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.

I have always been a big Zelda fan, and I play every Zelda that comes out ever since the first one for the NES. I have loved all of them (except the second one made for the NES) and this one has some unique features. With the Wii remote it allows you to swing Link's sword, aim at the screen to use various objects such as the sling shot, clawshots, bumerang, arrows, ect.. Moving Link around the screen is easy with the Wii's nunchuck controller. This game, like all Zelda games, requires some thinking which keeps the game interesting.
What's great about it: creative, fun to play, wii controller uses in game
What's not so great: can get stuck not knowing what to do
