The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is the thirteenth game in Nintendo's critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda video game series. It is an action-adventure game developed by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development and published by Nintendo for the Wii and GameCube video game consoles.

Originally planned for release in November 2005, Twilight Princess was delayed by Nintendo so the developers could add more content and refine the game. The Wii version was released on the dates of the Wii launch, November 19, 2006, (North America) and across December 2006 (Japan, Europe, and Australia), making Twilight Princess the first Zelda game to debut at the launch of a Nintendo console. The GameCube version was released in December 2006, and was the last Nintendo-published game for the console. Twilight Princess was called The Wind Waker 2 and Zelda 128 during its early internal development, but was changed as development progressed, with the title officially announced at E3 2005.

Twilight Princess is the first game in The Legend of Zelda series to be rated T by the ESRB for fantasy violence and animated blood. The story focuses on the hero Link trying to prevent Hyrule from being engulfed by a corrupted parallel dimension, the Twilight Realm. To do this, he takes the forms of both a human and a wolf and has the help of a mysterious creature named Midna. The game takes place many decades after Majora's Mask, on the timeline created after the events of Ocarina of Time.
