Advertisement: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is the thirteenth game in The Legend of Zelda series, released in 2006.
However, Midna cares nothing for the fate of Hyrule.During the quest to assemble this weapon, it is discovered that the Twili are a race of beings whose ancestors were banished to the Twilight Realm by the Gods of Hyrule ( Din, Farore, and Nayru). She explains that Zant, a member of a race known as the Twili, is trying to merge the Twilight Realm and Hyrule to make them into one land of darkness (Zant's Invasion of Hyrule).In order to defeat Zant, Midna is searching for a sacred weapon called the Fused Shadows that she can use to defeat Zant and save the Twilight Realm. An imp-like creature named Midna helped him escape from his cell, and the two joined forces.Link and Midna travel through the castle until they meet another one of its prisoners - Princess Zelda herself. Ilia and Colin were kidnapped, and Link was knocked unconscious.Upon awakening, he pursued them, only to be sucked into the Twilight Realm, transforming into a wolf, and imprisoned in a castle. He was asked by Rusl, the village's blacksmith and swordsman, to deliver the Ordon Sword and Shield to Hyrule Castle.Paul Kwon is a concept artist at Riot Games, and when hes not busy creating League of Legends champions and skins, he creates fan-art of other video game characterslike this superb piece, featuring Midnas both forms from The Legend of Zelda: TwilightBefore he could begin his journey, Link, the mayor's daughter Ilia, and Rusl's son Colin were ambushed by a group of monsters. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is a 2006 action-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo for the GameCube and Wii home video game consoles.Originally planned for release exclusively on the GameCube in November 2005, Twilight Princess was delayed by Nintendo to allow its developers to refine the game, add more content, and port it to the Wii.The game begins with Link living in Ordon Village, working as a ranch hand.
Zant leaves, and Link hurries Midna back to Hyrule Castle to seek aid from Princess Zelda.At Hyrule Castle, Princess Zelda, reveals that the only way Link can return back to his normal form is to find the Blade of Evil's bane, otherwise known as the Master Sword. Just as it seems as if Link finally has the upper hand, Zant appears, curses Link to be trapped in his wolf form, and Midna is exposed to the spirit Lanayru's light and is mortally wounded. The goddesses created the Mirror of Twilight, a device to banish beings into the Twilight Realm (though it can also be used to enter the realm normally).After many trials, Link and Midna re-assemble the Fused Shadow.
Only one fragment of the Mirror of Twilight is present. However, when Link and Midna reach the Mirror, Zant had already broken it into four fragments. Midna and Link then venture deep into the Sacred Grove and obtain the Master Sword.Midna explains that the only way to save Hyrule and stop Zant now is to find the Mirror of Twilight and use it to confront Zant with the Master Sword.
When they assembled the mirror, the story of how Midna found Link in the first place, and the fact that she's the Twilight Princess, is exposed. The duo then set off to find the remaining fragments of the Mirror of Twilight.Link and Midna venture out and recover the fragments of the Mirror of Twilight, reconstruct the Mirror, and use it to warp to the Twilight Realm, where Zant rules in the Palace of Twilight. The Sages reveal that only the true Ruler of the Twili could destroy the Mirror of Twilight and that Zant was only powerful enough to break it in four.
Link wins the battle, and Midna then uses the Fused Shadow to purge Zelda of Ganondorf. Ganondorf possesses Princess Zelda's body and fights Link. The castle is engulfed by a barrier erected by Zant, and Midna uses the sacred Fused Shadow weapon to break it.The duo infiltrates Hyrule Castle and reaches the top throne room to find Ganondorf sitting on the throne, and Zelda's lifeless body suspended above him. Link then leaves and returns to Hyrule to save Zelda. Midna uses but a small fraction of her newly gained power from her ancestors to kill him (see above, Ganondorf revives him). It is revealed that Midna is the true Twilight Princess, and was overthrown by Zant and turned into an imp using Ganondorf's power.Link defeats Zant, but Zant remains alive as long as Ganondorf lives, his power will keep Zant alive.
He crushes it and charges with his phantom riders.Ganondorf is about to slay Link and Zelda when the Princess uses her divine power to summon the light spirits. They then see Ganondorf on horseback, holding Midna's helmet — he has defeated her. Midna warps Link and Zelda to safety in Hyrule Field and then tries to destroy Ganon using the Fused Shadow.As Link and Zelda appear in Hyrule Field, they turn to Hyrule Castle and see a giant explosion emanating from it. Before the trio can celebrate, Ganondorf's soul appears. Link slays the beast, and Midna unwittingly returns Zelda's soul to her body.
Now that Zant is apparently dead, his curse on Midna using Ganondorf's power has been lifted, and Midna regains her true form. (with the Ending Blow).As this happens, Zant suddenly snaps his neck — Zant's death reveals that Ganondorf has finally died. In the end, Link runs Ganondorf through with the Master Sword. Ultimately, Ganondorf falls in battle, only to rise one last time to challenge Link to a one-on-one sword duel.
In all, there are nine main dungeons, each one containing a new item, a mid-boss, and a final boss. Its maturity has been considerably increased in terms of graphics and controls, not to mention its intriguing plot and characters.The enormity of Hyrule almost dwarfs that of the previous games. This has left speculation that a sequel could be in order, with Link perhaps pursuing a way to reach Midna in a somewhat similar vein to Ocarina Link going to look for Navi at the beginning of Majora's Mask.Link is controlled in a similar fashion to the previous entries in the series, namely Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and The Wind Waker. What will become of Link now that his adventure is over remains unknown, but in the end of the credits Fado is seen shouting up to the window in Link's house, and Ilia is waiting near the connecting passage to Ordon Spring.It is debated whether or not Link is riding away from Ordon at the end of the credits, but after closer examination, he appears to be in fact riding away.
He is also able to jump long distances while Midna is on his back. Some of the special features that wolf Link can perform that is human form cannot is his ability to go into his sense mode, which will allow him to find ghosts, people from the light world that are stuck in the twilight, his ability to dig to find secrets and to get into certain previously inaccessible areas.While Midna is on his back, Link is able to use dark energy, which will form a large circle that will kill any enemies that are within the force field. This wolf is very powerful and can move rather fast as well (though not as fast as Epona). Link will move slowly when his rupees are depleted.One of the more notable features in the fact that once Link enters the twilight world, he will turn into a wolf.
A fairy acts as a cursor when Link is not using any items.The GameCube's version is very similar to the scheme featured in Wind Waker. The remote is used to fish also. To aim while using certain items, point using the Wii Remote, and attack by pressing the B button trigger. Combining button and motion techniques performs special attacks. The analog stick moves Link while the remote swings the sword. It uses both controllers, the Wii Remote and the Nunchuck attachment.
