What Parents Need to Know
About The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii Version)
Parents need to know that this fantastic game has a game-ending flaw that can trap players about 40 hours into the 50-hour game. However, players can avoid the glitch and experience a rich gaming experience IF they follow our directions about saving: create multiple save files at frequent intervals and DO NOT SAVE in the room with a broken cannon. This fantasy adventure features a lot of sword-and-sorcery fighting, but no blood or gore. A few cut-scenes show more intense violence, and in general, the game's tone is darker than many previous Zelda games.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about fantasy violence vs. realistic violence. Is killing monsters less disturbing than killing people? Do you think Link is a good heroic figure? What does he do to make him a hero? Since this game has a known (but avoidable) glitch, families may also wish to discuss bugs and glitches in games.

Lives in LouisianaI rate this title on for age 10 and give itLOVED IT!!!
This was probably the best Zelda made!Original characters *cough Minda !cough*. No real violence,but not really appropriate for any one under ten.Really complex puzzles and tons of new characters made this game AWESOME!!!!!
Lives in MarylandI rate this title iffy for age 12 and give itDefinitely Not Appropriate For All Ages, But Great
This game is fantastic and fun to play, but a warning must be made that parents must be aware of the violence and brief suggestive content in the game. Hair covers a woman's upper nudity and suggestive dialogue spoken a few times is the largest extent of sexual content. Violence isn't realistic, but it still is presented quite graphically. Zelda stabs, slashes, and at one point (I Believe) beheads a few characters with his swords, and many variations of weapons can be used to inflict violence upon characters. Some grotesque "black blood" emits from some of the more mythical and fantasized characters, but is not potentially scary. Overall, I think parents should watch for these things, but it's not insanely bad. Great graphics.
Lives in MissouriI rate this title on for age 7 and give itGreat game, no realistic violence.
The "goriest" part of this game is when you attack enemies black "blood" comes out. It's not realistic. Appropriate for anyone 7+, but the puzzles are very hard at times so probably only people 12+ would have fun playing through the whole game.
Lives in North CarolinaI rate this title iffy for age 10 and give itGood game
This is a pretty decent entry in the Zelda series. Newcomers will either love it or hate it. Fans will find it a bit unoriginal, but still entertaining. As for content, there's not much to say. The game probably deserves an E10 rating rather than a T. Enemies are killed in swordfights less graphic than your average anime series aimed at this age group. They disappear in puffs of smoke. In one section, blood is shown on a fence. This is never actually stated to be blood, and could possibly be red paint. The "Great Fairies" appear briefly and are fully nude, with their breasts and groins obscured by crossed legs and very long hair.
