the legend of zelda twilight princess review
Hey guys Ender44 here, talking about one of my favorite Zelda games of all time, the legend of Zelda twilight princess. This was the last game ever made for the Nintendo gamecube and was also moved to the next generation console, the Nintendo wii. This game has received mixed reviews, some bad ones from people who preferred cell shaded games, some fantastic reviews from people who loved the realistic graphic style. And mixed reviews from those who preferred happy games, and those who preferred darker games. This game brought back many songs from the legend of Zelda majoras mask, and brought back the concept of a lantern to light the way, which was used in the original NES and SNES Zelda games. This game used a realistic graphic style which was a favorite to many fans although Nintendo used cell shading for the next Zelda game skyward sword. This game also made use of a darker storyline, which was another favorite among fans, although some people believed the game tried too hard to be dark, and didn't tug at the heart strings as seamlessly as majoras mask did. This game also introduced new items like the ball and chain, dominion rod, and spinner. Lets get to the review.

Graphics- The legend of Zelda twilight princess used a realistic graphics engine for the first time which caused stunning visuals, intimidating enemies, and an overall pretty environment. Not that graphics make a game, but the graphics are one of the reasons this game is a favorite of mine. This game used the exact same graphics as its wii counter-part, so seeing as it had good enough graphics to be a next-Gen game, that means it had fantastic graphics for a gameube game.These new graphics also allowed Nintendo to make some changes to our favorite character link, giving him a new looking tunic, making Zelda look mire like a princess and even more like a sage(which she actually isn't in this game) and just all around made ganondorf look awesome- and kind of scary.

Sound-
The music of this game is something to cry about. Koji Kondo is an incredibly talented person, and the music suits this game so well. Every song you hear screams Zelda and makes you want to go back to that place to hear it again. If you don't believe me, feel free to search "Midnas desperate hour" "Sacred grove theme" "twilight princess opening" or "twilight princess main theme" on youtube, you will be blown away.

Addictiveness-I spent hour's playing this game. I can honestly say that I enjoyed it more than ocarina of time, and I'm planning on playing it again once I finish wind waker. This game is an incredibly fun experience and you will see what I mean if you decide to play it.

Story- (spoilers of the beginning) You start the game out as link, or ender, or whoever you name that one guy. Link is a humble farm boy who lives in the quiet town of faron, named after the golden goddess Forore. Soon though things begin to change. Darkness begins to engulf hyrule and black beasts kidnap all of the children in Faron. Link though, remains. He finds that when in twilight, every one turns into spirits, except for him. Link is a sacred boy, who is the only hylian that can survive in twilight. When link is in twilight, he is a sacred wolf. Link then meets midna, a strange creature who guides him out of the prison he was put in. Link and midna then realize that to restore light to hyrule, link, as a wolf must gather tears of light to restore the light that was taken form the light spirits by Zant, an evil wizard. After restoring light to a light spirit, link goes through a dungeon to find a fused shadow an enigmatic object that midna is looking for. Link, after gathering 3 fused shadows, realizes they contain an evil power, which is held by the descendants of evil wizard. Midna, is one of these descendants. That was basically a summary of the first three dungeons, written by yours truly. If that didn't get you hooked on the game, I'm not sure what will. Maybe you'll have to ply through the rest.

Depth- There is so much to do in this game. There are over 10 dungeons. 45 pieces of heart. Golden bugs to collect, which are all over hyrule. Hidden skills you can learn, which the teacher of them is hidden and you must find him in wolf form. Poe souls, which are scattered all around hyrule, only seen at night, and can only be killed in wolf form. Yeah there is a lot to do.

Difficulty- This isn't really the games fault. But Zelda games have gotten easier over the years, not saying that this game is easy, but it is easier, some of the puzzles are fairly obvious while some require some serious thought or *cough *cough a walkthrough *cough *cough.

Gameplay- I'm adding this about a month after this review was done and will be adding it to any future reviews I do. This game has very intuitive gameplay that I really enjoyed using. As a kid, ocarina of time's Z-targeting made me feel enough like a ninja, but twilight princess brought this to a whole new level. This game uses a system of L targeting (at least if you are playing the gamecube version) that allows you to keep track of your enemy and shoot with more accuracy. Also, while using this system, you can use combinations of buttons to perform complex moves known as hidden skills. By the way, hyrule historia has confirmed that the heroes' shade that teaches you these skills is actually the link from OOT.

So overall, you should play this game, its a fantastic game and it is definitely something the Zelda team should base off of. Give it a try.

Ender44 signing off.

Twilight Princess is the first Legend of Zelda game for the Wii and also the last for GameCube. At first Link is a simple farm boy, whose tasks consist of herding goats to watching children in Ordon village, Link's home town. One day, Link is asked by the mayor to run an errand in Castle Town, but things sudden go wrong

The land becomes dark, and strange creatures appear from another world called the Twilight Realm, which turns most into ghosts. Link, however, becomes a wolf. After becoming a wolf, Link is aided by Midna, a resident of the Twilight Realm. Midna helps Link find a way to turn human again along with other tasks.

The wolf cannot use a sword or other items. Instead, Link must use his senses to solve puzzles and get past obstacles. The beast can also dig holes to find hearts and rupees and to get in places. He can push blocks with his head to climb higher or reveal hidden passageways. Additionally, he can attack enemies by biting or pouncing on them.

As a human, Link can move around quickly, aim his bow, swing his sword, and even fish. Link also collects many different items, which allow him to perform varied attacks and reach places he couldn't before. Link performs many attacks with his sword and can even learn other sword moves.

The art is similar to the naturalistic style of Ocarina of Time, rather than the cel-shaded look of The Wind Waker. Chronologically, the game takes place between the two aforementioned titles and quite a few locations from Ocarina of Time can be visited. The main adventure takes place in several provinces with dungeons and temples. With the help of Midna, you can easily travel around quickly later in the game.

The game requires 5 rupees a play and you win 10 rupees for each round, and the frog lure for the eighth. (If you run short before you manage to get the lure, mowing the tall grass just outside (still in the fishing hole area) offers around 60 rupees.)

Lure description: The must-have lure for bass.

Sinker Lure

To obtain the Sinker Lure you must first catch a Hylain Pike, Hyrule Bass, and a Ordon Catfish in the fishing hole area with the lure rod. After you have caught one of each you go to the south east corner of the water closest to the house and take out your Fishing Rod(bobber) with the coral earring hook. After that you will catch the Sinker Lure. Make sure Hena doesn't see you use it or she will take it away.

Unlock Special-Edition Rollgoal

If you visit the Fishing Hole in Upper Zora's River, there's a mini game Hena will let you play for 5 Rupees called Rollgoal. If you make it past 1-8, you'll be rewarded with the Frog Lure. However, if you keep going and beat the entire thing, up to and including 8-8, you'll be able to play the special-edition version of Rollgoal. You can choose any level, the cost is free, the time limit is raised to 4:00:00, and you cannot win any Rupees. Also, as an added bonus, once you beat 8-8, Hena will fill your wallet completely!

 The introduction of Link's wolf form is really what makes this game special. I'd rate this a 9.5/10! PS: Wolves are my favourite animal, so I had to restrain a bit on the points I gave the game. I based myself on the story and Link's game-play fluidit
