The Morning After Twilight
So, just last week I saw my most recent journey into Hyrule come to a bittersweet end. Clocking in at about 60hrs., I was able to defeat Ganon once more, free the Princess Zelda, and bring balance to the worlds of Light and Shadow. It's sad when something you've devoted so much time to comes to an end. I felt it with Shadow of the Colossus, Okami, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. All very satisfying and awe-inspiring gaming experiences. All with characters that you've become attached to, such as Agro the horse in Shadow of the Colossus, and others that you've come to downright despise, like Tingle in the Zelda series. In this game, the character of Midna becomes both a guide and a partner as you travel through the land of Twilight. She is both impish and stuck-up, often sporting a holier-than-thou attitude. But despite that, I grew to enjoy her presence, her sly remarks, and her helping hand. 
It is ultimately revealed that Midna herself is the Twilight Princess that is mentioned in the title, and her true form is both beautiful and exotic. After spending 60hrs. with her in the course of the game, it was difficult to watch her leave at quests end. Hopefully though, this won't be the last time Nintendo uses her in a game. They have something special in this character. Great Game, Good Times...Bring on The Phantom Hourglass!!
