Courage. The evil wizard Ganondorf had
tried to get a wish from the Triforce, but he
only had power, so he was given the
Triforce of Power, splitting the Triforce
into three. The Triforce of Wisdom went
to Princess Zelda, the Princess of
Hyrule. Ganon then set on a quest to
collect the other two Triforces at no
cost. In a hurried attempt to protect her piece
of the Triforce, Princess Zelda splits it into 8
pieces and spreads them around Hyrule,
only before being captured by the wizard
Ganondorf. Your job is to find all 8 pieces of
the Triforce, save Princess Zelda, defeat
Ganondorf, and protect Hyrule as a whole.
To get these Triforce chunks you
must adventure about Hyrule: defeating
dungeon after dungeon, boss after boss, until
you reach your destiny. Each member of the
Zelda franchise is known for its unique
feature such as merging into walls,
becoming a wolf, or riding a boat. This sets
each game apart to make it its own game.
because of some
drastic changes in
gameplay and art
style. The third
game titled A Link to the
Past was a drastic upgrade to the series for
the Super Nintendo/Super Famicom. This
new game had lots of new features and far
improved graphics making it still a popular
classic today. Nintendo even made a sequel
to that game, even if it did take 22 years.
After that was when the series went 3D with
the release of the N64, bringing plat-forming
and puzzles to a whole new dimension in
Ocarina of Time. This game was where the
series really got big. Ocarina of Time got a
99/100 on Metacritic, making it the highest
rating the site has ever given. This really
shows how such big things can come from
just one kid. Keep believing, and one day
you just might become the Shigeru
Miyamoto of your time.
