You'll use the Nunchuck's analog stick to move while doing all sorts of actions with the other buttons, specially the ones on the Wiimote.Ĭontrols were implemented in a pretty good way, and the camera buttons will ease your task, so there won't be any camera angle problems, like those we had while playing Playstation 2 games.
Being a single-player game, you'll use a Wiimote and a Nunchuk to get around the huge world of Hyrule and the Twilight Realm. As this was my first Wii game, I had to adjust to the controls and I have to mention that this happened pretty fast, thanks to the fact that they are extremely intuitive. The currency in this game is the rupee and it puzzled me to see that there are more Hindus culture references in the game: the dot on the forehead of some characters or the swimming style. Things have changed drastically and Mister Link will have a lot more things to do than collect coins. The original Zelda games were platforming productions that required you to collect coins and all sorts of pickups while hopping all over the place. Link's companions will be Midna, a shadow creature that turned against the Shadow king and Epona, his horse (every Prince Charming must have a horse, or at least a pony). You'll be transported to the Twilight Realm and back all the time, and have the chance to navigate between those two universes in an attempt to defeat the shadows and rescue Princess Zelda. Pardon my enthusiasm, but what makes you become addicted to Link's adventures is not the story itself, but the way it's told. Their sole purpose is to steal the "lights" or souls of the ones that are alive and cover everything with eternal Twilight. Considering that she's imprisoned, there's not much she can do, as the shadows have already taken over the realm. I won't reveal any spoilers, but I can tell you that: princess Zelda wants the kingdom of Hyrule back from the aggressors that merged the Twilight Realm with it. Twilight Princess is a true fairy tale, told in a way that's appealing to children and adults, not to mention the die-hard fans that already posses some pieces of the whole storyline. Things will become pretty clear in the moment you'll see the beautiful princess Zelda that will pet the wolf version of Link and explain the whole situation to him. A cute goblin-like character called Midna appears and explains the whole situation to the newly-transformed wolf. There, he is transformed into a wolf and he must escape the castle in which he is being held captive.
That doesn't discourage our brave hero and he pursues the monsters getting transported to the Twilight Realm. Things go berserk when a couple of monsters kidnap the mayor's daughter and knock Link down. He was chosen to deliver the Ordon Sword to the Hyrule Castle as a gift and the boy hopes that one day he will meet princess Zelda. No one would predict that a thin boy like him would be the savior of this realm, considering his shyness and looks. Link is a blond fellow who lives in the Ordon Village and takes care of the villagers' goats. Link is a funny name for a main character, but who dares to make fun of Mario, for example? If you played Ocarina of Time, you might want to know that the events in Twilight Princess happen a hundred years later.
In case you can't, you might want to check out the tips and tricks section for a couple of helpful hints. just have a look at this version of Zelda and you'll want to play it forever, or at least till you finish it. It doesn't even matter if you've played shooters your whole life, you might not even be a gamer. Nintendo struck gold with their release titles and this is one of their best, if not the best of the whole lot.
Feel free to check out the review on this wonderful piece of equipment that gave me hours and hours of entertainment through Link's adventures. Zelda is not just a pleasant return of a classic, but it's also my first game on the Nintendo Wii. 20 years have passed and the Zelda-mania got so bad that fans were making queues in front of the stores to buy the Wii and the Zelda Twilight Princess game. To some, it had the same magnitude as Mario did, the first time it became known as a hit. I was born in the same year when Zelda first surfaced, changing the gaming world forever.
