One of the best games I've ever played
This game uses relatively good use of the Wii's controls, with the swing of the sword mapped to the movement of the remote, the pointer used for aiming and shaking the nunchuk used for a spin attack and more.
Graphics are good enough. Some parts of the game (eg: Lake Hyrule) are absolutely spectacular. It's no Gears of War, but it is sufficient. For a Gamecube game (which is effectively what it is), it is astounding, especially considering the sheer size of the world.
Gameplay is as good as ever in the Zelda series.
Sound is great. When a secret is discovered, the classic sound comes out of the speaker in the remote, as well as the twang from an arrow etc. You may have heard people complaining about midi sounds being used in the soundtrack of many dungeons. This is no big issue, it sounds perfectly fine - and there is some orchestrated music (the original Zelda theme tune) that goes on when travelling from place to place.
Length is astounding. To finish the whole game (including all secrets etc) it took me 90 hours, and I was relatively fast. This game is DEFINATELY worth your money.
Notes on Gamespot score: This game getting an 8.8 on this site is a joke. Out of all the game review sites, this is definately one the lowest scores. Jeff (the reviewer) doesn't know what he's talking about. If you look at the vital stats of this game, you can see that the average score out of all the other review sites is 9.5 - a AAA star rating. Also, this game got quite a few 10 out of 10's.
