Video Games -Main Level
For those of you who might not know, The Legend of Zelda is one of the most popular series of games in history. For us old timers who remember, Zelda dates back to 1987 when it first debuted as a top down 2-D game for the Nintendo Entertainment Center. Since then the game has gone through many changes, yet it always retains many of the same elements that make it a classic. This entry in the series is no different, and may be one of the best so far.
Those familiar with the series will recognize the green garbed hero Link, and his nemesis Ganon. As is the standard you start out as a simple boy who is thrown into an extraordinary adventure. As you progress in the game you’ll work your way through simple tasks such as herding goats with your trusty horse Epona, exploring the vast world of Hyrule, and conquering an array of enemies in the games many dungeons. With each task accomplished you’ll gain additional abilities and weapons.
This may all seem like old news to those who are familiar with the series, but what makes the game stand out is the use of the Wii remote. By swinging the remote you can slash your sword, as well as use it to aim at opponents when using your bow and arrow. Many of the puzzles also take advantage of the controller’s intuitive design. While the controls are a bit more advanced then some of the other Wii games, it doesn’t take long to get the hang of. All in all Twilight Princess is a great game that translates well onto Nintendo’s new platform.
