Doing this can solve some of the game's puzzles and is a good source for acquiring some extra rupees. The Two Versions Previously, all the various incarnations of Link were left-handed.

Bo reveals that he earned the Gorons' trust by defeating them in a Sumo Wrestlin' match using his Iron Boots , [37] which he gives to Link.
Link and Epona chase the monster and his minions into Hyrule Field , and a horseback battle ensues. The elder proceeds to tell him that the Goron patriarch, Darbus , has fallen victim to the dark power of another Fused Shadow. It turned him into a monster, and the elders were forced to seal him inside the mountain.
Link defeats him and acquires the Fused Shadow that possessed him. After this, Midna tells Link that the King of Twilight's name is Zant , [41] and declares that she opposes his power. Link travels north to the Twilight-covered Lanayru Province.
Link learns that Lake Hylia is facing a severe drought because no water is flowing from its source, Zora's Domain. He and Midna ascend to the throne room and discover a large number of Zoras trapped beneath the ice. Before they leave, the spirit of the Zora Queen Rutela thanks them for saving the Zoras. These individuals had mastered powerful magic and tried to control the Sacred Realm with it, but the Goddesses ordered the Spirits of Light to intervene.
Link returns to Telma's Bar in Castle Town to reunite with Ilia, but finds that she has lost her memory and is distraught over Ralis' illness. King Bulblin is revealed to have survived his fall off of the Bridge of Eldin, and Link once again battles him on the way to Kakariko, knocking him off the Great Hylian Bridge. After crossing Hyrule Field and Kakariko Gorge and evading scores of monsters along the way, the group reaches Kakariko Village.
Ralis is left in the care of Renado and the children, and Telma states that she will stay in Kakariko Village for the time being. She thanks Link for bringing her son to Kakariko Village and fulfills her promise to him by revealing the Zora Armor beneath her husband King Zora 's grave. After solving many puzzles in the dungeon, he defeats the aquatic creature Morpheel and acquires the final Fused Shadow. He takes the Fused Shadows, [55] critically injures Midna and casts a curse on Link with a Shadow Crystal that traps him in his Wolf form.
Lanayru warps the duo to Hyrule Field to save them, and tells Link to head to Hyrule Castle to meet with Princess Zelda, who should know how to break the curse that Zant placed on him. Midna weakly tells Zelda that she needs Link to save Hyrule and asks her how his curse can be broken. She concludes that Link is bound by an evil power that prevents him from transforming back into his Human form. As the duo leave Hyrule Castle, a giant magical barrier is erected around it, preventing access to the Castle.
Link and Midna travel to the Sacred Grove to retrieve the Master Sword, [62] breaking Zant's curse and allowing Link to transform between his Hylian and Wolf forms at will. However, they find that Zant had broken it into four Shards, with only one Shard currently in the Mirror's stand. With the last of their power, the Sages activated the Mirror of Twilight and banished Ganondorf to the Twilight Realm.
First, Link and Midna set out for the frigid land of Snowpeak. Telma's acquaintance, Ashei , tells Link of a creature that has been spotted in Zora's Domain and gives him a Sketch she drew of it.
Ralis recognizes the creature and remarks about the Reekfish it is holding. It gives off a Scent, prompting Link to transform into his Wolf form to sniff it. The Scent leads into Snowpeak and effectively serves as a path through the blizzard for Link. He ends up at the top of the mountain and finds the mysterious creature from Ashei's Sketch holding a large Reekfish, the source of the Scent.
The creature's name is Yeto , and he reveals that he has found a Shard of the Mirror of Twilight. Link consults Yeta, who tries to remember the location of the Key to the master bedroom. She gets the location wrong several times due to her illness, sending Link on numerous misadventures through the Ruins.
Eventually, she finally gets it right and sends Link to the room where the Bedroom Key is located. She offers to take him to the master bedroom where the Mirror Shard is located.
Eventually, Link defeats her, releasing her from the Mirror's influence. Link returns to the Sacred Grove in search of another Mirror Shard. While exploring the Temple, Link comes across an ancient item called the Dominion Rod. He uses this Rod to traverse the Temple and battle the corrupted guardian of the Mirror Shard, Armogohma. Link defeats Armogohma and acquires the Mirror Shard, but finds that the Dominion Rod's power has been drained upon leaving the Temple.
Renado summons Link to Kakariko Village and tells him that there is a chance of Ilia's memory being restored. Upon seeing it, Ilia remembers that she was confined in the Hidden Village with someone else before escaping and arriving in Castle Town.
Link finds the Hidden Village overrun by Bulblins, and quickly disposes of them. The person Ilia was imprisoned with appears and introduces herself as Impaz , the last resident of the Village. Ilia reveals that her Charm was meant to be a gift for Link before he departed from Ordon Village, and gives it to him. Ilia says that Impaz was awaiting the Heavenly Messenger who carries the Rod of the Heavens , and that she has been guarding something for this Messenger, prompting Link to return to the Hidden Village.
Shad reads the word written in the Book, but it does nothing to the statue. Shad leaves in disappointment, but the Dominion Rod's power is restored, revealing the word to be a spell that imbues the Rod with magic. Link returns to Renado's Sanctuary with all of the characters, and finds Shad there. He says the newly formed word in front of the statue, and removes the seal on it. Link moves it, and finds a broken Sky Cannon behind it. After his arrival, Link sees a Dragon flying around the City, which terrifies the local Oocca tribe.
Link defeats it and acquires the Shard, saving the Oocca in the process. The Ancient Sages reveal that Midna is the original ruler of the Twili, [98] and that she had her power suppressed by Zant, who transformed her into her current imp form. As a result, Midna was forced to flee her people. She tells Link that they are now fighting to save both worlds, and the two use the Mirror of Twilight to enter the Twilight Realm. Zant tells the duo about how he was denied the Twili's monarchy, [] and turned to a " God ," who gave him the power he needed to usurp Midna and take over as King of the Twili.
Link defeats him, and Midna regains the Fused Shadows. However, the curse that Zant placed on Midna does not break, since it was Ganondorf's magic that enabled him to curse her. After traversing through the Castle and battling scores of monsters, including a final confrontation with King Bulblin, Link and Midna reach the throne room, where Ganondorf is waiting for them with Zelda's lifeless body suspended above him. After a brief conversation, he possesses Zelda's body to battle Link.
Link manages to defeat him, and Midna uses the Fused Shadows to free Zelda from his grasp, but he transforms into Ganon to continue battling. Link repeatedly exploits Ganondorf's wound left by the Sword of the Sages long ago to defeat him. After this, the power Zelda gave to Midna to save her life returns to her, reviving the Princess.
However, Ganondorf once again transforms into his "God" form, and Midna warps Link and Zelda outside the Castle before using the Fused Shadows to fight him. The resulting battle destroys Hyrule Castle, and Ganondorf is shown to be victorious as he crushes Midna's helmet. Ganondorf and his minions charge towards Link and Zelda on horseback, but Zelda summons the four Spirits of Light, who grant her the Light Arrows.
Link and Ganondorf then battle on foot with the Master Sword and the Sword of the Sages, respectively. Eventually, Link strikes Ganondorf down and plunges the Master Sword into his chest, killing him once and for all. This releases the curse on Midna, who is revived by the Spirits of Light, restoring her to her true form. Link, Zelda and Midna return to the Mirror Chamber to say their farewells to each other. As she departs, Midna sheds a tear which shatters the Mirror of Twilight, breaking the only known gateway between Hyrule and the Twilight Realm, so that a tragedy like this doesn't happen again.
Link rides away with Epona to places unknown, equipped with only his Shield, while Ilia witnesses him leaving Ordon. At the very end, the throne room of Hyrule Castle is seen, revealing that the Castle was rebuilt. In a further departure from The Wind Waker , Link is once again a young man, as opposed to a child, as in the latter part of Ocarina of Time and in The Adventure of Link.
The game also takes on a darker tone, rivaling that of Majora's Mask. Link transforms into a Wolf when entering the Twilight , a dark shroud that has ensnared Hyrule. As a Wolf, Link is unable to use items. Instead, he resorts to abilities like dashing, biting, digging, and howling, among others. With the help of Midna , he can also warp through portals to reach far destinations instantly and create an energy field that can defeat multiple enemies simultaneously.
In addition, Link can communicate with animals in Wolf form as if they were people. During the first half of the game, Link is a Wolf only when he enters a portion of Hyrule that has fallen under the influence of the Twilight ; once there, the young hero is unable to return back to normal until he purges that cursed place by reviving the Light Spirits after collecting their Tears of Light.
The Wii version of the game is a mirror image of the GameCube version, meaning that East is West and vice-versa in the former version; this is to accommodate for most Wii players being right-handed, while Link is often left-handed. The Wii version uses the "point-and-click" feature of the Wii Remote as a " Fairy " cursor an on-screen pointer modeled to look like a fairy , for accessing menus, and for using various tools such as the Hero's Bow , Clawshot , and Fishing Rod see Weapons, items and abilities ; it uses the Nunchuk attachment analog stick for movement.
In order to swing the sword which Link uses as a weapon, the player makes a slashing motion with the Wii Remote. A jab with the tilt-sensitive Nunchuk will cause Link to perform one of his secret moves, the shield attack.
The 'B' button is used for Link's sword attacks. Tapping it once does the normal slashing motion. Pressing it two or three times allows Link to perform sword attack combos.
Holding B until Link's sword charges and makes a "ching! The C stick rotates the camera around, while the A button is for actions like talking, opening doors, and picking things up. In order to use items in the Wii version, the game allows the player to equip the items to the left, right, and down positions of the D-pad and the 'B' button of the Wii Remote using the item screen.
When an item's respective direction button is pressed, the item is switched into the 'B' button for easier use. The built-in speaker on the remote is used for sounds like the bowstring of the Hero's Bow being drawn and released, Midna's laugh, and the ever-present "Zelda chime" when discovering secrets. Link also shares similar moves between Hylian and Wolf. For example, when an enemy is on the ground, Link has the option to finish them off by plunging his sword into their chest or in Wolf form on Poes, to rip out their Souls.
With these abilities come some disadvantages. As mentioned before, Wolf Link cannot utilize any of his items, or open any doors with handles until he transforms back into a Hylian. As Link progresses on his quest, he can learn various Hidden Skills , which improve his repertoire of sword attacks, and even expose new weaknesses on strong enemies.
In addition, he also makes use of various items that appear for the first time in the game, as well as classic tools and weapons that, in one or another way, have been revamped to have secondary uses. The default name for the horse is Epona the set name of the horse from the two aforementioned games and is used as the main form of transport whilst Link is in Hylian form and until various warp points are opened around Hyrule.
For the first time, Link can use his sword in combat while riding Epona in the game. This is also the first game in which the player can decide the horse's name.

The game is meant to have a more mature atmosphere than the rest of the Zelda games , as well as significantly darker, and more rabid versions of monsters from older Zelda games.
It is also supposed to be the longest Zelda game to date, accumulating at least sixty hours of play, twice as long as Ocarina of Time , confirmed by Iwata , although many who completed the game believed this to be inaccurate.
Princess Zelda and Ganon also appear in Twilight Princess. The game's story takes place several years after the events of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. As featured in The Wind Waker , Link uses special facial expressions to inform the player and give subtle clues on how to solve certain puzzles.
For some gamers, the game still proves to be more challenging than other Zelda games preceding it, although all the bosses have been noted as remarkably easy, taking most gamers only one try to defeat. Another returning feature is the day and night system of Hyrule , consisting of not only the cycle of days but weather and atmospheric effects as well.
Motion capture is used to bring the characters alive in a realistic manner. This is most evident during cinema sequences. An early development screenshot, demonstrating Twilight Princess' realism. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. The game was first revealed at E3 when Nintendo showed a teaser trailer of their new Zelda game to a small group, resulting in outrageous uproars from the viewers. When the Zelda community found out, many fans were extremely excited.
Many were happy to see Zelda taking a mature turn, which, as opposed to the cartoony, cel-shaded art style of 's The Wind Waker , received a much warmer welcome. After ten months of silence from Nintendo , a new trailer was finally revealed at the Game Developers Conference on March 10, to an eager audience.
It was learned at the Nintendo E3 conference on May 9 that Twilight Princess would be released October 4, and would simultaneously be released on GameCube; it was later announced that, to compensate for the fact that most players would be right-handed, the Wii version would be mirrored entirely so that Link could be right handed as well.
On September 13, , it was revealed that Twilight Princess would be a launch title for the Wii and would be released on November 19, ; the GameCube version would be delayed until December of that year, and would be the final Nintendo-published game on GameCube. In Japan, the Wii and GameCube versions had a simultaneous release in early December, although the latter was only available for purchase online.
Twilight Princess features a stylized, naturalistic art style similar to, but more advanced than, that found in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask ; These graphics are displayed by use of a heavily modified version of the The Wind Waker engine. This modified version of the installment's engine makes the graphics in Twilight Princess realistic, as opposed to the cartoonish, cel-shaded design of The Wind Waker.
Overall it works pretty well, and the fact that you can fire all the ranged weapons in the game by pointing the Wiimote feels quite intuitive. Twilight Princess from an artistic standpoint is a beautiful game to look at. The vibrant land of Hyrule stands in stark contrast to the dark and very cool shadow realm.
From a technical standpoint however, Twilight Princess isn't quite as stunning as some of the other next gen titles currently out. Similarly while the music is as excellent as it's ever been in the series, it lacks some of the orchestral umph that games like Final Fantasy XII possess, not to mention the voice acting.
Largely, these are split hairs. Taken as the sum of its parts The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess , is another excellent game in an excellent series. It's hard to fault it for not moving beyond its tried and true formula when that formula has produced so many good games. This is definitely a game that new Wii owners should think about picking up.

Personal Rating Legend of Zelda is one of the greatest classic games Nintendo has produced, with every game following the intricate storyline and never missing a beat when expanding upon the universe that Link explores day after day. The first Zelda title launched in , which makes this the 35th anniversary of the series. Nintendo made a big deal of the 35 years of Super Mario , and that same type of celebration is expected for The Legend of Zelda.
Whether it be more information on the sequel to Breath of the Wild , another third-party spin-off like Hyrule Warriors , or something else exciting, many are expecting a lot from The Legend of Zelda in to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the series. If the year comes and goes and all there is to show from it is Skyward Sword HD , there will be disgruntled fans.
The sequel to Breath of the Wild , unfortunately, just may not be ready. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild broke records as one of the highest-rated video games of all time. And part of the reason it did is because it reinvented the formula in incredibly unique ways.
Players were dropped into the world and able to explore Hyrule at their own pace; in their own way. But before this, Twilight Princess may have perfected the classic 3D Zelda formula. These are things that something like Breath of the Wild does not have; for better or for worse.
