As Wolf Link, he will no longer have access to his shield or weapons and will rely on feral attacks as well as receiving some offensive assistance from Midna who has a devastating attack of her own. Speaking of animals, our hero will find himself physically altered into the body of a wolf when he enters the Twilight sections for large portions of the game. Players will also find other grass that can be used to call upon other animals. It may not be an ocarina but it gets the job done. Dont worry about leaving your trusty steed behind if you warp to another section, as Link can call Epona to his side simply by blowing into some grass or another implement which I wont reveal. Its quite a jaunt to go from one area to the next, which makes Epona particularly useful up until which time youll discover a way to warp between points of interest courtesy of your mysterious Twilight friend, Midna. As in previous games Hyrule Field connects the various towns, ranches and other areas. The land of Hyrule is vast and conveniently Link already owns Epona, his faithful horse companion that many will remember from Ocarina of Time (N64).

Twilight Princess is the longest game in the series and there are no shortage of cool quests to tackle and players would be well advised to sit back and enjoy the entire ride. It can feel a little overwhelming having to sift through countless text boxes especially when you know most of it is filler, but for the most part the game provides you with objectives in other forms that dont require having to chat up the town drunk. Once again our hero remains stoic and silent, aside from the odd yelp here and there, but the NPCs youll encounter can be quite chatty. If youre really stuck, Midna can always be contacted and shell give you a not so vague point in the right direction. The game often hits you over the head with text clues as to what your next objective should be. Zelda games arent generally known for their deep engrossing stories, but Twilight Princess manages to keep you interested and guessing beyond its 40+ hour mark (longer or shorter depending on if you rush or take your time)Īs Link youll have to undertake numerous quests and talk to lots of people to get clues as to what to get next. Links involvement begins purely as an act of heroism in a bid to save some children, but with each vanquished foe the mystery widens and it becomes apparent that fate wants him to play a larger role in the history of Hyrule. Soon the stage is set for adventure when the land of Hyrule is plunged into perpetual twilight. We are introduced to an older teenage Link this time around who earns his keep as a farm hand. These elements are the foundation which each Zelda adventure is built upon and half of the fun is seeing familiar faces and places completely reinvented. Some have argued that the series has become a total rehash, but ask any self-respecting Zelda fan and theyll tell you they are quite fond of the recycling of concepts, characters, weapons and even locales in the series, such as the familiar dungeon settings - Fire Temple, Water Temple, Forest Temple etc. If youve played at least two of the previous games to completion youll know what to expect, although thats not to suggest there wont be plenty of surprises along the way. While Zelda pundits could pontificate endlessly where each separate Link adventure matches up in the overall timeline of the series, I find its best to check reality at the Start screen and let your imagination take over. While its not approaching Resident Evil territory, Links latest quest is far heavier in tone than 2003s cel-shaded Wind Waker. Featuring a more mature Link than weve seen in recent years, Twilight Princess delves into darker themes with macabre overtones which earns the first Teen rating for the series. The Zelda series has always captured the imaginations of gamers both young and old with its focus on exploration and experimentation and like a gift from the gods of gaming, the latest adventure continues this wonderful time-honored tradition. Perhaps it is fitting that Twilight Princess was delivered to rabid Zelda fans in the same year the series celebrates its 20th anniversary.
