Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Posted by Zonk on from the woof dept.

Besides the Micro and some more Revolution details, the Nintendo Press Conference also set our eyes on a new trailer for the upcoming Legend of Zelda title. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, to be precise. Gamespot has a run-down and the trailer. From the article: "Yeah, we'll repeat that for emphasis: in the new Legend of Zelda game, Link will apparently be able to turn into a werewolf. The gameplay effects of this are only hinted at in the new trailer; oddly enough, it appears that Link will have some kind of partner in crime that will actually ride him like a horse while he's in wolf form." Update: 05/18 19:42 GMT by Z : Changed link to Gamespot's more in-depth trailer analysis.

  2. Wolf and Eagle Details by Agilus · · Score: 5, Interesting

    From this article at IGN:

    http://cube.ign.com/articles/615/615045p1.html

    it appears that they think Link will turn into a wolf by night, and Zelda into an eagle (or falcon, or something) by day, sort of along the lines of the characters in the movie "movie Ladyhawke." I'm just basically parrotting this from the article, though.

    I think it could lend itself to some interesting gameplay. Maybe cooperative multiplayer, sort of like with Tingle in the The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker? Hopefully it would be more in-depth than that was, though.... My wife was bummed to have to sit out all of the boss fights. :(

    I wonder what the ESRB rating will be.
