FINALLY! THE THIRD LEGEND OF ZELDA (it's actually the 4th, but I don't consider Wind Waker a true Zelda game).
Where to begin... Of course! The corny story line!
Again, Link is a clueless forest inhabitant who somehow magically gets drawn into this huge adventure, with You-Know-Who has the main enemy (it's just like any other Zelda game... and it's not Voldemort).
Graphics
The graphics? They're decent. You don't really pay much mind to them (at least I didn't) because that's not the important thing in the game. They're good, but not good enough to be amazed by. Well, the lighting in the game is simply amazing in my opinion.
Gameplay 8 It's your standard Zelda game, where you travel through dungeons and collect artifacts to be able to destroy the main evil of the realm of Hyrule. The only thing new about this particular Zelda game is that it's on the Wii and it uses the remote. If you're totally into the Wii, you'll be swinging your sword left and right, but for me, all I did was shake my right hand to get the job done. Aiming with the Wiimote is fun, new, and a lot faster than using a control stick, but it doesn't feel any greater. The puzzles can be challenging, but not hard enough to be stuck for a while (well, maybe 1 or 2 puzzles boggled my mind a bit), but that's it. Another fun thing to do during the game is collecting bugs and Poe souls. All they really do is give you rupees, which you don't REALLY need, but it looks good to have everything finished. Also, instead of 4 pieces of heart to finish a heart container, it requires 5, which takes more exploring to get all 20 hearts (which I did, only took about 2 hours (it's not very hard). Other than that there's nothing certainly.. special about this game. Other than the fact that you can turn into a wolf....
So overall it's a pretty good game, and it's exactly what I expected as the 3rd (or 4th) installment in the console series of Zelda.
I give the Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess an 8.7 / 10
