The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

An action adventure upcoming game developed by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development and published by Nintendo for the Wii game consoles as part of critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda video game series. It was originally planned to release in November 2005, but it was delayed by Nintendo so that the staff could add more content and refine the game. The Wii version was released on the dates of the Wii launch, in November and December 2006. This makes Twilight Princess the first Zelda game to debut at the launch of Wii console. The Legend of Zelda is very popular among all Nintendo subscribers and users. I consider it a 'legend' myself because almost in all Nintendo consoles, there is a Legend of Zelda game published on it.

The story of the game focuses on Link as he tries to prevent the Twilight Realm from engulfing Hyrule as both a human and a wolf with the help of a mysterious creature named Midna. It takes place many years after Majora's Mask, on the timeline that is created after the events of Ocarina of Time.

Gameplay

In Twilight Princess, Link shares similar moves between human 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, in wolf form, he can do this to foes to rip out their souls. Link can communicate with animals in wolf form as if they were people. When transformed into a wolf, Link's sense of smell is improved, allowing him to follow trails left by certain characters in the in the game. However, Link cannot use any of his items, open any doors with handles and climb ladders, and will take double damage from enemies in wolf form.

With an interesting gameplay and characters, I just can't wait to get my hands on this game. Now, to all Legend of Zelda players out there, this is one of the latest games released by Nintendo that is going to be very exciting and a must have game by all players. Featuring the original characters in all Legend of Zelda games and awesome new techniques and skills by Link. Its fantastic 3D graphics that everyone must see.
