Official LoZ: Twilight Princess Topic

Well go ahead guys what do you think so far about the game?

[slavemaster]

I would like to bring your attention to the new Zelda game being released later this year in America...The game that was unveiled at last years E3 (Biggest gaming convention of the year), and whose name was revealed later this year. I am talking about of course the Twilight Princess...

This game, as is commonly known, is utilising modified versions of the Windwaker graphics and battle engines, as well as bringing on some of its own things that are completely new. The game in itself is relatively secretive...Nintendo have done quite a good job on keeping infomation from slipping away to the public. So far we know in a nutshell that (and please realise there are some MAJOR spoilers here):

-This game WILL be on the GameCube, not the Nintendo Revolution, and is planned to be released in Q4 this year.

-Link is a "werewolf" of a kind. Whenever Link travels into the "Twilight Relm" he turns into a wolf to the best of our knowledge. This is similar to him turning into a rabbit in aLttP, except as a wolf he can fight.

-Basic storyline so far, according to Nintendo.com: 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.

-The Twilight Relm makes animate objects change form eg Link turns into a wolf when he enters the Twilight Relm.

-Midna is originally an enemy of Links but ends up freeing him from his imprisonment and helping him out by riding on his back in his wolf form and using her magic. Midna also has a form outside the Twilight Zone, but there are only rumours flying around of what she could be. Everything from the Master Sword to Links shadow have been thrown around forums for an eternity.

-This game takes place in Hyrule.

-Link's horse is very important for the game, and has no set name as of yet.

-The hooded person in the trailer is Zelda.

-Gorons *Insert yell of joy here* will be making their return in this game.

-Link is 16 years of age and even though he may age a little bit throughout the game, there is no time travel involved.

-Link now carries objects on his shoulder rather than painstakingly above his head.

-Link can now Hit enemies with his shield.

-Enemies shields can be shattered (Hence the quote "sheilds will shatter" in the first trailer)

-Link can use his sword amongst multiple other items whilst riding his horse.

-For now it is only known that Link may ride enemies boars, but there may be other animals you can ride.

-Links movements are more accurate when he gets hurt eg When struck by a sword on his left he'll bend to the right.

-Link can once again dive in water.

-Link has a downwards thrust that may be used as a finishing move in the game.

-Link can also do a running slash.

-There is going to be utitlisation of different lightings for both the Twilight Relm and average day Hyrule (As if that wasn't obvious...), but it is yet to be revealed whether or not different weathers will be used throughout the game.

-The camera is apparently meant to take set positions in dungeons until you encounter and enemy where it will take position behind you. It is expected to be able to be controlled by the C-Stick, but this is yet to be varified and is only a hypothesis guided by Nintendo as to the camera's control.

-It is simply expected that Ninendo will use the same control system as the WW, as it was a simple and effective control scheme. A few exceptions are apparent though, as the R-Button is used, aswell as defending with your shield, to fire bomb arrows, the B-Button can be used to hit an enemy with your shield if you're defending and the A-Button can be used in combat as the downward-stab talked about in my previous post.

-It is expected that Links ability to pick up enemies weapons from the WW will return as a feature in this game.

-The engine used for this is exactly what the nOObs who think WW is "Kiddy" and OoT is a "Real Zelda Game" tried to get away from - A heavily modified version of the Windwaker engine. Sorry to dissapoint anyone if I just did.

-So far the item list is this:

~Bombs (Same as before)
~Bow and Arrow (Same again...)
~Bottles (The usual)
~Red Potion (Yay RECOVERY!!)
~Lantern (Lights dark areas...Just like the one in aLttP!! Also, you cannot use the sword whilst handling this item...)
~Lantern Oil (Is burned by the Lantern to make light obviously...)
~Gale Boomerang (Makes whirlwinds when charged, and also locks on like the boomerang in WW)
~Bomb Arrows (Basically an arrow that goes BOOM!!)

-No magic or magic meter has yet been seen in any of the trailers...So its viable that Link may obtain magic later in the game, but to the best of our knowledge, this Zelda may be magicless!!

-This may not come as a welcome thing to some WW haters...But the boats back. You gain a canoe ingame at some stage, but from it you can do something that was impossible in WW...But possible in OoT. Fishing is back!!

-Wolf-Link attacks by simply holding the B-Button and watching a red circle appear around your opponents...Midna will mark off the opponents and you will be let loose to destroy them all!!


...Thats what I think of the game :P :P :P
