Description<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The evil Zant has invaded Hyrule and taken control of the castle using dark magic in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Link, a simple villager living in Ordon, gets caught up in an adventure when the forces of darkness kidnap one of his friends along with the children of the village. He suddenly finds himself imprisoned in a strange twilight realm where he takes the form of a wolf. With the help of a mysterious being named Midna, Link manages to escape. Now he must recover three ancient artifacts to dispel the twilight and restore peace to Hyrule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a Legend of Zelda title, Twilight Princess largely focuses on exploring dungeons, solving puzzles, and battling monsters. Hyrule is a complex game world filled with shops, hidden items, and secrets to investigate. Link will find Heart Pieces that give him extra life every time he collects five of them, collectible insects, and famous weapons from the series such as the bow and boomerang. There are also quite a few mini-games to play. These games award the player with Rupees and special items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Players will need to use the tools given to them along with their wits to find their way through maze-like dungeons and to unlock the secrets of Hyrule. Every major dungeon has a special treasure as well as a powerful boss guarding it. Slaying the boss will reward Link with one of the artifacts he seeks as well as an extra Heart, which boosts his life meter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he travels Hyrule, Link will learn a variety of sword skills from a legendary hero. To learn new skills, Link must first locate one of several singing stones that teach him a tune which can be played to summon a spirit wolf. These stones are hidden in twilight areas and Link can only use them while in wolf form. After summoning the wolf, he must then go to one of several locations where the ancient hero will instruct him on how to use new sword techniques as a human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Epona, Link’s horse, features heavily into the overworld gameplay. Link can call Epona using special reeds scattered around the map. While on horseback, Link can leap over certain obstacles, run enemies down, and use a variety of weapons including the sword. Epona can also dash to rapidly travel over long distances. However, Epona will refuse to enter caves and other indoor areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Link’s wolf form is one of the more novel contributions Twilight Princess makes to the series. Entering zones shrouded in twilight will cause Link to transform into a wolf until he restores the power of the light spirit who controls each realm. In wolf form, Link can dash at high speed, attack with his fangs, and leap long distances with the help of Midna who guides him through the twilight. Link’s wolf senses, which allow him to detect treasures as well as hidden creatures, also play a large role in the twilight sequences. While Link gains a variety of powers in wolf mode, he loses the ability to use his sword and tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is about forty hours long. Players can save their progress at any time using a GameCube memory card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
