Twilight Princess Game ReviewTwilight Princess is the darkest, most serious and most serious Nintendo 3D Zelda game. It pushes graphical presentation 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 pulled into a parallel dimension called Twilight Realm, where he transforms into a Hylian and a wolf, while being guided by Midna.GameplayTwilight Princess is the thirteenth installment in The Legend of Zelda series. It was released for Nintendo GameCube and Wii systems in 2006. The game was praised by critics, giving it perfect scores in various publications including 1UP CVG EGM and GamesRadar. It is considered by many as the best games in the series, and it was the highest-selling Zelda game on the PAL market.Twilight princess features an artistic and naturalistic graphic style that is like that of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, with a much more advanced graphic engine. It is the first in the series with a fully directional control scheme instead of a fixed viewpoint as in previous games. This modification was made to work with the Wii console, which features an interface based on pointing. The GameCube version of the game has a section at the back that contains mirror-image maps for players who prefer the traditional fixed view.Link transforms into a wolf when he enters the Twilight Realm. He also encounters Midna, a mysterious creature. She informs Link that the kingdom of Hyrule is now under the control of a group shadow beasts that are led by the evil sorcerer Zant. She further explains that she is the real ruler of Twili, but was usurped and cursed into her present form by Zant.A short cutscene shows soldiers being slain by shadow beasts when Link and Midna reach Hyrule Castle. Then, Link and Midna escape from the castle via an escape tunnel and enter the Twilight Realm.Link can move more freely around the world in the Twilight Realm by using his Wolf form. He can also use senses to navigate around the world. For example, he can detect the spirits of deceased soldiers and other animals in the distance. He can also whistle and pick grass from specific patches to summon an animal such as an Hawk, Epona or other. Link can also whistle near the patches to summon an identical animal.As with earlier Zelda games music plays a major role in Twilight Princess. Link can play a musical instrument like the flute or harp, to draw and call upon different animals. Link can also control the wolf's appearance using his voice. Additionally, he can use his compasses to guide him through the world and keep him from getting lost.CharactersThe Legend of Zelda series is filled with colorful characters that leave a lasting impression on players. From hands emerging from toilets to pirates traversing vast oceans, these unique and imaginative characters are the essence of the game. demo princess slot continues in the tradition of previous games, and introduces many memorable characters.Link is introduced to new NPCs throughout the story who are not only interesting but also credible. It's a huge leap forward that a lot of these NPCs aren't just there as victims, but actually play a role in the story. NPCs like Rusl who declares that the forest is becoming more risky now and kidnaps children or the Ordon villager who disguises himself as a wolf to hide his identity when the kids are kidnapped all have distinct personalities.Other notable characters are Iza who runs the Boat Rental Cabin in Lanayru Province and Iza's rapid ride, Louise Telma’s cat, who helps Wolf Link find a secret access point to the castle through her bar and sewer system, as well as Faron his spirit is the one who guides Link to the Forest Temple in Eldin Province. The two team members defeat Diababa's Fused Shadow 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 is able to switch between wolf and human forms and is a part of the Triforce of Wisdom. She shares with Link about her experience at the twilight, and about how she defeated Zant the King of Twilight.Zant who is the other part of the Triforce of Wisdom, is a wicked sorcerer, the ruler of the Twilight Realm. The goddesses relegated him to the Twilight Realm for enslaving their people and taking over their territory. Zant's magic keeps him permantently in wolf form, but Midna eliminates the power and allows him to transform into his human form whenever needed.Epona is a more powerful horse that can be riding in both wolf and Hylian forms. Link can whistle near certain areas of grass to call the animal (similar to Majora's Mask). The player can identify the horse, making Twilight Princess the first time in the series that a player can customize their own horse.ThemeMusic is among the most crucial elements of any Zelda game, and it can make a world feel expansive, epic, and engrossing. However, Twilight Princess is criticized for its erratic and inconsistent soundtrack that fails to capture the emotional impact of certain scenes. Ocarina of Time Majora's Mask and other games have captivating compositions that explode at the right moment to create a feeling of majestic and eerie.Toru Minegishi and Asuka Ohta were responsible for the music and sound design in Twilight Princess, with Koji Kondo as the composer in charge for the first time since Wind Waker. The soundtrack to Twilight Princess is a radical departure from the usual approach to the series, with a minimalistic approach to melody and arrangements. The majority of music from dungeons and fields begins with a single instrumental creating a mystical and atmospheric atmosphere for the player. Midna's Lament, for example utilizes a simple keyboard to create a sense of sadness for the player.The most popular examples are dungeon themes, that have a dark and sombre atmosphere. This is evident in the Twilight Realm theme, which features a soundscape that could be at home on a David Lynch film. The dark and unsettling quality of this track is accentuated by the lack of recognisable melodies and traditional arrangement, with dull drones and eerie patterns interspersed to create a dark and bleak sound.Link's hometown song, "Faron Woods," is a more upbeat and joyful song. This song employs a variety of gentle sounds and strings to create a calm and safe feeling for the player. The song also has an enigmatic reference to the franchise's most infamous scene, as it features an riff that is similar to the iconic tune that is played 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 taking place. For example, the Hyrule Castle Town theme has various versions for each part of the town with Central Square having a more energetic and full version of the song. These variations are a great touch that helps to add an atmosphere of immersion and depth to the world of Hyrule.StoryThe story of Twilight Princess revolves around Link trying to prevent Hyrule from being engulfed by the corrupted parallel dimension referred to as the Twilight Realm. To accomplish this, Link adopts the forms of a Hylian, as well as a Wolf and is assisted by a woman named Midna.Midna is the original ruler of the Twili However, she was supplanted by Zant and cursed into her imp form. Link and Midna are informed by the Sages of the Old Testament that only by defeating Ganondorf will be able to free them from their curse. The Sages then 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 creatures that kidnap kids. Using Wolf Link's sharp 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. Following this, Faron informs them that the next stop is Eldin Province to the west (Wii) or east (GCN).Midna at the Lakebed Temple of Lanayru teleports Link to a fiery stone and uses her powers on the ice below Lake Hylia. The spirit of the recently deceased Zora Queen, Rutela, then appears and tells 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 is able to be riding in Twilight Princess. Unlike the set name used in the two aforementioned games, Link can now decide the name of the horse by himself.Midna and Link can retrieve the remaining Mirror Shards once they arrive in the Twilight Realm. In the Palace of Twilight, the Sages reveal that Midna is actually the true ruler of the Twili, but she had been overlooked by the monarchy and turned to the gods to gain power.
