After entering the Twilight Realm, Link is transformed into a wolf, and then meets Midna, a mysterious creature. She informs Link that the kingdom of Hyrule has been taken by a group shadow beasts commanded by the evil sorcerer Zant. She also explains she is the true ruler of Twili but was usurped by Zant and cursed to her current form.

Characters

The Legend of Zelda series is full of vibrant characters that leave an unforgettable impression on players. From hands coming out of toilets to pirate sailors sailing across vast oceans, these unique and imaginative characters are the core of the game. Twilight Princess continues in the tradition of previous games, introducing many memorable characters.

In the course of the story, Link meets new NPCs that are not just fascinating, but also credible. It's a major step in the right direction that many of these NPCs actually have a role in the story rather than simply being there as victims. NPCs such as Rusl who explains that the forest is becoming more risky now and kidnaps children or the Ordon villager who disguises himself as a wolf when the kids are kidnapped all have unique personalities.

Other notable characters include Iza who runs the Boat Rental Cabin in Lanayru Province and Iza's rapid ride, Louise Telma’s cat, who aids Wolf Link find a secret access point to the castle through her bar, sewer system, and Faron who's spirit helps guide Link to the Forest Temple in Eldin Province.

Theme

Music is an important part of any Zelda game. It can make a game appear vast exciting, expansive, and captivating. Twilight Princess' soundtrack is often criticized for being sporadic and inconsistent and doesn't convey certain emotional moments. Ocarina of Time Majora's Mask and other games have captivating music that explode at the right moment to create a feeling of grandness and eerie.

Toru Minegishi and Asuka Ohta were the composers for the sound design and music in Twilight Princess, with Koji Kondo as the composer in charge for the first time since Wind Waker. The soundtrack to Twilight Princess is a radical departure from the usual approach to the series, and features a the minimalist approach to music and arrangements. The majority of dungeon and field themes begin with a single instrument, creating an atmospheric and mysterious atmosphere for the player. For example, the haunting music in Midna's Lament utilizes an ordinary piano to create a soaring feeling of sadness for the player.

The themes of dungeons are the most well-known examples of this trend towards minimalism, with many Dungeons displaying a dark and ominous ambience. This is particularly evident in Twilight Realm, which has an dark soundscape that could be found in the soundtrack of a David Lynch movie. The unsettling and ominous nature of this track is accentuated by the absence of identifiable melodies and traditional arrangement, with dreary drones and peculiar patterns intertwining to create a bleak texture.

Link's song from his hometown, "Faron Woods," is a more uplifting and joyful track. The tune makes use of a variety of soft sounds and stringed instruments to create an idyllic sense of peace and safety for the player. The song is an ode to the most well-known scene in the franchise because it has a riff that is similar to the iconic melody that plays at the Ocarina of Time's beginning.

There are also some dynamic songs in Twilight Princess that change depending on where the player is and what they're doing, and what's happening. For instance the Hyrule Castle Town theme has various versions for each part of the town and Central Square being the most popular. Central Square having a more boisterous and full version of the tune. These variations are a nice addition that can help to create an atmosphere of depth and immersion to the world of Hyrule.





Story

Link's quest in Twilight Princess is to save Hyrule from the corrupted parallel world known as the Twilight Realm. To accomplish this, he adopts the form of a Hylian and an Wolf and is being assisted by a woman called Midna.

Midna was the original ruler of Twili but she was usurped and cursed by Zant into her imp form. The Sages of the Old Testament explain to Link and Midna that only defeating Ganondorf can be the key to their release from their curse. The Sages reveal that the Mirror of Twilight is the source of the darkness in the Twilight Realm. Midna and Link travel to the Spirit's Spring, where they encounter hostile monsters that kidnap children. Wolf Link's keen nose assists them in tracking the children's scent to a bridge nearby and then cross into the Twilight Realm.

They enter the Forest Temple and battle Diababa and win the first Fused Shadow. Faron then informs them of their next destination, the Eldin Province in the west (Wii) or the east (GCN).

At the Lakebed Temple in Lanayru, Midna teleports Link to a fiery rock and uses her powers to melt the ice at the bottom of Lake Hylia. Rutela's spirit who is the recently gone Zora queen, appears to Link and informs Link that he must visit the Lakebed Temple if he wants to access the treasure of Zora.

Twilight Princess allows you to ride Epona, the horse from Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask. In contrast to the set name used in the two previous games, Link can now decide the name of the horse by himself.

Midna and Link can retrieve the remaining Mirror Shards once they arrive in the Twilight Realm. The Sages reveal to Midna that she is the real ruler of the Twili. She was a pawn over for the monarchy, and was relegated to an ego-driven god. The Sages also tell them that the only way to defeat Ganondorf is to bring him into the light and break the pact between Twilight and Hyrule kingdoms.
