Twilight Princess Game Review The most dark and serious of the Nintendo 3D Zelda games, Twilight Princess pushes the limits of graphics to the maximum limits on the Wii's hardware. It's darker and more disturbing than The Wind Waker. There aren't any bug-eyed pigs, nor effeminate Pirates. Link is drawn to a parallel dimension known as Twilight Realm where he takes on the form of both the form of a Hylian wolf and the form of a Hylian while being guided 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 received perfect scores from various publications, including 1UP, CVG, EGM, and GamesRadar. Many consider it to be the most enjoyable game in the series and the most viewed Zelda game on the PAL market. Twilight princess features a stylized and naturalistic graphics style that is like that of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask but with a more sophisticated graphic engine. It's the first game in the series to feature a fully directional movement control scheme, instead of a fixed viewpoint like previous games. This modification was made in order to work with the Wii console's point-based interface. The GameCube version has an area at the back of the game that has mirror-image maps, which are for those who prefer a fixed view. After entering the Twilight Realm, Link is transformed into a wolf and meets Midna, an unidentified creature. She informs Link that the kingdom of Hyrule is now under the control of a group shadow beasts led the evil sorcerer Zant. She also explains she is the real ruler of Twili but was supplanted by Zant and cursed to her current form. A short cutscene shows soldiers being slain by shadow creatures when Link and Midna arrive at Hyrule Castle. Link and Midna then escape from the castle by an escape tunnel that leads to the Twilight Realm. Link can move more freely around the world in the Twilight Realm by using his wolf form. Link can also use his senses to navigate around the world. For instance, he can hear the spirits of dead soldiers and other animals that are in the distance. He can also pick grass from specific patches and whistle using it to summon an animal, such as the Hawk or Epona. Link can also howl near the patches to summon an identical animal. Twilight Princess is no different from previous Zelda titles in that music plays a significant role. Link can play instruments that are musical like the flute or harp, to attract and call on different animals. He can also control the wolf's appearance through his voice. In addition, he can use his compass to guide him through the world and stay out of trouble. Characters The Legend of Zelda series is full of colorful characters that leave a lasting impression on players. From hands emerging from toilets to pirates traversing vast oceans, these quirky and creative personalities are the heart of the game. Twilight Princess continues the tradition of previous games by introducing a wide range of memorable characters. In the course of the story, Link meets new NPCs that are not only intriguing, but also plausible. It's a huge step in the right direction that many of these NPCs actually play a role in the story rather than just being a victim. NPCs like Rusl who explains that the forest is becoming more dangerous now and kidnaps kids as well as the Ordon villager who disguises himself as a wolf while the kids are kidnapped each has their own unique personality. Other notable characters include Iza, who operates the Boat Rental Cabin and Iza's Rapid Ride in the Lanayru Province, Louise, Telma's cat, who assists Wolf Link locate a secret passageway through her bar as well as sewer system to the castle and Faron, whose spirit is the one who guides Link and Midna to the Forest Temple in the Eldin Province. The duo defeats the Fused Shadow possessed by Diababa and obtains the first Tear of Light. Midna, the princess of the Twilight Realm, is also one of the most intriguing characters in the game. She can switch between her human and wolf forms and is a part of the Triforce of Wisdom. She befriends Link and tells him about her experience in the twilight realm and how she defeated Zant, the king of Twilight. Zant, who possesses the other half of the Triforce of Wisdom, is a wicked sorcerer, ruler of the Twilight Realm. He was banished to the Twilight Realm by the goddesses for encroaching on their land and enslaving the people. Midna can dispel Zant's power allowing him to change into his human form if needed. The game also features an improved horse called Epona that can be ridden in Hylian and wolf versions. Link can whistle at specific grass patches to summon 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 an integral part of any Zelda game. It can make a game feel vast as well as expansive and thrilling. Twilight Princess' soundtrack is criticised for being inconsistent and sporadic and doesn't convey certain moments of emotion. Ocarina of Time Majora's Mask and other games have captivating compositions that explode at the right moment to create a sense of grandness and eerie. Twilight Princess was composed by Asuka Ohta and Toru Minegishi. Koji Kondo, the composer of the series for the first since Wind Waker, was in charge of overseeing the composers. The soundtrack to Twilight Princess is a radical deviation from the standard approach to the series, and features a a minimalistic approach to music and arrangements. slot demo princess x1000 and dungeon themes start with a single instrument, creating a hypnotic and mysterious atmosphere for the player. Midna's lament, for instance, uses a simple keyboard to induce a sense of sadness in the player. The themes of dungeons are the most prominent examples of this trend towards minimalism, with numerous themes featuring a dull and ominous ambience. This approach is most evident in the Twilight Realm theme, which has a soundscape that would be at home on the soundtrack of a David Lynch film. The unsettling and ominous nature of the track is enhanced by the absence of recognizable melody and traditional arrangement, with dull drones and eerie patterns interspersed to create a bleak texture. Link's hometown song, “Faron Woods,” is a more energetic and joyful song. The song makes use of various soft tones and stringed instruments to evoke an idyllic feeling of safety and peace for the player. The song is an ode to the most famous scene from the franchise, as it features an riff that is similar to the famous melody that plays at the Ocarina of Time's start. Twilight Princess also has dynamic songs that change depending on the player's location, the activity they're doing and what's taking place. Hyrule Castle Town has different versions of its theme for each part of the town. Central Square, for instance, has a more boisterous version. These variations are a nice feature that adds an atmosphere of depth and immersion to the world of Hyrule. Story Link's mission in Twilight Princess is to save Hyrule from the corrupted parallel world known as the Twilight Realm. To accomplish this, Link assumes the forms of an Hylian and the form of a Wolf and is assisted by a woman called Midna. Midna was the first ruler of Twili but she was supplanted and cursed by Zant into her imp form. Link and Midna are instructed by the Sages of the past that only defeating Ganondorf will be capable of releasing them from their curse. The Sages explain that the Mirror of Twilight causes the darkness to exist in the Twilight Realm. Midna and Link travel to the Spirit's Spring where they encounter dangerous creatures that kidnap children. Utilizing Wolf Link's keen sense of smell, they follow the scent of children to a bridge and then move into the Twilight Realm. They enter the Forest Temple, battle Diababa and obtain the first Fused Shadow. After that, Faron informs them that the next stop is the Eldin Province to the west (Wii) or east (GCN). At the Lakebed Temple in Lanayru, Midna teleports Link to a fiery rock and uses her powers to melt the ice at the bottom of Lake Hylia. The spirit of the recently deceased Zora Queen, Rutela, then appears and informs Link that he must visit the Lakebed Temple in order to access a treasure of the Zora. Returning from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, the horse Epona can again be riding in Twilight Princess. Link can select the name of the horse, a change from the predetermined names of the previous games. After arriving in the Twilight Realm, Midna and Link take back the remaining Mirror Shards. At the Palace of Twilight, the Sages declare 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 advise them that they will defeat Ganondorf when they bring him to light and break the pact between the Twilight kingdom and the Hyrule kingdom.
