The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Starting off with the virtually unknown NES game the Zelda series has really excelled since the phenomenon known as Ocarina of Time hit the shelves. With it brought high expectations from the other Zelda games and thus far neither Majora's Mask nor Windwaker have made as much of an impact, will Twilight Princess be the game that does?

In terms of graphics it outdoes any other Zelda game by a mile and as a matter of fact on the gamecube. Scrapping the cell shaded look from Windwaker it goes for a more serious outlook in which we see the Gamecube's graphics engine being used to the limit. Having seen the video of the game in action, there appear to be no problems with the gameplay of the game in which we see it running well.

Onto the story of the game now, Link is order by the mayor of Hyrule to attend the Hyrule Summit. He goes not knowing that Hyrule has now changed for the worse and has been taken over by the Twilight Realm. When Link enters the Twilight Realm or Zone, he transform into a wolf and you see yourself in some parts of the game as a wolf and in others as Link. As the game splits up so does his objectives, when Link it's more of an Ocarina of Time game where we see the usual puzzle solving and the lengthy dungeons but when in the Twilight Zone, its completely different. With the abilities that come with being a Wolf and the help of the magic of someone he meets in there he attempts to bring light to Hyrule.

Link still uses his trusty Master Sword, shields and all the usual things we expect from Zelda games but in this we see more use of the bow & arrows, fighting on a horseback and of course his new abilities as a wolf. For the map of the game, we will see the return of hyrule, we will see more dungeons and we will see a whole lot more.

In conclusion, Twlight Princess looks set to be the Zelda game that truly lives up to the hype of Ocarina of Time and will definitely be a must have for any Gamecube owner.
