Link’s journeys, reinvented
Hailed by many as the best Zelda game since 1998′s Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess
thrusts players into a troubled world ravaged by a dangerous magic.
Sporting a new, more realistic visual style than the previous Zelda
title, Link looks much more like an adult than in previous installments
and fits well into an environment that provides Zelda fans with a much
more gritty and grim environment to explore. The entirety of the quest
fits this darker mood, as both Link and NPC’s alike share the same
concern for the changes about in Hyrule.
More than just a spiritual successor to previous Zelda installments, Twilight Princess
offers players a new way of controlling Link through dungeons, forests,
towns, and the bizarre Twilight Realm: precise weapon controls with the
Wii remote! Players can use the remote to control Links’ weapons
including the sword, arrows, and boomerang. This new control scheme
allows for much faster and more accurate control than on previous
Nintendo hardware. For example, waving the remote in the air will
result in Link performing the same move with the sword. To fire off on
arrow, players “pull back” on a virtual controller string as the Wii
remote’s speaker lets players know that the projectile is ready for
release. It all works incredibly well and adds to the title’s immersion
and style- you feel more in the center of the action than in previous
Zelda games.
As impressive as the new control scheme is, the
scope and size of the new land of the Hyrule is equally as impressive-
truly the Wii’s first epic adventure. Beautifully crafted and four
years in the making, the land players travel through is vast and
diverse as the dungeons and monsters that lie within. As players
collect triforce pieces from the distant sections of the continent,
they will get to know many different villages and foes. Thankfully,
Link will be able to move over long stretches of land faster thanks to
“Epona,” your faithful horse. Epona also helps Link become a more
effective fighter, as a number of powerful and impressive sword strikes
can be launched while galloping through fields of enemies.
The Twilight Realm awaits
Like most games in the Zelda franchise, Link begins his adventure with
little more than the clothes he has on an an inkling that something has
gone awry. After an initial trip to the Twilight Realm, in which Link
appears as a wolf, a friendly shadow dweller named Midna will meet up
with players and give helpful advice on gameplay. Fortunately for
players, this virtual assistant spells out ways to be a more effective
adventurer in and out of the shadow world. Early stages of the game
have Link spending a lot of time in the Twilight Realm, and outdoor
areas of Hyrule, attempting to clear areas of the strange darkness that
has seemingly fallen over every village, forest, and field. As the
story progresses, players will learn the cause of the shadows, and what
they must to do vanquish them for good.
Puzzling puzzles
Link once again finds himself in a number of classic Zelda-esque puzzle
scenarios in which he must light torches to unlock doors, raise and
lower water levels, and fight enemies to collect keys and open chests
for valuable rupees. A number of the dungeons present unique puzzle
challenges that rely on the player’s ability to hone their Wii remote’s
control, such as an air castle in the sky that can only be accessed by
an extremely accurate grappling hook toss.
In general, Twilight Princess
is more challenging than the average Zelda game, with a number of boss
battles having protracted hit sequences with little support potions
about, and even less warning. Still, there’s never been an adventure
experience such as this, wherein players can literally charge at a
dungeon boss with their fists and punch the air to defeat an enormous
foe. As the finest Zelda experience in almost ten years and the game
fans have been waiting for, Twilight Princess will delight young and old gamers alike.
