Twilight Princess Game Review

Twilight Princess is the darkest, most serious and serious Nintendo 3D Zelda game. It pushes the visual presentation of the Wii to its limits. It's darker and more threatening than The Wind Waker. There are no bug-eyed pigs or effeminate Pirates.

Link is drawn to a parallel dimension referred to as Twilight Realm where he takes the form of Hylian wolf and Hylian Wolf and a Hylian while being guided by Midna.

Gameplay

Twilight Princess is the thirteenth installment in The Legend of Zelda series. It was released for the Nintendo GameCube and Wii systems in 2006. Critics praised the game, giving it excellent scores in a variety of publications, including 1UP CVG EGM and GamesRadar. Many consider it to be the best game in the franchise and the most popular 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 graphics engine. It's the first game in the series to have a fully directional movement control system, instead of having a fixed perspective like previous games. This change was made to accommodate the Wii console's touchscreen that is based on pointing. The GameCube version of the game features a section at the back that has mirror-image maps to those who prefer the fixed view.

Upon entering the Twilight Realm, Link is transformed into a wolf, and then meets Midna, a mysterious creature. She informs Link that the kingdom of Hyrule is now under the control of a group of shadow beasts led the evil sorcerer Zant. She further explains that she is the real ruler of Twili but was taken over and cursed into her present form by Zant.

When Link and Midna arrive at Hyrule Castle, a short cut scene shows the soldiers there being killed by the shadow beasts. Then, Link and Midna escape from the castle through a tunnel, and enter the Twilight Realm.

Link can move more freely in the Twilight Realm by using his Wolf form. He can also use senses to navigate the world. He can hear the ghosts of soldiers and animals in the distance. He can also whistle and pick grass from specific patches to summon an animal such as the Hawk, Epona or other. Alternatively, Link can howl near these patches to summon the same animal.

Twilight Princess is no different from earlier Zelda titles in that music plays a major role. Link can play an instrument that is musical, such as the flute or the harp, to draw and call on different animals. He can also command the wolf's form by speaking. Additionally, he can use his compasses to guide him through the world and stay out of trouble.

Characters

The Legend of Zelda series is filled with colorful characters that leave an unforgettable impression on players. These quirky and creative personalities such as hands emerging from toilets to pirates soaring across vast oceans, are the core of this game. Twilight Princess continues in the tradition of the previous games, introducing an array of memorable characters.

Link is introduced to new NPCs throughout the story who are not only interesting, but also plausible. It is a huge step towards the right direction that many of these NPCs actually have a role in the story, rather than just being a victim. NPCs such as Rusl who explains that the forest is becoming more risky now and kidnaps children as well as the Ordon villager who disguises himself as a wolf when the children are being kidnapped all have unique personalities.

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 helps Wolf Link locate a secret passageway in her bar and sewer system that leads to 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 interesting characters in the game. She possesses a fragment of the Triforce of Wisdom and can shift between her human form and her wolf-like impish form. She talks to Link about her experience at the twilight, and about 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. The goddesses relegated him to the Twilight Realm for enslaving their people and enslaving their land. Zant's magic keeps him permanently in wolf form, however Midna dispells the power and allows him to transform into his human form as needed.

The game also includes an upgraded horse named Epona, which is ridden in Hylian and wolf versions. Link can whistle near certain areas of grass to call the animal (similar to Majora's Mask). The player can name the horse which makes Twilight Princess the first time in the series that the player can customize their own horse.

Theme

Music is one of the most important elements of any Zelda game and it can make the world feel huge exciting, epic, and thrilling. However, Twilight Princess is criticized for having an inconsistent and sporadic soundtrack that doesn't capture the emotional impact of certain moments. Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and other games have stunning compositions that explode at the right moment to create a feeling of majestic and eerie.

Twilight Demo Princess Starlight Pragmatic was composed by Asuka Ohta and Toru Minegishi. Koji Kondo, the series' composer for the first since Wind Waker, was in charge of overseeing the composers. The soundtrack for Twilight Princess is a bold departure from the traditional approach to the franchise with a minimalist approach to melody and arrangement. Most field and dungeon themes start with a single instrument, creating an eerie and mysterious atmosphere for the player. Midna's Lament, for instance utilizes a simple keyboard to create a feeling of sadness in the player.

Dungeon themes are among the most well-known examples of this trend towards minimalism, with a number of dungeons featuring a dreary and ominous atmosphere. This approach is most evident in the Twilight Realm theme, which has a sonic landscape that would fit in the soundtrack of a David Lynch film. The dark and unsettling quality of the track is amplified by the absence of recognizable melodies and traditional arrangement, with dreary drones and peculiar patterns intertwining to create a bleak texture.

A more uplifting and joyous track is Link's hometown theme, "Faron Woods." The song makes use of various soft sounds and stringed instruments that create an idyllic feeling of peace and safety for the player. The song also includes a subtle reference to the franchise's most well-known scene, with the riff which is like the iconic tune that plays at the beginning of Ocarina of Time.

Twilight Princess also has dynamic songs that change based on the player's location, what they do and what's happening. For example the Hyrule Castle Town theme has distinct versions for each area of the town with Central Square having a more lively and full version of the song. These variations are a nice touch that helps to add a sense of immersion and depth to the world of Hyrule.

Story

Link's quest in Twilight starlight princess slot online is to save Hyrule from the corrupted parallel universe known as the Twilight Realm. To achieve this, Link adopts the form of a Hylian or a Wolf and is assisted by a woman called Midna.

Midna is the original ruler of the Twili However, she was supplanted by Zant and cursed into her imp form. The Ancient Sages tell Link and Midna that only defeating Ganondorf can remove them from their curse. The Sages reveal that the Mirror of Twilight causes the darkness to be present in the Twilight Realm. Midna and Link travel to the Spirit's Spring, where they encounter hostile monsters that kidnap children. Utilizing Wolf Link's sharp sense of smell, they trace the scent of children to a bridge, and then cross into the Twilight Realm.

They enter the Forest Temple, battle Diababa and obtain the first Fused Shadow. After this, Faron informs them that the next stop is 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 power to melt the ice at the bottom of Lake Hylia. The spirit of Rutela, the recently deceased Zora Queen, Rutela, then appears and informs Link that he has to visit the Lakebed Temple in order to access a treasure of 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. The Sages inform Midna that she is the true ruler of the Twili. She was passed over for the monarchy, and was turned into a power-hungry god. The Sages also tell them that the only way to defeat Ganondorf is to bring him back to the light and break the pact between Twilight and Hyrule kingdoms.
