RECOMMENDED: TWILIGHT PRINCESS & DOWNLOADABLE GAMES


The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess


The iconic Wii launch title returns at a new lower price


TWILIGHT PRINCESS remains one of the best Wii games. Released as both a launch title for Wii releases and the swansong for GameCube, Twilight Princess bowled over critics. Its Metacritic score is 95. Eurogamercalled it “an incredible game, with so many peaks and so many magic moments.” The adventure boasts a more realistic visual style to its predecessor – the equally excellent Wind Waker, and features horseback combat for the first time. Link can also transform into a wolf, with the Wii edition boasting motion functionality for aiming weapons and combat. The story centres on a young farm boy named Link, who ends up on a quest to rescue Hyrule from an evil darkness. He has to travel to the Twilight Realm and scour the land with the help of a mysterious ally, a girl named Midna.


Nintendo has now brought the classic back to retail as one of its Nintendo Selects titles. Players who missed out first time, and who have had their interest piqued by the 25th Anniversary celebrations, can pick up the game from around £14.99.
