Nintendo must be very happy with the sales for this game... all around it's been a major success and was brilliantly used to launch the Wii. No wonder Shigeru's been talking recently about working on the new Zelda Wii game. If Nintendo was unsure about putting out a sequel before, they are definitely sure now with sales like this!

The game just keeps on chugging. Amazing legs. Close to or more than 40k a week 62 weeks into it's lifespan.

I agree, this game should reach 6 million LTD. It's just depressing that it probably won't be a million seller in Japan.

Wii version alone is probably 1 week away from officially being over Windwaker according to these numbers.

I love Windwaker don't get me wrong but that game felt to much like a cartoon. I never pictured Zelda as a cartoon and because of that the game never felt like a real Zelda game to me.

5.64 million combined.

I love the Wii version. Component 480P and widescreen really is the way to play this game.
That and the way the sword recharges is really cool. That and being able to hold my hands apart one on my lap and the other on the arm rest is much MUCH more comfortable.

According to most sites it is, it won the most Game of the YEar awards last year.

5.6 in total and counting, the game(s) should reach 7 million in total.

Currently Twilight Princess has sold 5.6M copies between the two versions. At this rate 6M is guaranteed, and I think 7M is a possibility. This would put it just behind Ocarina and become the second biggest Zelda game ever. Impressive.

The Wii version has maps the exact opposite of the GCN version, in oter words u take a left in the GCN version and thats a right in the Wii version its the same game but the graphics are a little better but not worth buying another copy for unless u like the aiming with the wiimote along with the swinging the sword.

add another 1.5 million to the total for the GC version and it is getting up there near the Original : ).... Yea like you said neos, its not going down hill...

Question? I have the GC version and beat it, is it worth it to buy the Wii verison now I have one? Are the graphics better? or is it just a great port?

Better than Ocarina of Time? In my opinion, yes. There is just so much more stuff to do, the tone of the game is very dark and dramatic (moreso than Ocarina of Time), the game world is huge compared to Ocarina's tiny world map, and the fact that Link can transform into a wolf makes this the best Zelda ever!

I still think Ocarina of Time's final battle with Ganon was amazing! Best boss battle period!

Which Water Temple was harder, Ocarina or Twilight Princess?

I liked this game, but it was actually one of my least favoured in the series. It just didn't deliver enough bang, and it felt that entire levels were missing.

I really don't think this game should be in the top 10. I say there are quite a few games more deserving than this. Wind Waker comes to mind actually. I still wouldn't slide WW in the top ten either, actually.

I scored this one a 7/10. There was just nothing special about it.

Iorchova posted 27/06/2007, 11:12
I absolutely love this game. I had to come back to it after the hype surrounding the game had dyed down, and I got some component cables before I could start to really enjoy it. The art is some of the best in the Zelda series. The gameplay is the most refined. The collectable's keep you playing the game, and the puzzles are intersting and fun. People blow this game's small flaws way out of proportion because they expected it to be perfect. I won't deny that the game is a bit too easy, but that can be remedied by wearing the Zora armor as much as possible. Since everyone and their mom shoots fire arrows, it really jacks up the difficulty. And have any of you tried going through the Goron Mines with the Zora Suit? It's incredibally difficult. If you mess up and fall, you lose almost eight hearts!

The game's length is only about 30-50 hours. That is of course if you rush right through the game and don't take time to sink things in. When you've really gotten everything out of the game, and have discovered all it's secrets, you will realize you've reached the 70-hour mark Nintendo promised us.

Twilight Princess was not the most revolutionary Zelda, like Ocarina with it's jump to 3D and Wind Waker with it's fantastic new cel shading, but it had every major Zelda aspect, and did each of them wonderfully. It is definitely, without a doubt, on paper, the single greatest Zelda game ever created.
