yes yes, epic indeed.
I dont know where other people got the real names for the characters in this game since I dont remember them being given in the game, but aside from that...
Colossi are the bosses you destroy with this game, 16 in all which isnt that many but it will take you many hours to figure out how to destroy them all.
Each boss is basically a new puzzle to solve, this is not your regular hack and hack and hack then he is down kinda game.
Storyline is pretty bland, bringing back a woman from the dead, but thats just a minor detail, killing these bosses will have you playing it over and over again. Some are actually really fun then there are others that are a pain right from the beginning (especially the last guy, took me about 2 hours to figure it out without getting destroyed). I cant stress enough to watch your grip gauge for it can be your death if not properly utilized. I've fallen off the backs of some huge monsters and had to repeat the process of getting back up which can be tedious.

the ending is very strange and I wont spoil it, just be ready for something you would never expect in well..any game you've prolly played. (crush them all if you can!!!)
What's great about it: Challenging Boss battles
What's not so great: Ending
I would recommend this to a friend!

SynopsisDarkness casts upon the land of Hyrule, where evil lurks around every corner. The peaceful borderlands are in danger and only the powers of one man/creature can defeat such gloom. Link, a young farm boy, is destined to save the kingdom from such tragedy. After being directed by the mayor to attend the Hyrule Summit, Link sets off for the Twilight Realm. Upon his arrival, he transforms into a wolf and is captured. With the magical help of Midna, a mysterious being, Link is set free and off to battle against foul creatures.Besides his trusty sword and shield, Link fights his opponents on horseback with a bow and arrow. Maze-like puzzles stand between Link and the peace of the land, so wits must be sharp to discover hidden weapons and items. As you ride into combat against challenging enemies, your bravery will be tested and a new legend will be born. Use the power and unique control of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller for precise aiming, special sword attacks, shield shoves and even fishing.

excellent game if i may so myself. Storyline changes from the usual which was cool.
Link starts out as a farmboy with a strange tattoo on his hand then *BOOM* storyline hits and we begin the epic saga known as the legend of zelda.
The extra characters were strange and new, a little childish in some parts but that can be EASILY overlooked.
The sound and music were fantastic, mixing the old with the new to create something EPIC.
Gameplay are as goes: control of one character known as Link, follow along the story to unravel mysterious plots to overthrow the world of light.
The Twilight realm is introduced though its simularities to the light and dark world in the SNES legend of zelda are quite uncanny, another detail easily overlooked.
After exploring dungeons, obtaining new and old weapons (ball and chain(new)) (hookshot(old))
our hero sets out on another world saver, this time, instead of a fairy by his side we have Midna...the impish female counterpart whose real identity is a spoiler(like always)
You now have control of a new version of Link by transforming into a Wolf beast with one leg shakle always attached,accompanied by Midna who makes this version the way to go.

New sword techniques make this game. A couple of them are truely outstanding while the others are just plain useful for certain situations.
whenever you are an old fan or a new one, this game is great for those who like action, adventure, solving puzzles and enjoying myriad hours of Hyrule.
What's great about it: everything and anything
What's not so great: could have been longer for the die hard fans
I would recommend this to a friend!
