Truly a classic for the ages

User Rating: 9.2 | The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess WII
This was my first 3D Zelda experiance (I never got a N64 or GC) and I must say I really enjoyed this game. While the graphics are definitley not the best, they are a great artistic wonder to behold. The gameplay is also very good, with great combat, puzzle solving that is almost perfectly balanced, and wonderful exploration, along with the fantastic and unique items and gadgets that you get along the way that always prove to be essential to any Zelda game. As far as the story and characters go, the game is a goldmine. While the story isn't to most complex, it is definately compelling, dark and enthralling. The characters are also great, with Link and his famous silent protagonism serving as a great link between the player and Hyrule. Midna is also an amazing character, though at first she may seem just plain evil, she's actually much more deep and complex. The game also delivers many amazing moments and emotional highs, with the climax of the tail presenting one of the best sword fights I've ever played. I think it's fair to call Twilight Princess the greatest launch title ever...
