The Legend of Zelda
Yes, I have made a Nintendo page, and a Runescape page...now it's time for a Zelda page! What is "Zelda"? Well it is a series that has been in the video game world since the Nintendo NES. It stars a hero named Link as he sets off in an adventure to rescue Zelda. The different game titles' stories differ, but have a similar plot. Twilight Princess is my favorite.
Please, if you didn't already, click my link to www.Zeldalegends.net under "links". It is incredible! I am Link_Fan790 on that website (like I am on so many things). This website has pictures, music, FAQs, walkthroughs, and message boards. You'll never be bored! Also, you can check out more Zelda websites in the links section of Zeldalegends.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
For the Wii
This game has come out on the debut of the Wii, and is definitely a great game. As you play, you will experience so many things that will make you say "I remember this from Ocarina of Time!", and yet gives you a totally new experience as well. For the Wii, this game is like none other. With the Wii controller, you can control Link's sword. It gets some getting used to, but after about 3 hours of playing, you really get used to it! In fact, it feels better, more satisfying, and you will want to stick with it forever, and not go back to the old way of using the buttons. It adds to the game play. Using the Bow and arrow is very easy, as you just need to point the Wii remote at the screen, aim, and fire. The new Wii controllers make it easier to aim, control, and react faster-as opposed to the Game Cube controller. Remember, since this game is also for Game Cube, the graphics aren't the best, not even for the Wii version. Some of the close up views and characters lack the detail that would be nicer.
You really feel involved in this game, as there is much terrain, a many variety of items, and much to defeat. When you engage with an enemy, you can use many different strategies, by using items and tools; not just your sword (later in the game you can even use your shield to stun foes!).
When you ride Epona (the horse that has appeared in many Zelda titles) you really feel the adventure. You can start off on a trot, and ease up on a gallop, and soon a dead run. While you are on your trusty stead, you can use your sword, again, by bringing your Wii remote back and forth and swiping the sword left and right. This is useful when attacking vultures (or practically any other aerial creature) and other enemies on horses (or a different riding-animal). This also includes being able to use your bow and arrows. How? Simply, put Epona at a speed and she will continue the same speed in the same direction as your use your arrows on her.
The difficulty is not disappointing, and the dungeons are pretty tough. However, the bosses are a little lacking in difficulty. They are somewhat similar to the bosses of all the other Zelda titles, as in concepts, but the looks are scarier, bigger, and definitely a bit more realistic. These bosses are still fun and engaging, but not as challenging.
What I found rather pleasing was the microphone in the Wii remote. It would make a sound when you would pull out your sword, and when you would bump into walls. Also, you would hear Midna chuckling slightly, which would indicate she wished to talk to you. It's sort of like doby digital surround sound on your Wii!
Overall, I rate this game 9.5/10. This is a classic! Don't under-rate the graphics, as this is still a very pretty game. The water is somewhat realistic, as are the some grassy fields (when using the Gale Boomerang, the wind of it shifts the grass!) are pretty nice looking too. Even the characters are pretty believable, however some of the more detailed enemies look rather gritty. The Items are fun to use and work with, and the game itself is really fun to explore. And how about a whooping nine temples! All challenging, engaging. What I like about the temples is they make use of the new items you find. This will make it so you must try new items to progress, which will enhance your abilities much.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Legend of Zelda
The Ocarina of Time
One of Stealth Links leading writers likes Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time in fact he has recently beaten the game by defeating Ganon and sealing him in the evil realm. He says quote, “This Particular title in the Legend of Zelda series is the most famous around the globe as it came after a few O.K ones that were also accepted with open arms.” End of quote. In the game there are three main objectives that follow one another, the first is finding the three spiritual stones and opening the Door of Time, The second is finding and awakening the six sages that protect Hyrule, The third is to open a way into Ganondorf's tower and then defeat him. There are many other side quests like the four bottles, the gold skulltulas, the pieces of hearts, the scarecrow song, and the ice arrows. These are not necessary he says but are fun to have and use. You can learn thirteen songs in the game, the writer’s personal favorite is the song of storms, although you may be different, it is strongly recommended getting all of them. You can get three different swords, shields, tunics, boots, and gloves. They will be listed below in the FAQ. In conclusion although this is a hard and long game (take it from someone who knows) it is very fun and rewarding when you finish it.

Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventure
Legends of Zelda: Four Swords Adventure is a great game for the Nintendo Game Cube. This game is quiet different from any of the other Zelda titles: You command four Links. Quadruples the action! If you have two or more Game Boy Advances with connection cables, you and your friends can play on a team. You can travel and go threw the legend, or you can face off with your friends with The VS mode. I strongly encourage anyone of you to get it! I rate it four and a quarter stars.
It is easeir than it sounds...controlling multiple Links. And you thought one was hard enough! The game has a very good system with it about that.
Playing with Game Boy Advances if really fun too. As you enter a building, your freind/freinds could be somwhere else, exploring a different sector. Well, what will they show on the screen? Will they show you going into the building becuase your 1 Player? Or the other/others because they are outside? Well...check your Game Boy Advance screen. That's right...you appear on your game boy advance screen! It is a very functional feature.
BOTTOM LINE: This game is worth getting if you have freinds and game boy advances. The one player is still fun...but it takes some of the fun out when you only have one player.
Majora's Mask
This game is what some beleive to be the sequal to Ocrina of Time. However this is debatable due to the fact that as Link, you are a Kid the entire game. This takes place at Clock Town; a very small, yet buisy one. Currently, one of the moons in the sky has gotten dangerously close to the surface of the earth, and some people think it's nothing and feal like it's okay to stay. The soldeirs beleive it will come to the earth and destroy clock town forever. That is the only the begining of the story.
One of the best additions about this game that Ocrina of Time lacks a bit, are the masks. Though OOT did have some, it is nothing like this. The verieties of masks will enthrawl you, each one with it's special abilities. Turn into a Deku Scrub, Goron, Zora, and A secret character. Also, you will get the Ocrina of Time in this game as well...but not for purposes as you might think.
The entire game is just over a three day basis. You will use the Ocrina of Time to go back in time right before the moon hits the earth. However, you will keep your masks, which can be used for things on the first day that you missed. You will lose all of the money that is with you, however, in this game they have chosen to put in a bank (A good addition, if you ask me). This let's you store many rupees and will alow you to access them when you really need some.
Overal, I woud rate this game a 8/10. This is a very good game, but it can get frausterating at dungions, because you actually only get an option of the three days. You cannot save in the dungions and go back to the first day and you'll be in that place in the dungion again, but you must start from the begining.
BOTTOM LINE: Get this game! It is a classic. But timing is everything. And again you should play Ocrina of Time before you play this game to give it's full efect.
