Let's get one thing straight; I am definitely biased. I have owned virtually every Nintendo system ever made (with the exception of Virtual Boy - get it?) and am absolutely partial to the Big N's games and hardware.
Okay, now that we've established that, let me say this:
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: TWILIGHT PRINCESS IS THE BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED!!!!!!!!1
Yeah. 15 hours in, only two dungeons finished (out of 9) and no time spent on side quests, and I can say with complete veracity that I've never played better. Every aspect, from control to character development, has me mesmerized. True, the visuals aren't completely "Next Gen", but that takes nothing away from the amazement that this game produces.
I would say that, aside from the phenomal new control mechanics (sniping enemies with the bow is sheer bliss) and the excellent level design, Twilight Princess ups the ante over previous Zelda titles with its epic and immersive storyline. I remember being moved by Ocarina of Time and shocked by Wind Waker, but Twilight Princess brings a new level of emotional connection to the characters, in part due to better animations and facial expressions.
So, congratulations, Nintendo, Miyamoto and Aonuma; you have succeeded. You have built the greatest Zelda game ever, and possibly the best video game ever.

I must admit that I am also a fan of Nintendo even if I don't own a Wii (I think that paying 350$ and MUST waste my time to find one after one year is completly stupid). I'm also a BIG fan of Zelda since Ocarina of Time and yes, Twilight Princess is awesome. Awesome, yep, the best? No. I enjoyed to play Majora Mask a lot more than Twilight Princess. The gameplay of TP is made for children, of course, but I never played a game of Zelda with that much facility. I think I've lost 20 hearts at all and complete it took me about 5 hours. Graphics: 10/10 Music : 12/10 (Music is always the best point on Zelda games) Gameplay: 6/10 Storyline : 9/10.
If the game would have be a bit more hard then the overall score would be 10/10 but for now, I'll give it a 9/10.
