December 2, 2006Game Overview:
November 1st, 2005: original release date of Twilight Princess.
March 2006: post-poned released date of Twilight Princess. Holiday 2006:
third release date of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
As you probably get, this game was pushed back many
times. When it was first revealed at E3, the Zelda community went
crazy. Originally, it was scheduled to be one of the last games released
for the Nintendo GameCube, but with all of the excitement for the
new Nintendo Wii, Nintendo decided to make the game one of the first
games released for the Wii. And it was a very good choice.
Twilight Princess, beside from being one of Zelda's
best games, also brought many new additions to the Zelda series. New
characters, new races, and new stories, all of which were brought
by one game. The game also brought realistic graphics back to the
series. The game featured not only new people, but colorful people.
It had a dark storyline that surpasses all but Ocarina of Time.
And the game, most importantly, lived up to its hype.
There are games that get so talked about, and then are total flops.
Twilight Princess actually lived up to all of the talk. Nintendo delivered.
If you are viewing this webpage and you don't have the game, please
leave (just kidding). But seriously, get the game as soon as you possibly
can. It is worth the money.
An excerpt from the game manual...
Deep in the southernmost region of the kingdom of Hyrule
lies a village by the name of Ordon. Cradled in the scenic beauty
of farmland, the villagers of Ordon make a living by raising livestock.
Among the villagers is a boy known as the most skillful rider in all
the land. A boy who, it is expected, will one day take over the responsibilities
of leading Ordon as the village chief. His name is Link...
Trusted and liked by all the villagers, Link is especially
loved by the other children of Ordon, among whom he holds unofficial
status as the leader of the pack. Link spends his days as a ranch
hand and learns the ways of the sword from the village's lone swordsman,
Rusl, in his spare time. He often displays his newly honed skills
to the village youths, which makes him even more popular.
One day link is showing off his swordsmanship as usual,
when a monkey appears. "Hey! That's the monkey that's been causing
trouble all over the village! Let's get him," cry the children.
They run after the money into the forest. Link rushes into the heart
of the woods after them and is shocked to find that the dark thickets
are teeming with countless monsters. After fighting his way through
their ranks, Link rescues the child and the monkey from the cage where
they are held captive.
Until now, the forest had always
been a safe place...
The next day, after much encouragement by Rusl, Link
prepares to set out and deliver the village's tribute to Hyrule Castle.
Having never visited the castle before, Link is in high spirits as
he prepares for his journey, but when his childhood friend ilia notices
a wound on Epona's haunch, she gives Link and earful for being so
careless with the horse. in a huff, ilia leads Epona away.
Link tracks down Epona and Ilia at the mystical spring
nearby and attempts to apologize for injuring Epona. But no matter
how many times he says he's sorry, Ilia simply refuses to forgive
Link. Then Colin, a young boy from the village who idolizes Link,
steps forward to mediate the situation. Thanks to Colin's explanation,
link is finally able to get Ilia to drop her guard and talk with him.
having warmed back up, Ilia tells Link, "Come back safely, and
don't do anything reckless!"
Just then...
A monster astride a huge boar
comes crashing out of the forest. The fearsome monster and its mount
break through the gate to the spring and attack the youths.
Caught off guard by the sudden assault, link is helpless
to stop the monster from delivering a blow that renders him unconscious.
Through the fog of his half-conscious mind, Link
watches Colin and Ilia get swept off by the monster...
