Video games are a way to fill the downtime, and the Nintendo GameCube in particular has many games that are ideal for lengthy trips. There are many shooter, adventure, role-playing and fighting games available for the GameCube that provide hours of entertainment for gamers of all ages and skill levels.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
