{{nihongo|'''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'''|ゼルダの伝説 トワイライトプリンセス|''Zeruda no Densetsu Towairaito Purinsesu''}} is an [[action-adventure]] game developed by [[Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development]], and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Wii]] and [[GameCube]] video game consoles. It is the thirteenth installment in [[Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]] series. Originally planned for release in November [[2005]], Twilight Princess was delayed by Nintendo to allow its developers to refine the game and add more content. The Wii version was released alongside the Wii console on November 19, [[2006]] in North America, and in December 2006 in Japan, Europe, and Australia. This made Twilight Princess the first Zelda game released at the launch of a Nintendo console. The GameCube version was released in December 2006, and was the last Nintendo-published game for the console. During early development, Nintendo referred to Twilight Princess as ''The Wind Waker 2''. The title changed as development progressed, with the name Twilight Princess officially announced at E3 2005. A remake for the Wii U, titled '''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD''', was released in the U.S and Europe on March 4, 2016 in both physical and digital formats  (via the Nintendo eShop).


'''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess''' was a launch title for the [[Wii]], and the newest Zelda game as of Christmas 2006. It will also be released for the [[GameCube]] Unlike [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass]], Twilight Princess returns to the visual style seen in [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]].
Twilight Princess is the first game in The Legend of Zelda series to receive a T rating from the [[ESRB]], who cited fantasy violence and animated blood as reasons for the more mature rating. The game was hailed by many major publications as the greatest Zelda game ever made, and won numerous Game of the Year awards.

Twilight Princess features a stylized, naturalistic art style (similar to, but more advanced than, that found in Ocarina of Time), rather than the cel-shaded look that The Wind Waker exhibited — although it still makes use of cel-shading effects, using a very heavily modified version of The Wind Waker’s engine. In a further departure from The Wind Waker, Link is once again a young man, as opposed to a child, as in the latter part of Ocarina of Time, Link's Awakening, A Link to the Past, and in The Adventure of Link. The game also takes on a darker tone, rivaling that of Majora's Mask.
==Story==
 
The story focuses on series protagonist Link, who tries to prevent Hyrule from being engulfed by a corrupted parallel dimension known as the Twilight Realm. To do so, he takes the forms of both a human and a wolf, and is assisted by a mysterious creature named Midna. The game takes place hundreds of years after Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.
Link transforms into a wolf when entering the Twilight Realm, a void that has ensnared Hyrule. This is not a wholly separate place like the Dark World in A Link to the Past, but an evil transformation that slowly spreads across Hyrule.
 
The Wii version uses the "point-and-click" of the Wii Remote as a "fairy" cursor, for accessing menus, and for using various tools such as the Hero's Bow, Clawshot, and Fishing Rod; it uses the Nunchuk attachment analog stick for movement. In order to swing the sword, the player makes a slashing motion with the Wii Remote. A jab with the tilt-sensitive Nunchuk will cause Link to perform one of his secret moves, the shield attack. To use Link’s “spin attack”, the player swings the Nunchuk horizontally.
 
By comparison, the GameCube version uses a control scheme similar to The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, with {{gc|B}} used for sword attacks, other items mapped to {{gc|X}} and {{gc|Y}}, {{gc|L}} for lock-on, and {{gc|Neutral|Cstick}} used for manual camera control.
 
In Twilight Princess, Link learns more moves than in any other Legend of Zelda game to date. Link also shares similar moves between human and wolf, for example when an enemy is on the ground, Link has the option to finish them off by plunging his sword into their chest or in wolf form (on poes, to rip out their souls). Link can communicate with animals in wolf form as if they were people. When transformed into a wolf, Link’s sense of smell is greatly improved. With these abilities come some disadvantages. While he is a wolf, Link cannot utilize any of his items, or open any doors with handles until he can transform into human.
 
There is no extensive voice acting in the game. The characters laugh, scream, and make other such noises, as they have in previous installments on the Nintendo 64 and Nintendo GameCube.  However, in Twilight Princess, the characters' mouths move with the text, simulating speech without actual sound.
