Packed with action, adventure and platform fun, both games will provide plenty of fun at a value price **.

This year Nintendo is celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda video game series and in celebration of this has selected The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess to join its Nintendo Selects range. Originally released to great acclaim in 2006 as a launch title for Wii, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is in keeping with the tradition of The Legend of Zelda series as the heroic Link sets off on a quest through the land of Hyrule. Dark forces have stolen the light from the land and replaced it with a mysterious darkness known as Twilight. The young Link has been chosen by the gods to help free Hyrule and return the light to the land by defeating the King of Darkness. With the powers given to him by the gods, Link can travel within the darkness by transforming into a wolf where actions in the Twilight affect the light world.
