July 18, 2005 - Online retailer Amazon.com has updated with an official pre-order page for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0009UBR3A/qid=1121719689/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-7803383-0103260?v=glance&s=videogames&n=507846), the next installment in Nintendo's heralded action-adventure series. Interestingly, the retailer states that the game will ship on November 15, 2005, which marks the closest thing to a firm release date for the title since Nintendo unveiled it.
It should be noted that Nintendo of America has not yet revealed an official release date for Twilight Princess. The company is planning to debut the game in America this "holiday season," according to comments from its executives at the Electronics Entertainment Expo 2005 last May in Los Angeles. Director Eiji Aonuma has indicated that the development team is working overtime to finish the game in time for the holiday season. Although unconfirmed, Amazon's date makes sense for Nintendo, as it would position Twilight Princess against the launch of Xbox 360, which is rumored to debut during the same time frame.
Twilight Princess stars classic Nintendo hero Link on a new adventure involving Hyrule, Zelda, a Twilight Realm and more. The game's gritty, realistic makeover has pleased fans dissatisfied with the cel-shaded graphic style of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. In Twilight Princess, Link travels through a world several times larger than Ocarina of Time, and is able to transform into a wolf in order to solve puzzles in the alternate Twilight Realm.
Nintendo showed Twilight Princess at Comic Con 2005 in San Diego last week. Gamers got to experience the same four-level demo present at E3 2005 last May.
Stay tuned for much more on the game in the coming months.
