E3: Hands-On Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Bond In Investing Savings The Legend of Zelda series has always been one of Nintendo's most popular and exciting franchises. For over 15 years, Nintendo has delivered with the series some of the video game industrys most impressive titles ever designed. But while traditionally the series has featured a semi-realistic visual style (despite some Zelda titles taking a more cartoon-esque approach), Nintendo created quite a controversy in 2001 when it debuted The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker to an audience that was expecting a super realistic Zelda for the GameCube.

People cried. People cheered. Lives were changed.

shaded sequel to the Wind Waker that many are wondering just what happened upon seeing a new "realistic" Zelda at this years E3. IGN managed to get a few comments from Nintendo about the new Zelda. According to Nintendo, this new version of Zelda is in fact running on a modified version of the Wind Waker game engine. This new game is also NOT a remake, and is an entirely new and original story in the Zelda universe.

James Bond Trading Card Now, a year later, Twilight Princess has made its star-studded debut at Nintendos booth at this years Electronic Entertainment Expo. Attendees lined up this morning at around 10:00 am and waited for as long as two hours to play the game. Thankfully, we were one of the first to wrap our hands around the game, and boy are we happy about it.

The newly downsized E3 of 2007 left a bitter taste in my mouth. Not because the smaller E3 was a terrible idea, but because Nintendo focused a bit too much on the casual audience that was making the Wii so profitable. Instead of showing a new Zelda or Pikmin, we got Wii Fit and it's new controller, which excited me, game compilations, so where was a new game for the hardcore crowd that made Nintendo what it once was I figured those would come, I just had to wait a little longer.

Bond In Investing Stock At the show, Nintendo has four different mini demos on display. One demo showed off the horseback riding elements in Twilight Princess, one showed off the town play, one showed off one of the games dungeons called the Forest Temple, and finally the last was based around the Forest Temples epic boss battle. In short, we like.

E3 press conference is scheduled to take place on May 9, 2006. AMN will be on hand at the event with full coverage. On another note, the site also writes about GameCube highlights, of course listing Twilight Princess watch games. However, the site doesnt even list a release date for the title, instead referring to its release as TBA, which stands for to be announced. Of course, because this is Nintendos European site, this reference may be in regards to the UK release of the title, not the North American or Japanese one. On that subject, Nintendo has in the past said Zelda would release by the end of 2006.

Municipal Bonds Investment Overall, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess plays very much like any other Zelda game released in the last 15-plus years. The control scheme is familiar, as you use the analog stick to control Link around a fantasy world and the C stick to rotate the games camera. The A button lets Link perform various context sensitive moves, such as opening doors and jumping. The B button lets him slash his sword, and when timed correctly, use a parry move to dodge an enemys attack and hit it. Finally, the X and Y buttons serve as other action buttons for Links inventory. Then, of course, the L trigger lets Link lock-on to enemies. Further, the Z button, at times, offers a hint when pressed. The controls are intuitive as always, though the sensitivity while in first-person view could be tuned a bit.

Bond Terms Trading The first demo we played took place in Tauru Village. It kicked off on a ranch where Link must round-up some cattle. Link can hop onto his horse then move around the world freely, very similarly to in Ocarina of Time. This mini-game-esque portion of the demo had Link ride around a ranch trying to round-up 20 different cows. The control stick moved Epona forward in traditional fashion, while the A button caused Link to push the cattle in a specific direction. After the mini-game, Link has to jump over some obstacles by pressing the A button with appropriate timing.

Bond Debt High In Inside Unfortunately, we were unable to play much past this part of the Tauru Village demo, as a Nintendo rep wanted to demonstrate to us the horseback-themed demo called Marauder Battle. In it, Link battles his way across a war-like battlefield, fighting enemies on horseback. Nintendos created a very solid control set-up for the horseback-based fighting. Link can make Epona run faster if you press the A button. Like in both Nintendo 64 Zelda masterpieces you can only use this action so many times in a row before you have to wait for the action to be available again. In addition to this returning mechanic is the entirely new horseback swordplay. The B button lets Link swing his sword if tapped, and if held, lets Link do a powerful twirl with his sword, in a similar fashion to how he normally does on foot.

Bond Greenville Greenville Link could also hop off Epona while on the battlefield, but we quickly learned it wasnt the way to go after Link was hit by oncoming mobs of horseback-riding enemies. Link also had to go up against a cool boss fight in this demo. Overall, the horse back-riding elements to Twilight Princess, which is what the first two demos focused on, are very impressive, and if theyre a taste of whats to come, then color us impressed.

But the real treat at the Zelda booth was the playable demo called Forest Temple. As the name implies, it was a 15-minute playable demo of one of Twilight Princess many dungeons. Also, as the name suggests, it featured a forest theme similar to the Forest Temple found in Ocarina of Time. However, Twilight Princess Forest Temple looks nothing like the Ocarina of Time dungeon. Beautiful animation brings the experience to life, while sharp textures make it look both realistic not to mention very manga-esque thanks to the stylish art direction. Countless vines run up and down the temples many walls, while stylish architecture and lighting effects blend together to create an epic atmosphere. Wrap this all together and Twilight Princess becomes a truly stunning piece of software. Even problems like the minor frame rate slowdown are easily forgotten. Its that pretty.
