A main feature is that Link can (eventually) shapeshift at will between his Hylian and wolf forms in order to solve puzzles and pass obstacles. The game featured a realistic graphics style that had been eagerly anticipated by fans since Ocarina of Time. Together they must fight Zant, the King of the Twilight, who seeks to rule over both the realms of light and shadow. Fortunately, his lack of opposable thumbs is made up for by a sarcastic imp named Midna, a denizen of the Twilight who allies with Link for her own mysterious reasons. What's more, this Twilight curses him into the form of a wolf, which brings with it a whole new set of abilities (like a wolf's sense of smell). Pursuing them, Link discovers that most of Hyrule has become drowned in "Twilight": an oppressive darkness where monsters thrive and life is frozen. This peace is shattered when strange shadow monsters invade and kidnap some of the children, including Link's best friend Ilia.
In Twilight Princess, Link is a mere farmhand living a passive life in peaceful Ordon Village. Both a launch title for the Wii and the final first-party release for the Nintendo GameCube (on December 11, 2006), the game later received with a remastered version a decade later on the Wii U on March 4, 2016. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is the thirteenth game in The Legend of Zelda series, released on November 19, 2006.
