There's a reason "Legend" accompanies the title. Nintendo's favorite hero, Link, kicks off the Wii launch with Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, another heroic adventure that cements the franchise as one of gaming's best.

Zelda returns with the same nail-biting action and brain-teasing dungeons. And new gameplay elements and the Wii's innovative controls immerse you deeper than any previous Zelda title.

The story begins with Link working as a farm hand. After friends from his village are kidnapped., Link is sucked into a dark realm and transformed into a wolf. There, he meets Princess Zelda, who details Hyrule's descent into eternal twilight. Link then sets off to destroy this new evil and pull Hyrule back into the light. The story starts off slow, but turns quite intense as you progress.

Visually, Zelda is enchanting. Graphics don't offer next-gen horsepower, but landscapes and dungeons still look stunning. The sound package is equally fantastic, especially with the Wii remote. Hearing the clangs of swords from the remote or arrows leaving your hand enliven the action. The game's music is powerful, adding to the epic nature of your adventure.
