Twilight Princess Game Review

The darkest and most serious of the Nintendo 3D Zelda games, Twilight Princess pushes the limits of graphic presentation to its limit 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 into a parallel dimension known as Twilight Realm, where he transforms into a 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 excellent scores in a variety of publications including 1UP CVG EGM and GamesRadar. It is widely regarded as one of the top games in the entire franchise, and it was the most-seller Zelda game on the PAL market.

Twilight princess features a stylized and naturalistic graphics style that is similar to that of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, with a much more advanced graphic engine. It's the first game in the series with a completely directional control scheme instead of a fixed viewpoint like previous games. This modification was made in order to work with the Wii console's touchscreen that is based on pointing. The GameCube version of the game comes with an area in the back with mirror-image maps for players who prefer a fixed view.

Upon entering the Twilight Realm, Link is transformed into a wolf and comes across Midna, an unidentified creature. She informs Link that the kingdom of Hyrule is being taken by a group of shadow beasts commanded by 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 killed by the shadow beasts after Link and Midna reach Hyrule Castle. Then, Link and Midna escape from the castle via a tunnel and enter 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 the world. For instance, he could sense the spirits of dead soldiers and other animals that are 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.

Like previous Zelda games music plays a significant part in Twilight Princess. Link can play instruments that are musical, such as the flute or harp, in order to attract and summon different animals. He can also use his voice to command the wolf's form. Additionally, he could use his compass to guide him around the world and stay out of trouble.

Characters

The Legend of Zelda series is filled with colorful characters that leave a lasting impression on players. These unique and imaginative characters that emerge from the toilets to pirates sailing across vast oceans are the core of this game. Twilight Princess continues in the tradition of the previous games, and introduces an array of memorable characters.

Link is introduced to new NPCs throughout the story who are not only interesting but also plausible. It's a huge improvement that so many of these NPCs aren't just there as victims, but actually are a part of the story. NPCs such as Rusl who declares that the forest is dangerous now and kidnaps kids, or the Ordon villager who disguises himself as a wolf when the children are being kidnapped all have unique personalities.

Other notable characters are Iza who manages the Boat Rental Cabin in Lanayru Province and Iza's rapid ride, Louise Telma’s cat, who aids Wolf Link find a secret passageway into the castle through her bar and sewer system, and Faron his spirit helps guide Link to the Forest Temple in Eldin Province. The duo defeats Diababa's Fused Shadow and obtains the first Tear Of Light.

Midna the princess of the Twilight Realm, is also one of the most fascinating characters in the game. She has a sliver of the Triforce of Wisdom and can switch between her human and her wolf-like impish form. She shares with Link about her experience at the twilight, and about how she defeated Zant the King of Twilight.

Zant is the evil sorcerer who controls the Twilight Realm. He possesses the second part of the Triforce of Wisdom. The goddesses banished him to Twilight Realm for enslaving their people and taking over their land. Zant's magic keeps him permantently in wolf form, however Midna eliminates the power and allows him to transform into his human form whenever needed.

Epona is an improved horse that can be riding in both wolf and Hylian forms. Link can whistle near certain patches of grass to call the animal (similar to Majora's Mask). Twilight Princess is the first game in the series where players can identify their horse.

Theme

Music is one of the most important parts of any Zelda game, and it can make the world feel vast thrilling, epic, and captivating. Twilight Princess' soundtrack is criticized as being inconsistent and intermittent, which doesn't capture certain moments of emotion. Contrarily, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask have enthralling compositions that bloom at the right moment to create a sense of grandeur and eeriness.

Toru Minegishi and Asuka Ohta were the composers for the sound design and music in Twilight Princess, with Koji Kondo managing the composers of the series for the first time since Wind Waker. The soundtrack for Twilight Princess is a bold departure from the traditional approach to the series, with an approach that is minimalist in terms of melody and arrangement. The majority of dungeon and field music starts with a single instrumental, creating a mysterious and atmospheric ambiance for the player. For example, the haunting music in Midna's Lament utilizes an ordinary piano to create an overflowing sense of sorrow for the player.

The most well-known examples are dungeon themes, that have a dark and sombre atmosphere. This is particularly evident in Twilight Realm, which has an dark soundscape that could be found in the soundtrack of a David Lynch movie. The unsettling and ominous nature of the track is amplified by the absence of identifiable melodies and the traditional arrangement with dreary drones and bizarre patterns intertwining to create a dark, gloomy texture.

Link's home-town song, "Faron Woods," is a more uplifting and joyful song. The tune makes use of various soft sounds and stringed instruments to evoke an idyllic feeling of security and peace for the player. The song also has subtle references to the franchise's most infamous scene, with the riff which is similar to the iconic tune that plays at the beginning of Ocarina of Time.

Twilight slot demo gratis starlight princess 1000x Princess, fletesrancagua.cl, also has dynamic songs that change depending on the player's location, what they do, and what is happening. For instance, the Hyrule Castle Town theme has distinct versions for each area of the town and Central Square being the most popular. Central Square having a more energetic and full version of the song. These variations add a nice touch to the world of Hyrule, adding a sense immersion and depth.

Story

The story of Twilight Princess revolves around Link trying to prevent Hyrule from being engulfed by the corrupted dimension known as the Twilight Realm. To accomplish this, Link assumes the form of an Hylian and the form of a Wolf and is aided by a woman named Midna.

Midna was the original ruler of Twili but she was supplanted and cursed by Zant to transform into her imp form. The Sages of the Old Testament tell Link and Midna that only defeating Ganondorf will be the key to their release from their curse. The Sages explain that the Mirror of Twilight causes the darkness to be present in the Twilight Realm. Midna and Link journey to the Spirit's Spring where they encounter dangerous creatures that kidnap children. Wolf Link's keen sense of smell assists them in tracking children's scent to a bridge nearby and then cross into the Twilight Realm.

They enter the Forest Temple and battle Diababa and win the first Fused Shadow. After that, Faron informs them that the next stop is Eldin Province to the west (Wii) or east (GCN).

At the Lakebed Temple in Lanayru, Midna is able to teleport Link to the fiery rock and uses her powers to melt the ice in the bottom of Lake Hylia. Rutela's spirit, who was the recently dead Zora queen, appears to Link and tells him that he needs to visit the Lakebed Temple if he wants to access the treasure of Zora.

Returning from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask The horse Epona can again be riding in Twilight Princess. In contrast to the set name used in the two previous games, Link can now decide the horse's name himself.

Midna and Link are able to recover the remaining Mirror Shards once they arrive in the Twilight Realm. In the Palace of Twilight, the Sages inform them that Midna is actually the real ruler of the Twili however she had been passed over for the monarchy and turned to an idol to gain power. The Sages inform them that they can only be defeated by Ganondorf when they bring him to light and break the pact between the Twilight kingdom and Hyrule kingdom.
