Product Description
When an evil darkness enshrouds the land of Hyrule, a young farm boy named Link must awaken the hero - and the animal - within. Link, a young man raised as a wrangler in a small, rural village, is ordered by the mayor to attend the Hyrule Summit. He sets off, oblivious to the dark fate that has descended upon the kingdom. When he enters the Twilight Realm that has covered Hyrule, he transforms into a wolf and is captured. A mysterious figure named Midna helps him break free. With the aid of her magic, they set off to free the land from the shadows. Link must explore the vast land of Hyrule and uncover the mystery behind its plunge into darkness. As he does, he'll have to enlist the aid of friendly folk, solve puzzles and battle his way through dangerous dungeons. In the Twilight Realm, he'll have to use his wolf abilities and Midna's magic to bring light to the land. Besides his trusty sword and shield, Link will use his bow and arrows, fight while on horseback and use a wealth of other items, both new and old. Players can use the Wii Remote as a fishing pole, while a spin of the Nunchuk controller executes a spin attack.
Amazon.co.uk Review
In a nutshell:
The Metroid Prime trilogy comes to an end on the Wii, using not just the console’s improved graphical abilities but also the full range of the controller’s features. Half first person shooter, half Zelda style Sci-Fi adventure this is destined to be one of the best games of the next generation. The lowdown:
The Wii remote and nunchuck have what seems like an infinite range of functions but of all the games shown so far this is the only one that seems to use every single one. Although there is still a lock-on option for attacking enemies you can now play the game more like a first person shoot aem-up as you target enemies instantly, just by pointing with the Wii remote. All of the buttons, including the D-pad, are used to access Samus's various abilities, which are added to with new uses for the grappling hook. This now works like a whip, allowing you to nab enemy shields by simply flicking the nunchuck (which also has a motion sensor in it) forward. Most exciting moment:
The best bit of the lengthy E3 demo is an amazing boss fight with regular series villain Ridley, as you both fall through a giant energy shaft. Not only do you have to dodge his attacks but you have to beat him before you both end up splatted at the bottom of the shaft. Since you ask:
The game’s graphics are noticeably improved from the GameCube titles, with much more detailed enemies and much larger game areas. There’s also a lot more enemies onscreen at once, as well as apparently friendly fellow bounty hunters. The bottom line:
The legendary series evolves again, with the best use of the Wii’s controller yet.

 One of the best games on the wii! December 29, 2008
Having previously played Zelda : Ocarina of time on the N64 I knew what to expect with this title. I have read a lot of reviews stating that the N64 game is superior, but I have to disagree - I found this game much more enjoyable and I was hooked on it!
The controls are easy to master and using the remote as a sword you really feel part of the game.
Although I have now completed the story section of the game (it took me about 40 hours, and I would say I am a casual gamer), I still find myself going back from time to time for a spot of fishing or the other mini games within the game.
One of the major complaints of the wii is the graphics - this game surpasses all expectations on that front. It is visually stunning, and this really adds to the enjoyment of the game.
Hands down this is probably one of the best games if not the best game for the wii. It goes to show that the wii is not just for lame party games or cheap third party titles and is capable of having games that are ps3/360 standard in terms of gameplay.
Great game November 25, 2008
I must admit that i am not a die hard fan. This is the first zelda game
i have got. But i enjoyed this game more than most other games on the wii.
The only problem i have with it is that after you have finished the story it is not as good
The reason the Nintendo Wii was made. August 29, 2008

The best way to describe this game is brilliant, it makes you think about what you are doing aswell as enjoying it, right at the beginning - when you have rounded up the goats on the ranch and you jump into the village, you have little mysteries to solve, you approach people and speak to them, and they each have a little problem, you need to sort out their problem, for instance the small thin man moaning about the bees nest - you have to figure out how to knock down the bees nest, I wont give too much away but you have to buy a sling shot from the local shop, I used the sling shot to knock down the bee hive, also the lady who owns the shop has lost her cat, so until you find her cat and return it - you cannot buy anything from her shop! The graphics are phenomenal, really enhances the game to feel as though you are watching a dvd in some parts, I am 21 years old and although its not really scary or techincal, I thoroughly enjoy playing on it. There are quite a few surprises - I wont give too much away but you dont stay human after you complete the first part! I think this game deserves a 5* rating as I am quite drawn into the graphics and finding out any more surprises, not an average rescue/fighting game, your character changes, you can ride a horse, you can solve puzzles - I recommend this game to EVERYONE!
Awesome! August 1, 2008

This is a great game, plot is great, puzzles are great, and its generally great, its great fun long and good graphics, i have completed it 2 times from the beginning i enjoyed it so much! There are just a few things i want to say about this game that are not so good.
1. Fighting
This is the thing i hate most about it! the fighting is way to easy, most enemies are easy to dodge and die in a few blows. I ended up doing the whole game with no shield hyrule sword and 3 hearts the second time i completed it. It was a little harder. I have to say some of the bosses like that guy who rides a hog on foot with a big hammer are much harder than the ending boss. (in fact he was the only thing i found hard on 3 hearts because he takes off 3 hearts =/) but seriously, they need to make an easy medium and hard mode (this game would be the very easy mode)
2.Items
I have to say that you only use about 2 items per dungeon, and it would be really nice if you had to use almost your whole arsenal in every dungeon. The gale boomerang for example. I only ever used it in the first dungeon and the last and all the other times it lay in my backpack forgotten. Also rupees easily fill up your wallet in hardly any time and i never spent them and bombs never seem to get used. I've got 3 full bomb bags that I havent had to fill for basically the whole game.
3.Warping
I have to say even though some of you are gonna disagree it gets boring just warping everywhere. I think they should of only had warping at the bits where you are in twilight realm.
But i still say you should get this game, even if these advantages are annoying, you only ever notice them when youve completed it and look back. I personally think this was a great buy and i recommend it on.
