20 Amazing Quotes About Twilight Princess
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 aren't any bug-eyed pigs, nor effeminate Pirates.

starlight princess x1000 is pulled into a parallel dimension known as Twilight Realm, where he takes the form of 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 for the Nintendo GameCube and Wii systems in 2006. The game was praised by critics and gave it perfect scores in several 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 top-selling Zelda game on the PAL market.

Twilight Princess has a stylized, naturalistic graphics style similar to Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time, but with a more sophisticated graphical engine. Twilight princess is the first game in the series with a completely directional control scheme instead of a fixed-point perspective like previous games. This change was made in order to work with the Wii console, which comes with a pointing-based user interface. The GameCube version of the game features a section in the back that has mirror-image maps for players who prefer a fixed view.

After entering the Twilight Realm, Link is transformed into a wolf and meets Midna, an unidentified creature. She is able to reveal that the kingdom of Hyrule is being taken by a group of shadow beasts led by the evil sorcerer Zant. She also explains that she is the real ruler of Twili, but was usurped and cursed into her present form by Zant.

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 via a tunnel, and enter the Twilight Realm.


Link can move more freely in the Twilight Realm by using his wolf form. Link can also use his senses to navigate through the world. For instance, he can detect the spirits of deceased soldiers and other animals that are in the distance. Link can also pick grass from specific patches and whistle using it to summon an animal, like a Hawk or Epona. Or, Link can howl near these patches to summon the same animal.

Twilight Princess is no different from previous Zelda titles in that music plays a significant role. Link can play a musical instrument like the flute or the harp, to attract and summon various animals. Link can also command the wolf's form using his voice. He can also use his compass as a way to help him navigate the world.

Characters

The Legend of Zelda is full of colorful and unique characters that will leave an unforgettable impression. 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 previous games, and introduces an array of memorable characters.

In the course of the story, Link meets new NPCs that are not only intriguing, but also plausible. It is a huge step in the right direction to have many of these NPCs actually play a role in the story instead of just acting as victims. NPCs like Rusl who explains how the forest has become more dangerous and kidnaps children, or the Ordon villager who snoop around as wolves when children are being taken from them each has a distinct personality that feel authentic.

Other notable characters are Iza who manages the Boat Rental Caf in Lanayru Province and Iza's rapid ride, Louise Telma’s cat, who assists Wolf Link find a secret access point to the castle through her bar and sewer system, and Faron his spirit 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 can switch between wolf and human forms and is a part of the Triforce of Wisdom. She is friends with Link and tells him about her experience in the twilight and 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 relegated him to the Twilight Realm for enslaving their people and enslaving their territory. Zant's magic enables him to remain in wolf form, but Midna removes 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 the wolf and Hylian forms. Link can whistle near certain patches of grass to call the animal (similar to Majora's Mask). The player can identify the horse which makes Twilight Princess the first time in the series where the player can customize their own horse.

Theme

Music is among the most crucial elements of any Zelda game and can make the world feel huge thrilling, epic, and captivating. Twilight Princess' soundtrack is criticized as being sporadic and inconsistent that doesn't capture certain emotional moments. Contrarily, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are enthralling soundtracks that bloom at the right time to create a sense of majestic and eerie.

Toru Minegishi and Asuka Ohta were the composers 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 deviation from the standard approach to the series, and features a an approach that is minimalist to melody and arrangements. The majority of themes for dungeons and fields start with a single instrument, creating an atmospheric and mysterious ambiance for the player. Midna's lament, for instance, uses a simple keyboard to create a sense of sadness 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 unsettling soundscape that could be found in the soundtrack of a David Lynch movie. The ominous and unsettling nature of the track is enhanced by the lack of recognisable melody and traditional arrangement, with dreary drones and bizarre patterns interspersed to create a dark, gloomy texture.

Link's hometown song, "Faron Woods," is a more upbeat and joyful song. The tune makes use of various soft sounds and stringed instruments to create an idyllic sense of security and peace for the player. The song contains an ode to the most famous scene in the franchise since it features a melody that is reminiscent of the iconic melody that plays at Ocarina of Time's start.

There are also some exciting songs in Twilight Princess that change depending on where the player is and what they're doing, and what's going on. Hyrule Castle Town has different versions of the theme for each area of the town. Central Square, for instance, has a more raucous version. These variations are a nice feature that adds an atmosphere of depth and immersion into the world of Hyrule.

Story

Link's goal in Twilight Princess is to save Hyrule from the corrupted parallel world known as the Twilight Realm. To accomplish this, Link takes on the form of the Hylian or a Wolf and is aided by a woman named Midna.

Midna was the first ruler of Twili but she was usurped and cursed by Zant to transform into her imp form. Link and Midna are told by the Ancient Sages that only defeating Ganondorf will be able to free them 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 hostile creatures that kidnap kids. With Wolf Link's acute sense of smell, they trace the children's scent to a bridge, and then move into the Twilight Realm.

They enter the Forest Temple, battle Diababa and get the first Fused Shadow. Faron informs them of their next destination, the Eldin Province in the west (Wii), or the east (GCN).

At the Lakebed Temple in Lanayru, Midna teleports Link to an erupting rock and uses her powers to melt the ice that lies 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 is able to be used in Twilight Princess. Unlike the set name used in the two previously mentioned games, Link can now decide the name of the horse by himself.

Midna and Link can recover the remaining Mirror Shards once they arrive in the Twilight Realm. The Sages reveal to Midna that she is the true ruler of the Twili. She was a pawn over for the monarchy, and had turned to 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 the Twilight and Hyrule kingdoms.
