Zelda Twilight Princess Extended Play

I’ve been spending the weekend digging deeper into Zelda Twilight Princess and the game continues to be stunningly good. Even in playing the game for hours at a time it doesn’t get boring. The story is enthralling and interesting. Thus far I’m enjoying it more than any Zelda game I’ve ever played.

The one area where I am still adjusting is the controls. They work beautifully and I feel that they are quite intuative, but there are some quirks worth mentioning. First, Link puts his sword away from time to time, which isn’t a big deal except that when you are going in and out of a fight and Link doesn’t have his sword out, I want to do his jump slash with the A button, but I need to use a gesture to get the sword out. When I hit the A button, I end up doing a roll instead. Not a big deal, but it’s a small gameplay quirk. The other gameplay quirk that doesn’t always work like I’d like it to is the circular slash. The numchuck isn’t quite as sensitive to the slash as I’d like, so sometimes it just doesn’t attack when it should. Not a huge deal overall, but a slight annoyance nonetheless.

Even with the slight control annoyances, I’m absolutely loving this game. I can’t really explain how awesome it is. While some people might think that Ocarina of Time is the greatest game ever, this game makes me really rethink that. Ocarana was a spectacular game, but Twilight Princess has some very strong storytelling and gameplay elements. It’s a lot of fun, so I’d have to say that so far Twilight Princess is at least on par with Ocarina and might be better. No matter what if you have a Wii I highly reccomend Zelda: Twilight Princess and if you don’t have a Wii, GO BUY ONE AND BUY THIS GAME!
