Theories and Questions

Below is a long description of things I've been wondering about, questions I want to ask, and theories I've developed about TP. Read onward.

Okay, so we all know the general basics of Twilight Princess. Link will be an adult, he'll have the Hylian Sheild, he'll still have Epona, etc. But what about his little friend? He's almost always had some before.

OoT - Navi the Fairy
MM - Tatl the Fairy
WW - Tetra and King

And there are plenty more examples. What kind of friend do you think Link will have in this game? I think they may do something like WW, instead of King contacting you it could be Midna or Zelda. I personally think they should bring back a fairy because, if you're like me, sometimes temples (especially the Shadow Temple in OoT) begin to freak you out or make you feel lonely (not in real life, but if I believe characters like to sometimes imagine themselves with Link's mind). But as said before I think it would sort of fit the mood if Midna contacted you instead of a fairy.

Which kind of ties into my next point. No one knows what Midna exists as outside the Twilight Realm, right? Well, a small, totally unbacked-up theory I have is that Midna exists inside a crystal, stone, or some other kind of item given to you. This way she would be like a partner inside the Twilight Realm as a human (?) and outside as a voice of advice.

Next is something I've given tons of thought to. Eiji Aonuma himself said they were definitly going to incoorporate more cool-looking performances to finish off enemies to go along with the already-shown downward thrust. And as great as TP looks, I had to admit it got kind of boring just doing thrusts again and again in the Forest Temple. So I added a few of my own interesting ideas for cool-looking coup de grace(s) Link will (sorry, SHOULD) be able to do.

Vertical slice - Link flips over the enemy and gives them a vertical slice in the back.
Digging slice - Link leaps into the air and lands right in front of the enemy and digs his sword in between their feet, then does a digging motion and swings his sword up. Major groinal pain now.
Swordplay - Identical to Tidus's first Overdrive attack in FFX, Link does four no-handed cartwheels and gives the enemy a vertical slash.
Sword toss - Link hucks his sword into the enemy's forehead then retrieves it.
Sheild tackle 'n slash - Link smacks the enemy in the face with his sheild and then shoves his sword through their chest.
Backwards stab - Link shoves his sword into an enemy-behind-him's chest without even turning his head and then watches them explode into a cloud of black dust.


And finally something everyone is thinking about: multiple tunics. As much as I'd love to see the return of multiple outfits, I don't think it'll be happening. The second demo area, Horseback Attack, is said to take place toward the middle of the game. And guess what? Link is still dressed in his usual greens. Another example is the fire boss. We know that takes place sometime after the Forest Temple, and when Link is seen fighting him, he's still in green. So sorry, but I think more tunics will be a no-show. I would so friggin' love to see a Link clothed in black and white like Super Smash Brothers Melee. Oh well.

As always, feel free to tell me how wrong I am to have any of these things cross my mind. Also please feel free to add onto my points, and I'd love to hear your ideas about the finishing attacks. Make up your own, please. There's no boundaries with *eyes get all wide and dreamy smile crosses face* imaginaaaaation.

im pretty sure as well that midna will communicate to link through an object of some sort when out of the twilight. also to comment on the horseback scene. what you saw at e3 was not exactly what is going to be in the game. it is just a demo to give you an idea of what it will be like. obviously by that point in the game link would have many more items and hearts.

Perhaps Minda is a fairy out of the Twilight good a therory as any.

The targetin system will no longer revolve around the "Little Friend" like it did in OoT,MM etc that they made clear along with the abilty to parry attacks etc.

Will be sad to see no faires in TP im sure there will be some not sure if theyk have a mian role. Return of Navi would make a great Zelda games but hwo knows.
