 Ever since the release of Ocarina of Time, people have been comparing every Zelda game released since to Ocarina of Time. Many critics were dissapointed in Majora's Mask and The Wind Waker because they were "not as good as Ocarina of Time". Well, it is possible that once The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is released, critics may start compairing future Zelda games to Twilight Princess instead of Ocarina of Time  Story: "Link, a young man raised as a wrangler in a rural village, is ordered by the mayor to attend the Hyrule Summit. He sets off, oblivious to the dark fate that has descended upon the kingdom. When he enters the Twilight Realm that has covered Hyrule, he transforms into a wolf and is captured. A mysterious figure named Midna helps him break free, and with the aid of her magic, they set off to free the land from the shadows. Link must explore the vast land of Hyrule and uncover the mystery behind its plunge into darkness. As he does, he’ll have to enlist the aid of friendly folk, solve puzzles and battle his way through dangerous dungeons. In the Twilight Realm, he’ll have to use his wolf abilities and Midna’s magic to bring light to the land. Besides his trusty sword and shield, Link will use his bow and arrows, fight while on horseback and use a wealth of other items, both new and old."  Features: • When Link travels to the darkened land of Hyrule, he transforms into a wolf and must scour the land with the help of a mysterious being named Midna.  • Ride into battle against troops of foul creatures, using an incredible horseback combat system, then take on massive bosses that must be seen to be believed. • Many puzzles stand between Link and the fulfillment of his quest, so players must sharpen their wits as they hunt for weapons and items. • More dugeons/temples than Ocarina of Time and the overworld is 2 to 3 times bigger than OoT's. • Takes place between Ocarina of Time and The Wind Waker. • Some orchestrated music, but the entire soundtrack isn't. • The women in the black cloak is Zelda. She wears the cloak to protect her from the effects of the Twilight Realm.  One of the biggest features Twilight Princess holds is the mounted horse battles. You will be able to fight not only regular enemies, but you will have boss battles on the horse (which you get to name yourself). This is the first Zelda game where there is boss battles outside of a dugeon or temple. How well will this work out? Quite well.  Now is this the game Zelda fans have been waiting for since Ocarina of Time? Only time will tell. Right now, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is due for a November 2005 release. Stay tuned more more updates on this title. |
