The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is the last Nintendo GameCube installment and the first Wii installment in The Legend of Zelda series. Revealed at E3 2004 to applause, the game was developed with a more realistic and mature style in the same vein as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, in response and in contrast to the mixed reception toward the cartoony, cel-shaded visual style of the previous GameCube installment, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. As the game was developed as a successor to Ocarina of Time, the game canonically takes place centuries after the events of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, which is set after the ending of Ocarina of Time.
Twilight Princess was originally developed for just the Nintendo GameCube, but it was decided to port the game as a launch title for the impending release of the Wii console. While the Wii version was released first in most regions, in Japan both versions of the game were released simultaneously. The Wii version would later be re-released as part of the Nintendo Selects line of budget Wii titles, in 2011 in Japan and North America, 2013 in Europe, and 2015 in South Korea.

Story
As Link, a fully grown adult, is about to deliver a sword and shield as a gift to the Royal Family, he must save one of his village neighbors from a group of Bokoblins. The day after, Link is attacked by a group of Bulbins and knocked out. When he awakens, he finds himself in the forest. Following the path leads to a black wall, which a hand appears from that grabs Link and drags him into an entirely different world, where his body suddenly transforms into a wolf. He is then captured and imprisoned in Hyrule Castle, where he meets an imp-like creature named Midna. Once they escape their cell, they travel through the castle and find Princess Zelda, who explains that the kingdom of Hyrule has been taken over by the evil Zant, the king of the Twilight Realm, who has covered the entire land in twilight. Link and Midna must now restore light to Hyrule and find the Fused Shadows in order to defeat Zant.
