The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Twilight Princess invoked a similar feeling that Ocarina of Time did for me, seeing a new fresh 3D world with modernized mechanics (at the time) for the Wii was awesome. Despite how linear this game feels, the sense of adventure is clearly present, and the shadowy features in this game make this one of the more interesting and darker installments in the Zelda franchise--- although, Majora's Mask is still by far the spookiest.

My first Zelda game, Twilight Princess is truly a marvel. While the first couple of hours are slow, the game picks up from there and becomes a thrill all the way to the end credits. Link must battle to save two realms this time, with the help of the mysterious gremlin Midna and his newfound ability to transform into a wolf to solve certain puzzles. A beautiful and rewarding experience all the way through.

Twilight Princess took a darker, more mature turn for the series, and I’m all for it. The wolf transformation was cool, the combat was fluid, and the world was huge. It’s a bit slower-paced than some of the other Zeldas, but it’s worth the journey.
