Wii have liftoff.
Gameplay:
It don't get much better than this kids. The Wiis controls are put to the ultimate test, and pass with flying colors. Using the wiimote as the Master Sword couldn't get more fun than this. The motion sensors are perfected by use of both nunchuck, and wiimote as you puppeteer Link to his heroic destiny. If you were worried how the Legend of Zelda would play on a Wii, put those worries to bed...matter o' fact, bury them. Every aspect of Links adventure is crafted so well that once you get used to the Wiimote, it'll feel like second nature. The bow, slingshot, gale boomerang; all are controlled by pointing that little white brick at the screen and letting the game do its magic. The game feels more epic than ever. On paper this is just another Legend of Zelda...RPG elements mixed with over the top action thrills, awesome as ever, except multiplied twofold thanks to the unique way you play the game. Like I mentioned before, Link has all his trademark weapons raring and ready. You swing the sword by swinging the wiimote back and forth like that lil' sucker had a blade attatched to it. Aiming with the bow amounts to nothing more than aiming at the screen lining up the shot and pressing A. Running around....is still handled by the analog stick but still feels solid. This installment, has Link fighting through an unknown shadow dimension. The twist here is when he goes through the dark portal he transforms into a Wolf, complete with advanced sight, smell, and the ability to dig. This time however he's not huffin' it alone. A denizen of the shadow dimension, Midna teaches Wolf-Link all the ropes about the dark plane, and why it is the way it is.
Graphics:
The Wii isn't a next gen powerhouse, in fact it has just slightly more power than the gamecube does. That doesn't mean they still can't make quality visuals...no no no. Twilight Princess is absolutely gorgeous, stepping up from Windwakers child like Link, to a more fleshed out 3D adult link. That's the beauty of it, you play as Adult Link straight from the get go. Enviroments are beautiful; colorful country sides of Hyrule will have you giggle with joy. Hell even the twisted shadow world looks awesome. Character models are detailed and possess excellent animation.
Audio:
It's the Legend of Zelda, what do you expect to hear? Yep the series' legendary theme blasts draped in an orchestrated flair. Solving a puzzle will trigger that oh so satisfying tune we have all come to know and love.
Overall:
Legend of Zelda...the name says it all. The reason I don't give this game the full 10 I feel it deserves is because...well...it's Legend of Zelda...although the controls feel new and fresh...it isn't new and fresh. Honestly it's just the same formula that Nintendo has been using since Ocarina of Time. Even though it doesn't do anything brand spankin' new, Twilight Princess is still an excellent game.
