Zelda: Twilight Princess Discussion

**King Jericho** · 05-24-2005, 04:44 PM

I know it's like maaaaaad early and the release date isn't for some time, but I'm so excited about the prospect of the new game that I'm marking out like when Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Wind Waker came out. Marked out esp. for Ocarina

But anyways, lets discuss the stuff we've read, possible rumours, new aspects etc, whatever you want. *For those who don't want to know anything some story and game, spoiler warning to you*

I was reading an article on Nintendovip with Shigsy, Eiji Aonuma and Koji Kondo (The Music Guy) and they said a few things that I hadn't seen before and thought I would start the discussion with:

So if Link goes into Twilight Hyrule, he becomes a wolf?
Aonuma: Twilight is fuelled by magic power and Link can't exist in his human form in that area. We can't go into details, but it is part of his destiny to become that wolf.

At the beginning of the trailer we see black and white visuals of a castle; is that Hyrule Castle? And if so, what's going on there?
Aonuma: Yep, at the beginning of the trailer you saw Link sucked into this black miasma we call the Twilight� and yes, that is Hyrule Castle, transformed by the Twilight.

So what's with the robe? (Talking about Princess Zelda) Does she have some connection to what�s going on, and to Link's transformation into a wolf?
Aonuma: The robe is based on a Japanese funeral robe. Zelda can't stop Twilight from taking over Hyrule, and her inability to halt Twilight at this point has a definite connection with Link's transformation, but we can't tell you more yet.

Who or what is this character Riding Link in Wolf form?
Aonuma: She is Midna, a resident of the Twilight realm. She has her own motivations and thinks that wolf-Link can help her, so they begin a co-operative relationship.

Other points include:

Link's attacks as a wolf are effected by Midna riding on his back (Which personally I think has something to do with the Red flag/cloth that comes from her head/back.

Koji Kondo talked about that the game will feature Orchestrated music along the way in the game, but only at specific and major parts or where they think the orchestra feel will add to the feel and dynamics of the game.
