Parents should actually encourage their children to play this. The game's graphics are very kid-friendly, but they also have plenty of mind-exercising puzzles that are never too difficult. And thanks to the added Game Boy Advance connectivity feature of the Tingle Tuner (which has one player play the game while the other navigates, bombs and uncovers secrets with the GBA), it's ideal for a parent/child bonding activity.

Fans of Zelda games probably already own this, loving every moment. Fans of RPGs will like the increased emphasis on the plot, especially in explaining the mythology of the entire series.

Fans of action-oriented games will love the pumped-up combat engine, which makes for some very visceral thrills as the game progresses.

Prospective Zelda fans would have no trouble using this as their introduction.

Deaf and Hard of Hearing gamers can rely on text boxes to read the story, however a lot of the game relies on audio cues that aren't necessary to beat the game.
