Advantages: Excellent graphics, innovative controls, great plot Disadvantages: Quite a difficult game
---------- Overview -----------
The Legend of Zelda videogames are some of the most highly anticipated of any game, and The Twilight Princess is debatably the most anticipated yet.
After the cel shaded graphics of The Windwaker (which were excellent in my opinion), Twilight Princess was hailed as a return to the "realistic graphics" like the ones found in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask on the N64.
---------- Storyline ----------
Zelda's storylines ... ...The game begins with Link working on a ranch in a village known as Ordon - helping look after the goats that live there.
When the village children are kidnapped, along with Link's long time friend Illia, Link sets out on a long quest to rescue them which involves entering the perilous twilight realm and being transformed into a wolf, where he meets an impish creature called Midna.
As with previous Zelda games you will learn more of the story as ...

...my! I have just Kicked the behind out of Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and let me tell you, It's amazing.
These games, for me, are reason enough to buy a console. So what if it's fancy, if I can't get my Zelda fix, it's not worth it.

The Legend of Zelda has been a staple series of Nintendo consoles since the beginning. And as such they have a lot of history to live up to, with this one hailed as the next Ocarina of Time, one of the greatest games ever made.

But then a group of monsters attacks the village and takes a number of the children living there, including one of Link's close friends Ilia. Link hurries ...

When The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess came out, I bought it the very same day.
