As ever with a Nintendo title much of the game is still surrounded in secrecy, but previews have already shown the games enormous scale with huge areas of rolling countryside for you to ride your horse and battle various evil enemies. Indeed, the game seems more action focused than previous adventures, both on horseback and on foot.
One major new feature revealed in the game is that Link is now able to transform into a wolf. This gives him a whole suite of new features including the ability to "see" smells and access areas impossible as a human (or elf).
Despite the greater emphasis on action the puzzles in the game are even more elaborate than before with a forest dungeon revealing your ability to communicate with animals as your order around a troupe of baboons in order to solve puzzles and to help battle the end of level boss.
The GameCube could hardly have asked for any better swansong than this, with utterly amazing graphics and an apparently endless range of features and settings. Even with so little still known about it this is still on course to be the best game of the year. -- Harrison Dent
