It was one of the best looking games of the 6th Generation and whether or not it's looks have stood the test of time is debatable, but to me Twilight Princess still looks the part. The game is also, though opinions are divided, one of the best examples of the Zelda franchise and a game of which I feel, does everything right.
The premise of a Zelda game should be clear, and the story in this game shows the familiar traits. Yet with some original elements and it makes it fresh and enjoyable enough. No less does Twilight Princess contain one of the best cutscenes of any video game in history. Where the game shines, is in true Nintendo style, the gameplay and level-design. It contains a beautiful, rich landscape and many dungeons. These dungeons are some of the best in the series with some of the best bosses. A truly epic end to the 6th Generation, and beginning of the 7th.
