Twilight Princess Game Review Twilight Princess is the darkest, most serious and most serious Nintendo 3D Zelda game. It pushes the graphical display on the Wii to its limits. It's more frightening and mysterious than The Wind Waker, with no bugs-eyed pig guards or edgy pirates. Link is drawn into a parallel dimension called Twilight Realm, where he transforms into an Hylian and a wolf, while being guided by Midna. Gameplay Twilight Princess is the thirteenth installment in The Legend of Zelda series. It was released in 2006 for the Nintendo GameCube system and Wii. The game was praised by critics and gave it perfect scores in various publications including 1UP CVG EGM and GamesRadar. Many consider it to be the most enjoyable game in the series and also the most well-known Zelda game on the PAL market. Twilight Princess has a naturalistic, stylized style of graphics that is similar to Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time, but with a more sophisticated graphic engine. It is the first game in the series with the full directional control scheme, instead of a fixed view like the previous games. This modification was made in order to work with the Wii console's touchscreen that is based on pointing. The GameCube version comes with an area in the back of the game that has mirror-image maps, which are for those who prefer a fixed view. Link transforms into a wolf once he enters the Twilight Realm. He also meets Midna, an enigmatic creature. She reveals to Link that the kingdom of Hyrule is now under the control of a group shadow beasts led the evil sorcerer Zant. She also explains that she is the real ruler of Twili but was supplanted by Zant and cursed to her current form. When Link and Midna arrive at Hyrule Castle, a short cut scene shows the soldiers being killed by the shadow beasts. Then, Link and Midna escape from the castle through a tunnel, and enter the Twilight Realm. In the Twilight Realm, Link can utilize his wolf-like form to move around more freely around the world. Link can also use his senses to navigate around the world. He can hear the ghosts of soldiers and animals in the distance. He can also whistle and pick grass from certain patches to summon an animal such as a Hawk, Epona or other. Link can also howl near the patches to summon a similar animal. As with earlier Zelda games music plays a major part in Twilight Princess. Link can use an instrument of music, such as the flute or harp, to attract and summon various animals. He can also control the wolf's appearance using his voice. He can also use his compass as a way to help him navigate through the world. Characters The Legend of Zelda is full of colorful and unique characters that will leave a lasting impression. These unique and imaginative characters such as hands emerging from toilets to pirates sailing across vast oceans are the essence of this game. Twilight Princess continues the tradition of previous games by introducing a range of memorable characters. Throughout the story, Link meets new NPCs that are not only fascinating, but also credible. It is a huge step in the right direction to have many of these NPCs actually play a role in the story, rather than just acting as victims. NPCs like Rusl who explains why the forest has become more dangerous and kidnaps children, or Ordon villagers who appear as wolves when children are being kidnapped They all have distinct personalities that feel genuine. Other notable characters include Iza, who operates the Boat Rental Cabin as well as Iza's Rapid Ride in the Lanayru Province, Louise, Telma's cat who helps Wolf Link locate a secret passageway through her bar and sewer system into the castle and Faron, whose spirit helps guide Link and Midna to the Forest Temple in the Eldin Province. The duo defeats Diababa's Fused Shadow and obtains the first Tear Of Light. Midna is the princess of the Twilight Realm and one of the most captivating characters in the game. She is able to switch between her wolf and human forms and is a part of the Triforce of Wisdom. holmestrail tells Link about her experiences at the twilight, and how she defeated Zant the King of Twilight. Zant, who possesses the other half of the Triforce of Wisdom, is a wicked sorcerer and ruler of the Twilight Realm. He was exiled to the Twilight Realm by the goddesses for encroaching on their land and enslaving the people. Zant's magic keeps him permanently in wolf form, but Midna removes the power and allows him to change into his human form whenever required. Epona is an improved horse that can be used in both wolf and Hylian forms. Link can whistle near certain patches of grass in order to call the animal. (similar to Majora's Mask). Twilight Princess is the first game in the series in which the player can name their horse. Theme Music is one of the most crucial elements of any Zelda game and can make a place feel huge thrilling, epic, and captivating. Twilight Princess' soundtrack is often criticized for being sporadic and inconsistent, which doesn't capture certain emotions. In contrast, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask have enthralling compositions that bloom at the right moment to create a feeling of majestic and eerie. Twilight Princess was composed by Asuka Ohta and Toru Minegishi. Koji Kondo, the series' composer for the first since Wind Waker was responsible for overseeing the composers. The soundtrack to Twilight Princess is a radical deviation from the standard approach to the series, with an approach that is minimalist to melody and arrangement. The majority of dungeon and field themes start with a single instrument, creating a hypnotic and mysterious atmosphere for the player. Midna's lament, for instance is a song that uses a keyboard to create a sense of sadness for the player. Dungeon themes are the most prominent examples of this trend towards minimalism, with numerous Dungeons displaying a dark and ominous ambience. This is most evident in Twilight Realm, which has an dark soundscape that is reminiscent of scenes in a David Lynch movie. The unsettling and ominous nature of the track is enhanced by the lack of recognisable melodies and the traditional arrangement with dreary drones and peculiar patterns intertwining to create a bleak texture. Link's song from his hometown, “Faron Woods,” is a more uplifting and joyful song. This tune uses a variety of soft sounds and stringed instruments to create an idyllic feeling of security and peace for the player. The song also has an enigmatic reference to the franchise's most well-known scene, as it features a riff that is very like the iconic tune that plays at the beginning of Ocarina of Time. Twilight Princess also has dynamic songs that change depending on the player's location, what they do, and what is happening. Hyrule Castle Town has different versions of its theme for each area of the town. Central Square, for example, has an edgier version. These variations are a great feature that adds an element of depth and immersion to the world of Hyrule. Story The story of Twilight Princess revolves around Link trying to stop Hyrule from being sucked into the corrupted dimension known as the Twilight Realm. To accomplish this, he takes the form of both a Hylian and a Wolf, as well as being assisted by a woman whose name is Midna. Midna was the first ruler of Twili but she was overthrown and cursed by Zant to transform into her imp form. The Sages of the past tell Link and Midna that only the defeat of Ganondorf will remove them from their curse. The Sages reveal that the Mirror of Twilight is the source of the darkness in the Twilight Realm. Midna and Link travel to the Spirit's Spring, where they encounter hostile monsters that kidnap children. Using Wolf Link's sharp sense of smell, they follow the scent of children to a bridge before they enter the Twilight Realm. They enter the Forest Temple, battle Diababa and get the first Fused Shadow. Faron then informs them of the next destination, the Eldin Province in the west (Wii) or east (GCN). At the Lakebed Temple in Lanayru, Midna transports Link to a fiery rock and uses her powers to melt the ice at the bottom of Lake Hylia. The spirit of Rutela, the recently deceased Zora Queen, Rutela, then appears and tells Link that he must visit the Lakebed Temple in order to gain access to a treasure from the Zora. Twilight Princess allows you to ride Epona the horse from Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask. Link can select the name of the horse, unlike the predetermined names in the previous games. Midna and Link can retrieve the remaining Mirror Shards once they arrive in the Twilight Realm. At the Palace of Twilight, the Sages reveal that Midna is actually the true ruler of the Twili and Hyrule kingdoms, but she has been passed over for the monarchy and was turned into an idol for power. The Sages also inform them that the only way to defeat Ganondorf is to bring him back to the light and break the pact between the Twilight and Hyrule kingdoms.
