explore. The graphics are well suited for this game but I felt somewhat disappointed playing it on the Nintendo Wii. Being Nintendo's 5th generation console, was expecting a whole lot more on the graphics end but that doesn't really hurt the overall general appeal of "Twilight Princess". The control schematics on the Wii are very inventive and quite entertaining. I was very amused and even now, 30 hours in, still find that swinging my Wiimote to swing my sword is a great deal of fun. It's not the greatest thing since sliced bread, but it's just a step towards making games that much more immersive. With the Nunchuck in left-hand and Wiimote in right-hand, players are given various opportunities to get quite comfortable while playing; the same rules still apply: movement with your left hand, options with your right. The game offers a slightly stalkier UI than previous Zelda’s and I did find that to be cumbersome at times. With the multitude of options available to you by way of the Wiimote, I would have hoped for a cleaner UI, in general I find not a great deal of flaw with it at all. The gameplay itself is quite superb and very free-flowing. [By now I would hope anyone reading about "Twilight Princess" knows that Link transforms into a wolf] Between the 2 forms of Link the controls never miss a beat. Whether you're running around, Master Sword and Shield in hand, or Dashing across an open field on all fours, you get clean concise movement. The controls lose some points while on Horseback, but again it's nothing that severely hurts the game. What is most endearing about "Twilight Princess" is the amount of Hyrulian History that is intermixed with the storyline. Other Zelda’s have given some background information regarding certain aspects, but there is more offered on just who is behind the curtains of this epic story.
This game is as much for old time Zelda fans as it is for new Zelda fans. Anyone can pick up this game and have a good time playing it and you don't have to be a fanboy to enjoy it either.
