The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess game has a big step up from graphics from its last one: The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. The graphics are more real and have more realistic items although this may be because the actual game play is not realistic because it is fiction and Link (the character that you play as) can put a lot of items in one tiny little bag tied to his belt. This same game was first on GameCube then it was made on Wii soon after. The storyline of this game is about good will.  You help save the light world (his world) with the help of Midna, who is a little pixie who was transformed by Zant from their race of creature to a pixie type creature. You begin at your small village where you first have to do a few things around the place. You have to get a few items that let you progress through this stage and then your friends are kidnapped by an evil Bulbin (similar to a goblin), which happens to be king Bulbin. Then you chase after them but you run into an odd dark wall that you are dragged through by a Twilight messenger. (See here.)

The messenger tries to strangle you and your tri-force symbol shines and blinds the messenger making it retreat. You then feel very strange and your body is engulfed by a wolf link form, which you have now turned into. Then Midna finds you when you wake up in a prison cell only to find yourself locked to a chain. Midna talks to you, frees you and then you continue to finish this part in the game. There are many monsters in this game that you encounter including Skulltula’s (giant spiders), Bulbin’s, keese (like bats except more evil) and many, many more.

This game takes quite a while to actually complete and even harder to get all the heart pieces and heart containers (your life energy), giant quiver (holds the most arrows), giant wallet and all the poe souls (you have to kill them while in wolf form and they are hidden everywhere in the game and hard to get all of them). There are nine dungeons in the whole game but they don’t just go like that. First, you have to get to that dungeon which might take some time but also because you will want to get some of the items first so it’s easier to complete and you will always need at least some of the items for actually getting to the dungeon. Some of the dungeons include Snowpeak Mountain, a temple of time (takes you back in time but doesn’t change your current age) and a Forest Temple. All of these have mini-bosses and bosses for each dungeon. The last dungeon also has mini-bosses as normal monsters, which makes it a big challenge! There is always a compass (shows chests and dungeon related items on the map as well as the boss chamber), a dungeon map (shows the map of the area on all levels) and a big key which gets access to the boss’ chamber. There are also certain things you must do to reach the big key as well and is easily the hardest item to get in the dungeons. After you kill a mini-boss, you get a new item from a chest and you always need that item for the dungeons boss and for the big key as well (or at least get the item first to obtain the big key.)There is one exception however, in the last dungeon there is no new item and use only what you have gotten from the previous dungeons.

Overall, this is a great game not only because it has great graphics and a great storyline but also because it is a very long game and actually takes some time to beat because most games don’t take much time to beat. My record on beating this game (with every item and heart container) is about 35 hours!
