The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess marks the first time that a Zelda game launched with a Nintendo console. This is also the thirteenth game in the series to be released. This is also the first Zelda game to earn a rating of “T” from the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB). Quite a few milestones for Twilight Princess to hold up to on its first day.
Twilight Princess was cross platform
Twilight Princess is an action adventure in a fantasy world, like other Zelda releases. A generic description for an awesome franchise. This is also one of the few titles that was released on both the Nintendo Wii and GameCube, each with their own distinctive differences. The Wii version makes use of the speaker and motion controls in the Wii Remote for instance. Obviously, the Wii version is more intensive for the player to play. This is because you are actually swinging the Wii Remote to get Link to swing his sword in the game.
Nintendo knows their audience
To say Nintendo knows what they are doing is almost an understatement. They certainly know their audience. Think about it, over the life time of the company, how many failures have they chalked up? Not many. Sure, the Virtual Boy was not received well by fans. A little closer to this article, the choice to work with Philips on those CD-i Zeldas was bad too. I mean, so bad that we probably need to forget them. Like now.
Official Nintendo bred Zelda games are almost 100% AAA affairs. I cannot think of any that fall below that rank. Can you? Not many companies can lay claim to that kind of pedigree. Let me know in the comments below what other companies have a franchise that well ranking.
No digital options
If you are wanting to play The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess you are going to have to find an original copy as it is not available digitally yet. This could be rectified in the future on the Wii U though, if it is, we will make sure to alert you.
