You start off the game as child Link, which in turn, precedes any of the Zelda games so far. This is the first appearance of Link, so to speak. You start off in the fairy village in Kokoriki Forest. This is where you must learn your moves. Link can do a lot of things; talk, walk, run, swim, sword fight, jump, grab items, throw items, use other weapons...the list goes on. The nice part is however, that you won�t have to learn a ton of complex buttons and controller moves. For the most part 1 button does most of it. You see, most of what Link does is context sensitive. That is, when Link needs to open a door, the Action button allows him to. When Link needs to speak, the Action button does that, too. When Link needs to climb... you guessed it, Action Button. This allows even the most novice players to jump in and get adventuring.
As the adventure unfolds you�ll find yourself switching back and forth between time periods. Things that you do in the past affect the future, so you must be sure to cover all of your tracks. For example, Adult Link can only ride the horse, but it is the child Link that must first gain the horse�s trust. Both Links, have moves and weapons that are exclusive to them, which makes the game so much more interesting. Once you get used to one set of weapons, you have to learn new ones. |
