Since the debut of The Legend of Zelda in 1987, Link's games have been the stuff of legends -- universally appealing adventures that emerge as beloved triumphs of gameplay, presentation, innovation, graphics and fun. In The Legend of Zelda for Nintendo GameCube, Link debuts on GCN with a fun new look, but the game is still serious about adventure. The series' classic mix of sword-swinging action, perplexing puzzles and stirring story lines remains intact while the new Toon Rendering graphics enable the characters of Link's world to be the most lively and expressive personalities you've ever seen in a video game. The narrative immediately places Link in a dire situation. Emotions hit a fever pitch when the young hero witnesses his sister being snatched up by a giant bird. Link embarks on an epic voyage to locate his sister, unraveling a mystery that deftly blends unique, stylized graphics with the much-heralded mechanics of the gaming milestone, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Link travels from island to island by sailboat, and as a result the wind plays a key role in the game. In an innovative twist, The Legend of Zelda for Nintendo GameCube will take advantage of the Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable. By using the cable to connect to a Game Boy Advance (no software necessary), players will gain access to new items and features. |
