'''''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess''''' (''{{Tt|Towairaito Purinsesu|トワイライトプリンセス}}'') is the 13th installment in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. Set over a century after the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', the game follows [[Link (Twilight Princess)|Link]] as he attempts to save [[Hyrule]] from being subsumed by the [[Twilight Realm]], an alternate dimension wreathed in shadow - along the way, Link is able to transform between the forms of a [[Hylian]] and a [[Wolf Link|wolf]], and is aided by [[Midna]], a mysterious imp native to the Twilight Realm. The game features a notably darker, more realistic art style compared to its predecessor, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' - this has been interpreted as a response to the backlash that ''Wind Waker'', particularly in the West, received for its brightly-colored, cel-shaded art style.
 
The game was originally planned to release for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] in 2005, but was delayed so that Nintendo could expand upon the content and create a port for the [[Nintendo Wii]]. The Wii version was released as a launch title in November 2006 in North America, and was released the following month in Japan, Europe, and Australia; the GameCube version was released in December 2006, as the final first-party title on the console. Upon release, ''Twilight Princess'' received critical acclaim and won several Game Of The Year awards, being cited as one of the greatest video games of all time. It is the second-best selling ''Zelda'' game behind ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', having sold over 8.85 million copies as of 2015, and the Wii port received a "Nintendo Selects" label in 2011. A remaster of the GameCube version, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD]]'', was released for the [[Wii U]] in March 2016.

Main page: [[Twilight Princess Story]]
[[File:Wolf-Link-and-Midna-Artwork.png|50px|left]]{{Main|Twilight Princess Story}}
Deep in the southern most region of the kingdom of Hyrule lies a village by the name of Ordan. Cradled in the scenic beauty of pristine farmland, the villagers of Ordan make a living by raising livestock. Among the villagers is a boy known as the most skillful rider in all the land. A boy who, it is expected, will take over the responsibility of leading Ordan as the village chief. His name is Link.
<!-- insert brief summary here -->
Trusted and liked by all the villagers, Link is especially loved by the other children of Ordan, among who he holds unofficial status as the leader of the pack. Link spends his days as a ranch hand and learns the ways of the sword from the village's lone swordsman, Rusl, in his spare time. He often displays his newly honed skills to the village youths, which makes him even more popular.
This game's story takes place after the [[Child Ending]] of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', when [[Zelda (Ocarina of Time)|that generation's Princess Zelda]] sent [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|the Hero of Time]] back in time to prevent the events of ''Ocarina of Time'' and allowed him to live out his childhood.


One day, Link is showing off his swordsmanship as usual, when a monkey appears. "Hey! That's the monkey that has been causing trouble all over the village! Lets get him", cry the children. They run after the monkey into the forest. Link rushes into the heart of the woods after them and is shocked to find that the dark thickets are teeming with countless monsters. After fighting his way through their ranks, Link rescues the child and the monkey from the cage where they are held captive.
This generation's Link lives a peaceful life in Ordon Village as a goat herder and animal wrangler. He is a valuable friend to both the village and forest. One day, Link is given the opportunity to visit Castle Town as an envoy to present a specially crafted sword to the royal family. Before Link embarks, however, tragedy strikes the village and he is forced to leave his tranquil life behind. Link must venture forth into the vast land of Hyrule to bring peace back to his village and, along the way, uncover the secret behind the mysterious Twilight.


Until now, the forest had been a safe place...
==Characters==
[[File:Midna_Icon.png|30px|left]]{{Main|Twilight Princess Characters}}


The next day, after much encouragement from Rusl, Link prepares to set out and deliver the village's tribute to Hyrule Castle. Having never visited the castle before, Link is in high spirits as he prepares for his journey, but when his childhood friend Ilia notice's a wound on Epona's haunch, she gives Link an earful for being so careless with his horse. In a huff, Ilia leads Epona away.
Twilight Princess features its own set of support characters, most of whom live in [[Castle Town]], [[Kakariko Village (Twilight Princess)|Kakariko Village]], or [[Ordon Village]].


Link tracks down Eopna and Ilia at the mystical spring nearby and attempts to apologize for injuring Epona. But no matter how many times he says he's sorry, Ilia simply refuses to forgive Link. Then Colin, a young boy from the village who idolizes Link, steps forward to mediate the situation. Thanks to Colin's explanation, Link is fianlly able to get Ilia to drop her gaurd and talk with him. Having warmed back up, Ilia tells Link, "Come back safely, and don't do anything reckless!"

Just then...

Link soon wakes up and runs across the bridge towards [[Faron Woods|the woods]].  He is pulled through a newly placed black wall by a [[Twilight Beast]], who drops him when a Triforce Symbol appears on his hand.  Soon after entering the Twilight, Link turns into a wolf and then faints. Link is taken to [[Hyrule Castle]] and imprisoned in the cellars. There, he meets [[Midna]], a mysterious character who doesn't fully reveal who she is and helps Link escape.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (トワイライトプリンセス) is the 13th installment in The Legend of Zelda series. Set over a century after the events of Majora's Mask, the game follows Link as he attempts to save Hyrule from being subsumed by the Twilight Realm, an alternate dimension wreathed in shadow - along the way, Link is able to transform between the forms of a Hylian and a wolf, and is aided by Midna, a mysterious imp native to the Twilight Realm. The game features a notably darker, more realistic art style compared to its predecessor, The Wind Waker - this has been interpreted as a response to the backlash that Wind Waker, particularly in the West, received for its brightly-colored, cel-shaded art style.

The game was originally planned to release for the Nintendo GameCube in 2005, but was delayed so that Nintendo could expand upon the content and create a port for the Nintendo Wii. The Wii version was released as a launch title in November 2006 in North America, and was released the following month in Japan, Europe, and Australia; the GameCube version was released in December 2006, as the final first-party title on the console. Upon release, Twilight Princess received critical acclaim and won several Game Of The Year awards, being cited as one of the greatest video games of all time. It is the second-best selling Zelda game behind Breath of the Wild, having sold over 8.85 million copies as of 2015, and the Wii port received a "Nintendo Selects" label in 2011. A remaster of the GameCube version, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, was released for the Wii U in March 2016.

This generation's Link lives a peaceful life in Ordon Village as a goat herder and animal wrangler. He is a valuable friend to both the village and forest. One day, Link is given the opportunity to visit Castle Town as an envoy to present a specially crafted sword to the royal family. Before Link embarks, however, tragedy strikes the village and he is forced to leave his tranquil life behind. Link must venture forth into the vast land of Hyrule to bring peace back to his village and, along the way, uncover the secret behind the mysterious Twilight.
