The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is an action-adventure game developed by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development and published by Nintendo for the Wii and Nintendo Gamecube video consoles as part of Nintendo’s critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda video game series.
The game’s story takes place long after the events of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and focuses on Link as he tries to rid the world of the Twilight Realm as both a human and a wolf with the help of a mysterious being named Midna.
Players once again control
the elfin Link as he fights to save Hyrule from a shadowy new threat, one that
has cast a crippling darkness over the once vibrant land and its surrounding
areas. Link has a few new powers up his sleeve, however, as he can transform
into a wolf with the help of Midna.
Familiar elements from previous Zelda games have made the transition to Twilight
Princess as well. Link will be able to slash at his enemies with a sword, fling
a boomerang, block attacks with a shield, and fire arrows with a bow. Link can
continue battles while on his trusted steed, Epona, running at full gallop into
packs of mounted enemies such as goblins. Players must explore new puzzle-filled
dungeons that culminate in epic boss fights as they figure out a way to return
Hyrule to its pastoral state. Twilight Princess also offers a mix of optional
mini-games, including canoeing, herding, fishing, and several other surprises.

"All in all Twilight Princess is one of the best games I’ve played all year, and it is the killer app that the Wii needed. The final boss is simply epic, and it will make any Zelda fanboy weep tears of joy."
