However, following The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, there was nothing like that. To address the desire of fans, Twilight Princess Hyrule Field again brought a vast, sometimes a little empty, but with animated fighting on horseback.


Transformation into a wolf

By visiting the Twilight Realm (Kingdom of Twilight) for the first time, the player undergoes a transformation and takes the form of a wolf.

However, Midna shook the help of notions like a skittish character often selfish and even made fun of Link, which became a great favorite among fans.


The soul of an ancient hero (Hero's Shade)

In several gaming sites you can find stones in which resides the soul of an "old hero", which presents himself as an armored skeleton willing to teach his techniques to Link. Many fans of the series however realized detail and traced theories that they would be confirmed in the official book "Hyrule Historia".

The final battle

The final confrontation between the forces of good and evil in The Legend of Zelda is always striking, since the first time in 3D with Ocarina of Time even in its most cartoonize version of The Wind Waker. In Twilight Princess this battle takes on a new scale, where Ganondorf looks even more imposing and monstrous than ever, both in his human form as transformed into giant pig.
