Hi. This being my first Zelda game ever played and being played on my first nintendo system ever purchased. Never was a fan of nintendo in the early days, but now since the wii came out, my whole perspective has changed. I can't wait to get all the other Zelda games previous to this one just to see how it all started. Every one said that this was the game to get if you had a wii, so i rented it and found it to be a bit slow in the beginning. Of course, how many great games have tutorials to introduce you to basic moves that start out slow? Well, most i'd say. Once I got past the opening part of the game, then it got interesting. The game play is very unique and some what tiring, but still keeps you wondering what's gonna happen next. I love the interactive qualities of the wii. can't get enough of it. Too bad I rented Zelda instead of going with my initial instincts of just buying it in the first place.
What's great about it: Easy to use controls on the Wii
