antarctica : a year on ice is the first feature film by new zealand filmmaker anthony b. powell .

this documentary is set in antarctica , specifically in the ross island region , which is home to two research bases : united states ' mcmurdo station and new zealand 's scott base .

it chronicles a year of time spent living and working at these remote stations ; the summer season ( october to february ) when the sun shines 24 hours a day and the long dark winter ( february to october ) where the sun goes down for four long months and darkness envelopes the environment .

the film focuses on the everyday workers that keep the stations and the equipment running so the scientists can complete their work .

interviewees include a helicopter pilot , fireman , firehouse dispatcher , cook , mechanic , storekeeper , storeman , finance person , administrative person , and operations manager .

extensive use of time-lapse photography is used to document the changing seasons and the antarctic landscapes .

powell had to invent many of his own camera systems to survive the extreme conditions of the deep antarctic winter .

powell 's previous work includes footage for discovery , national geographic , and was featured in bbc 's frozen planet .

the film also touches upon topics such as ' t3 syndrome , ' a term that describes what happens to people during the winter , when the t3 hormone in the brain is reassigned to the muscles of the body in an effort to protect it against the extreme cold .

the film also describes how the community works and plays together including the annual new year 's party " ice stock " .

the film 's post-production was completed at park road post production in wellington , new zealand .

antarctica : a year on ice is a visually stunning film that lets you experience what it is like to live in antarctica for a full year , including winters isolated from the rest of the world , while enduring months of darkness in the harshest place on earth . anthony powell has been working in antarctica with his wife christine for many years . after over 10 years of filming , his documentary is now complete . it has had a theatrical release in the us and new zealand , and has screened at numerous festivals around the world and winning many awards .
sea ice surrounding antarctica reached a new record high extent this year , covering more of the southern oceans than it has since scientists began a long - term satellite record to map sea ice extent in the late 1970s . the upward trend in the antarctic , however , is only about a third of the magnitude of the rapid loss of sea ice in the arctic ocean .
the mass of the antarctic ice sheet has changed over the last several years . research based on observations from nasa’s twin nasa / german aerospace center’s twin gravity recovery and climate experiment ( grace ) satellites indicates that between 2002 and 2016 , antarctica shed approximately 125 gigatons of ice per year , causing global sea level to rise by 0 . 35 millimeters per year .
to create award - winning a year on ice antarctic photographer anthony powell spent 10 years ( and nine winters ) clocking the continent on camera : from the 24 - hour darkness of winter to desolate , stunning polar vistas ( blazing aurora , freezing ice storms ) and the creatures and humans who are based there . time - lapse imagery — powell’s speciality — evokes the ever - changing patterns of polar life . powell’s images have screened on national geographic , discovery and in bbc’s frozen planet . a year on ice has inspired awe and acclaim at film festivals worldwide .
snowfall could be a factor as well , meier said . snow landing on thin ice can actually push the thin ice below the water , which then allows cold ocean water to seep up through the ice and flood the snow – leading to a slushy mixture that freezes in the cold atmosphere and adds to the thickness of the ice . this new , thicker ice would be more resilient to melting .

“the planet as a whole is doing what was expected in terms of warming . sea ice as a whole is decreasing as expected , but just like with global warming , not every location with sea ice will have a downward trend in ice extent , ” parkinson said .

the single - day maximum extent this year was reached on sept . 20 , according to nsidc data , when the sea ice covered 7 . 78 million square miles ( 20 . 14 million square kilometers ) . this year ' s five - day average maximum was reached on sept . 22 , when sea ice covered 7 . 76 million square miles ( 20 . 11 million square kilometers ) , according to nsidc .

“the winds really play a big role , ” meier said . they whip around the continent , constantly pushing the thin ice . and if they change direction or get stronger in a more northward direction , he said , they push the ice further and grow the extent . when researchers measure ice extent , they look for areas of ocean where at least 15 percent is covered by sea ice .
melting ice on the edges of the antarctic continent could be leading to more fresh , just - above - freezing water , which makes refreezing into sea ice easier , parkinson said . or changes in water circulation patterns , bringing colder waters up to the surface around the landmass , could help grow more ice .
a warming climate changes weather patterns , said walt meier , a research scientist at goddard . sometimes those weather patterns will bring cooler air to some areas . and in the antarctic , where sea ice circles the continent and covers such a large area , it doesn’t take that much additional ice extent to set a new record .
documentary film crews usually visit antarctica during the few short months of summer . however , this film includes footage meticulously gathered over 15 years , including 9 winters , in 24 - hour darkness , and mind - numbing cold for months at a time . for the first time we get to be part of the genuine long - term human experience , experiencing the stunning visual wonders and the moving emotional journey of a year on the ice .

since the late 1970s , the arctic has lost an average of 20 , 800 square miles ( 53 , 900 square kilometers ) of ice a year ; the antarctic has gained an average of 7 , 300 square miles ( 18 , 900 sq km ) . on sept . 19 this year , for the first time ever since 1979 , antarctic sea ice extent exceeded 7 . 72 million square miles ( 20 million square kilometers ) , according to the national snow and ice data center . the ice extent stayed above this benchmark extent for several days . the average maximum extent between 1981 and 2010 was 7 . 23 million square miles ( 18 . 72 million square kilometers ) .
we all know the basics : dark winters . bright summers . cute penguins . but what’s it like to actually live in antarctica , widely regarded as the harshest environment on earth ?
the new antarctic sea ice record reflects the diversity and complexity of earth’s environments , said nasa researchers . claire parkinson , a senior scientist at nasa’s goddard space flight center , has referred to changes in sea ice coverage as a microcosm of global climate change . just as the temperatures in some regions of the planet are colder than average , even in our warming world , antarctic sea ice has been increasing and bucking the overall trend of ice loss .
ice losses from antarctica have tripled since 2012 , increasing global sea levels by 0 . 12 inch ( 3 millimeters ) in that timeframe alone , according to a major new international climate assessment funded by nasa and esa ( european space agency ) .
a lot of folk have been asking about the 48 - hour films from antarctica that i mention in the movie , and where they can see more of them , so here ' s a few of my favourites that are available on line . the required elements for this first batch were a

, a silly hat or head dress , a roll of toilet paper , and the sound of a can opening . . .
“part of it is just the geography and geometry . with no northern barrier around the whole perimeter of the ice , the ice can easily expand if conditions are favorable , ” he said .
best thing : getting to see this in a cinema with a big screen and great sound .
while scientists have observed some stronger - than - normal pressure systems – which increase winds – over the last month or so , that element alone is probably not the reason for this year’s record extent , meier said . to better understand this year and the overall increase in antarctic sea ice , scientists are looking at other possibilities as well .

under incredibly harsh conditions , powell captures the outstanding beauty of the ice , the active volcano near mcmurdo , the wildlife , the ice - cold water and the amazing night sky with stars so bright , it ' s almost blinding .
turning his camera on the people who live and work together in these remote bases , powell does not follow the scientists but focuses instead on the everyday workers who keep the community running . first time feature director powell paints a vivid picture of life on the continent told from the perspective of the maintenance crews , warehouse workers , fire crews and shop workers .

i feel like i learned so much about living on the continent , something most docs never really show ( at least human life ) . although subjects like the interaction between humans and other animals on antarctica were very quickly touched upon , the imagery from the filmmaker told a story he didn ' t need to share with words . it was so beautifully shot by antony powell whose 13 years living on the ice met he knew his subject well enough to capture every thing the terran is . i love the fact that the movie starts out with the section of antarctica not always fully covered in ice . i knew it existed but it ' s always weird when it ' s mentioned ( or seen ) . it sets the tone that your going to learn something new from this doc , and i did . i got a feel of what it ' s like to live in the arctic from people from all walks of life who do it year long . not just scientist and military types , but regular people like fire men and store clerks ( who run convenient stores on antarctica ) . living with each other in the most isolated place imaginable . i got to see what i ' ve only read about , like the four mouths of never ending darkness after the four mouths of never ending sunlight . the monstrous weather . i got so see what these conditions do to humans like a brain freeze that makes you loose your track of thought and how living through the harsh winter makes you interact with others who don ' t . and of course we got to see penguins ( and other animals as well ) . it was just a beautifully shot and interesting documentary from a filmmakers personal experience . fantastic !

researchers are investigating a number of other possible explanations as well . one clue , parkinson said , could be found around the antarctic peninsula – a finger of land stretching up toward south america . there , the temperatures are warming , and in the bellingshausen sea just to the west of the peninsula the sea ice is shrinking . beyond the bellingshausen sea and past the amundsen sea , lies the ross sea – where much of the sea ice growth is occurring .

when anthony powell first went to the antarctic as a satellite communications technician , he probably figured it would be a great opportunity to indulge his passion for stills photography .
this is a story of rising to the ultimate challenge . having the courage to risk fatal expo - sure and the perseverance demanded on the quest for achievement . these are not solely physical feats , they are mental conquests .
new zealand photographer anthony powell spent a decade documenting his experience at the bottom of the world—from the awe - inspiring auroras and animal ecosystems , to the freezing and terrifying ice storms . but most importantly , he pointed his camera at the people—not just the scientists , but the everyday workers who live on base to keep the stations running . despite the isolation , claustrophobia , and hostile weather , powell studiously captures every moment with humour , pathos , and a healthy dose of awe .

self - taught new zealand filmmaker anthony powell directed and shot this documentary about his experiences working on an antarctic research base for over a decade . there are gorgeous images of icebergs and the aurora australis , and powell makes excellent use of time - lapse photography to capture such natural phenomena as a sea freezing over . what registers most strongly , though , is the sense of loneliness and professional drudgery ; he manages communications systems for a living , and his workaday perspective distinguishes the movie from your typical exotic - locale documentary . in fact powell ' s impressions are so unique that they inspire wonder at the variety of lives taking place on the planet .
so to find himself some 10 years later with such an inspiring record of his time there is a testament to not only his keen eye and ingenuity , but a dogged persistence that we should all be thankful for .

“its really not surprising to people in the climate field that not every location on the face of earth is acting as expected – it would be amazing if everything did , ” parkinson said . “the antarctic sea ice is one of those areas where things have not gone entirely as expected . so it’s natural for scientists to ask , ‘ok , this isn’t what we expected , now how can we explain it ? ’”

that suggests that a low - pressure system centered in the amundsen sea could be intensifying or becoming more frequent in the area , she said – changing the wind patterns and circulating warm air over the peninsula , while sweeping cold air from the antarctic continent over the ross sea . this , and other wind and lower atmospheric pattern changes , could be influenced by the ozone hole higher up in the atmosphere – a possibility that has received scientific attention in the past several years , parkinson said .
in the summer time at scott base the sun is above the horizon for 4 months , from roughly the end of the third week of october until the end of the third week of february . this shows the movement of the sun over a full 24 hour period near the peak of summer .
“there hasn’t been one explanation yet that i’d say has become a consensus , where people say , ‘we’ve nailed it , this is why it’s happening , ’” parkinson said . “our models are improving , but they’re far from perfect . one by one , scientists are figuring out that particular variables are more important than we thought years ago , and one by one those variables are getting incorporated into the models . ”

powell has done what so many other portraits of the frozen planet have failed to do ; he gives us something that we ( and he ) will never be able to physically see .
that is , vast periods of time compressed into smaller periods of time ; illuminating the magnificence of movement , light and extreme shifts in climate .
rather than go for the jugular with the crazy amount of awesome images that are surely at their disposal , powell and his editor have realised that for maximum impact , the audience needs time to absorb the magnitude of the visuals .
what better way to do that than to hear from the quirky characters working there .
it is powell ' s knowledge of seasonal events , subtle fluctuations , and his co - workers ' characters that give him the latitude to try things .
worst thing : realising that for many of us , this is the closest we ' ll get .

the rules of the vampire genre are parodied affectionately in the mockumentary what we do in the shadows , an oddly portentous title for such a goofy movie .
louis lasalle ' s first book , dawn of the gods , was the unexpected success of 2013 . twilight of the shadows is this bestseller ' s successor . lasalle gained a large audience through the intensity and the genuine straightforwardness of his photography . his works are inspired by classical nudes , which he transforms through a passionate reinterpretation that goes beyond the boundaries of nude photography .
the game ' s storyline takes place hundreds of years after ocarina of time . however , it is not in the same timeline as the wind waker which is also set after ocarina of time . around the time of the release of twilight princess , eiji aonuma confirmed the existence of a timeline split that occurred during the ocarina of time . twilight princess and the wind waker are in parallel universes to each other , with twilight princess following the events of the timeline where link returns to his original time .

condensation trails are a common feature in the sky . but those which richard henkes saw on june 13 , 2013 , in rheinstetten , are really unusual . a number of parallel contrails do not only cast their shadows onto the screen of high cirrus clouds , but also onto a narrow bank of stratocumulus clouds ( 1 – 2 ) . due to the different altitude of the two cloud layers , the angle of vision is different for each of the layers . this is why the shadows do not appear parallel to the contrails . also their shadows in the atmosphere appear under a different angle as these are cast downwards . so they “stand” in the air , and their angle corresponds to the sun elevation at the moment the photo was taken . the shadows on the low clouds , however , are flat or only a little tilted according to the shape of the clouds . both shadows , the one in the atmosphere as well as the one on the clouds , are seen laterally , which makes a sharp bend appear . and not all contrails and shadows are parallel because the airplanes which caused the contrails did not all fly parallely .
the name comes from their frequent occurrences during twilight hours ( those around dawn and dusk ) , when the contrasts between light and dark are the most obvious . crepuscular comes from the latin word “crepusculum” , meaning twilight .
dearest twilight , it is of utmost importance that you and your friends come to canterlot at once for a important task at hand . - princess celestia
every day one can see shadows pointing away from the sun , but in rare cases there are also shadows visible in sunward direction . these shadows are projected against the sky . seeing those spooky phenomena requires a low sun elevation , a high object which seems to tower above the sun , and a transparent “screen” of fog between the observer and the object . in the morning of september 11 , 2013 , ulf köhler observed such a phenomenon on the hoher peißenberg ( 998m ) . the shadow of the dome of the mariä himmelfahrt pilgrimage church appeared in passing wafts of mist . when ulf köhler changed his position within the shadow of the steeple , the shadow of the dome also changed its appearance .

on november 12 , 2015 , nintendo officially announced a re - release of twilight princess for the wii u as part of a nintendo direct presentation . the port includes high - definition visuals and compatibility with several amiibo .
this book has some amazing expressions of the beauty and wonder of being a male sapien .
the lifeless bodies of twilight , rarity , fluttershy , applejack , pinkie pie , and rainbow dash lie on the ground . shadow stands up to mephiles , beaten to the pulp .
the sun is perceived as low standing – lower than the clouds . the shadows , necessarily on the other side of the shadowing object , reach higher in the sky , and the illusion is perfect : the shadows must project upwards . but the actual circumstances are quite different . for any observer in the plane , the sun is above the same high over the horizon than it is for the observer on the surface . if he would see the shadow of his own plane , this would be underneath of him and the plane projecting towards the surface of the earth .
there really hasn ' t been ( talk of another ' twilight ' movie ) ,
godfrey said .
it all comes from stephenie meyer , and she ' s completed all that she wanted to complete in terms of this story , the story of edward and bella and jacob . if there are going to be future books from the ' twilight ' universe , she hasn ' t really launched into them yet .
fluttershy leaves the cottage with twilight . they arrive at rainbow dash ' s house . and knocked on her door , and rainbow dash answered .
twilight : ( rolling her eyes ) anyways . . . what exactly is mephiles . the princesses said he was from your world , right ?
kevin förster observed both phenomena on top of the fichtelberg mountain ( erzgebirge ) on january 24 th , 2015 . this time the sun was behind the tower of the weather station and the different appliances at the top of it afforded the shadows . the origin of the clouds was found in the “böhmische becken” situated at the southern slopes of the mountain range . therefrom they drifted into the direction of the fichtelberg mountain . first it consisted of ice crystals and caused ice halos . over the fichtelberg there were widespread clouds of waterdrops , which caused a nice corona additional to the shadow rays .
twilight princess is as of yet the only game in the legend of zelda series to be rated t by the esrb , for fantasy violence and animated blood , though there are a few bloody situations in older 3d zelda games . the story focuses on link trying to prevent hyrule from being engulfed by a corrupted parallel dimension , the twilight realm . to do this , he takes the forms of both a hylian and a wolf . he is also assisted by a mysterious creature named midna . it is set in the
child link
timeline after the events of the legend of zelda : majora ' s mask , following the timeline created after the events of the legend of zelda : ocarina of time , and is parallel to the events of the legend of zelda : the wind waker .
shadows takes what could have been a one - joke sketch and turns it into a very funny , and occasionally even touching , take on brotherhood and friendship . . . it ' s certainly more authentic and realistic than recent seasons of the real world .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
veteran filmmaker mohammed lakhdar - hamina’s strikingly made twilight of shadows ( algeria’s official submission to the best foreign language film for the 2016 academy awards ) , is set against the backdrop of the algerian war . a determined french commander , who believes algeria belongs to france , must deal with a soldier who rebels when asked to execute an algerian freedom fighter . the finale is set in the blistering desert as the soldier seeks to escape . lakhdar - hamina is one of the key names in arab cinema and acclaimed for his epic chronicle of the years of fire , which won the cannes palme d’or in 1975 .
celestia : this mission will be twilight ' s biggest trial . not only will this journey test her abilities as an alicorn but she must beware of her feelings . luna : what do you mean ?
on the november 12 , 2015 edition of nintendo direct , nintendo officially announced the legend of zelda : twilight princess hd , a re - release of twilight princess for the wii u , developed by tantalus media . it was eventually released worldwide in the first quarter of 2016 . while primarily based on the gamecube version , it does feature a mirrored world similar to that of the wii version , as part of the game ' s optional hero mode . nearly all textures and related assets were remade from scratch to suit the higher definition ; although the polygon count of most 3d models were left unaltered , a few saw differences ranging from subtle to noticeable . the original game ' s distinctive use of depth - of - field blur and similar graphical artifacts were excised outright .
simply put , a hugely enjoyable mockumentary that will get a smile out of the most coldest of hearts .
it would be even more interesting to be at the top of a mountain with the clouds very close . so , thin wisp of clouds racking only a few meters over your head . sometimes these wisps cause also beautiful coronas . if a building or a mast obliterate the sun , its superstructures can cast long shadows into the clouds .
shadow : ( thinking ) this twilight sparkle takes as much charge as the other princesses do . i wonder why she doesn ' t appear to have royal duties .
the score of twilight princess was composed by toru minegishi , asuka ohta , and kōji kondō . minegishi headed music composition and sound design in twilight princess , providing all field and dungeon music under the supervision of kondo . the official soundtrack , published by nintendo power in 2006 , contains seven tracks . other than this , no other soundtrack has been released , resulting in many fans distributing un - official soundtracks containing music ripped directly from the game disc .
twilight : don ' t worry about her . i ' m sure rainbow is a little overwhelmed that a powerful being like you is in the same world as her .
originally planned for release in november 2005 , twilight princess was delayed by nintendo so the developers could add more content and refine the game . the wii version was released on the same day the wii was launched , making twilight princess the first zelda game to debut at the launch of a nintendo console . the gamecube version was released in december 2006 , and was the last nintendo - published game for the console .
at the 2005 game developers conference , a second trailer was shown of the game showing link exploring several areas and dungeons , while confronting a vast area of different enemies and bosses . at the end of the trailer , a clip was shown of a wolf howling at the moon . while link becoming a wolf was not known to the public to be part of the game at the time , many correctly speculated from the trailer that the wolf was link , and rumors of this began circulating around the gaming community . at the 2005 electronic entertainment expo , the game was again shown with a new trailer and playable demo . it revealed and confirmed a lot of information about the game for the first time , such as the twilight realm , link becoming a wolf , and the village at the beginning of the game . nintendo released a small number of nintendo ds game cards containing a preview trailer for twilight princess .
when my friend first recommended this author to me , i wasn ' t expecting much . if laurell k . hamilton was so good , why hadn ' t i heard of her before ? one of the main reasons she remained under my book radar was because i usually stick to historical romances and even then specific authors of the genre . the first couple of pages in a kiss of shadows left me blown away . hamilton creates a world that blends multiple genres : fantasy , science fiction , suspense / thriller , and even romance . i knew it would

after mephiles arrives to equestria , shadow is brought to equestria to him . but shadow ' s true role is revealed . also for the first time falls in love with twilight sparkle .
twilight : this must be extremely important if celestia wants me so late at night . i ' ll go get the others . can you watch the library while i ' m gone ?
brianna can see her future , but it’s the past that haunts her . plans laid in place centuries ago are threatening not only her and her sister , but all of the seven lines . as the shadows plot their way to old rule , the visions shift again . her power has led to some hard choices—and the occasional stab wound—but this set of futures holds nothing but darkness .
i would rank hamilton as one of my favorite writers , but for her fatal flaw . she creates wonderful characters and settings , but inevitably she has to bog them down with in your face sexual situations . kiss of shadows is no different . in this book hamilton does a wonderful job of creating a strong female protagonist , merry gentry , and describes an intricate fairy world that she belongs to , full of strange creatures and filled with political intrigue . but in order to enjoy hamilton ' s skill at descr
a number of elements were introduced or changed in this re - release , most of them related to shortening various parts of the game , be they mandatory or optional , largely viewed as tawdry or overlong by most . the most noticeable of these were the removal of several of the tears of light that link must gather at various points . another notable addition is the ghost lantern , which allows players to more easily complete the lengthy side quest involving the gathering of poe souls . to further aid in this matter , a tally of poes to be found in a given region of hyrule were added to the game ' s map screen .
the intense colour of a pileus cloud indicates that the water droplets in the cloud are very small and of a uniform size .
link enters the twilight where strange monsters appear and the humans of the light world appear as spirits , glowing orbs , unable to see link , who is now in the form of a sacred wolf . after restoring faron , the light spirit of the faron province , link receives the very garments once worn by the hero of time himself . he then enters and defeats the enemies inside the forest temple , recovering the first fused shadow . he travels out of the faron province into the eldin province and enters the twilight . he then finds the kidnapped children of ordon village in kakariko village . however , due to the fact that he is in the twilight realm , they cannot see him . after restoring the light spirit eldin , link reunites with the lost children . however , he discovers that ilia is not among the children in the village . from out of nowhere , link ' s horse epona dashes into the village , with two bulblins riding her back . scared and wild , epona throws off the bulblins but does not stop running .

hi . my name is shannon and i like books . and photography . and video games . i use this space to talk about books and particpate in badassery . you can read a bit more about my awesomeness and how twilight sleep came to be ( the name has absolutely nothing to do with the twilight series by stephenie meyer , contrary to popular belief ) on the about page . : ]
link and midna enter the lanayru province , the last of the provinces covered in twilight . with the help of wolf link ' s keen senses , they track ilia ' s smell to hyrule castle town . here , they find ilia in the care of telma , a barmaid . the two have found the young prince of the zora , who has fallen ill . link eventually learns of troubles in zora ' s domain , and finds that lake hylia is nearly empty , and the cave where the light spirit lanayru dwells is inaccessible . he travels north , to the source of hyrule ' s rivers , and he discovers that the source has been frozen solid . midna and link go back to death mountain to find a large fiery rock that they had previously encountered , and midna uses her powers to teleport the rock to the frozen water , effectively melting the ice . when this happens , the spirit of the recently killed zora queen , rutela , appears and tells link of a treasure of the zora that will allow him to enter the lakebed temple at the bottom of lake hylia . however , first , she requests that link heal her son . link approaches the light spirit and gathers all of the tears of light , disbanding the last of the twilight .

tell me . . . do you ever feel a strange sadness as dusk falls ? they say it ' s the only time when our world intersects with theirs . . . the only time we can feel the lingering regrets of spirits who have left our world . that is why loneliness always pervades the hour of twilight . . . .
the ground bound observer is a victim of the everyday perception . for him , the atmosphere is a three - dimensional volume , and the sun is located in it . but all the rays of the sun enter and cross the atmosphere parallel . this is shown in the lower sketch . from this it is evident , that the shadows can only be lower than the plane . even at sunset / sunrise the shadows would not be cast above the plane . the single possibility , which i have had the opportunity to see once , is that the plane heads directly towards the sun eclipsing its own contrail . another very interesting possibility is the eclipsing of the contrail from one side of the plane by the other , so that the one towards the sun is whitish - bright and the other grayish - dark – indeed a very spectacular view !
with zant ' s death , his curse on midna , through ganondorf ' s power , is broken , and she regains her true form . after their reunion , link , zelda , and midna travel to the arbiter ' s grounds in order for midna to return to the twilight realm by way of the mirror of twilight . she promises that they will meet again . however , with a tear , she shatters the mirror of twilight in order to prevent similar tragic events from happening again . by doing so , she effectively seals off the only known road between the two worlds . its purpose in the war against zant fulfilled , link returns the master sword to the pedestal of time , and returns to ordon village , but later he rides away with epona from there . at the very end , the throne room of the hyrule castle is seen , revealing that the castle was rebuilt . this may indicate link is going there , but this is unconfirmed .
the re - release also offers newly added amiibo support . figures of zelda characters from the super smash bros . line - up of figures allows link to restore his health or arrow supply , depending on the figure used . the ganondorf figure increases any damage taken by two . this can be used in conjunction with hero mode ' s already - existing damage increase for an even bigger challenge . special bundles of twilight princess hd come with a unique figure of wolf link carrying midna . this figure can be
linked
to a save file in order to quickstart the game by scanning it on the game ' s title screen . it also allows players to enter the all - new mini - dungeon known as the cave of shadows , which is otherwise inaccessible . the bundle that includes this amiibo also includes a special soundtrack cd .
] it has been a time of changes for steve cranston . and the hard times are by no means over . but perhaps now the decisions ahead will be a little easier to make . there are no easy answers , here . . . or in the twilight zone .
many publications including 1up , cvg , egm , game informer , gamesradar , ign , and the washington post have hailed it as the greatest zelda game ever made . game informer called it
so creative that it rivals the best that hollywood has to offer
. gamesradar praised twilight princess as
a game that deserves nothing but the absolute highest recommendation
. cubed³ hailed twilight princess as
the single greatest videogame experience

even after link and midna retrieve the other two mirror shards from the snowpeak ruins , and the temple of time , ilia still has not regained her memory . link , with the help of darbus , discovers an abandoned village , which had been hidden for quite some time . link has to fight some bulblins and once all of them are defeated , link discovers a woman still in the village . she is an elderly lady , named impaz , and the last remaining sheikah in hyrule . with impaz ' s help , ilia ' s memory is restored , as she had spent some time with her . impaz helps link get to the city in the sky , where the final mirror shard is . after recovering it from the city in the sky , link and midna travel back to the arbiter ' s grounds and reassemble the mirror . they travel to the twilight realm and infuse the master sword with sols , the twilight realm ' s equivalent of the sun . armed with this new power , they invade zant ' s palace of twilight . here , it is revealed that midna is the twilight princess ; the destined ruler of the twili . she admits to originally attempting to use link as a means of getting her kingdom back , but grew to care for him . this only strengthens their resolve , and they confront the wicked usurper king , zant . zant reveals that he had tried to become the true twilight king , but was passed over , with midna being chosen as ruler instead . this decision made zant go into a crazed rage , and it was then that he met ganondorf - - he told zant that he was a god and could give zant all the power he could ever want . however , this was a ploy of ganondorf to help him regain his power and escape the twilight realm . with his newly found strength , zant transformed midna into an imp form and overthrew the banner of king of twilight . after this revelation , a fierce battle between link and zant ensues . after a long and hard battle , zant is defeated . however , he reveals to the pair that as long as his apparent god , ganondorf , exists , zant can be resurrected . midna then uses her own power to kill him .

they journey back to faron woods and after withstanding the trials of the woods , finally discover the sacred grove . link touches the sword and is restored to his hylian form when the small stone zant used to place the curse flies out of his body . midna decides to keep the stone , as it can be used to turn link into a wolf whenever they want . she then explains that the only way to defeat zant , is with the master sword and the fabled mirror of twilight . they travel to the distant gerudo desert and ascend the arbiter ' s grounds . at the top of the desert structure , they discover the mirror of twilight ; however , it has been broken into four pieces by zant . the ancient sages , guardians of the mirror , appear and show link what had happened in the past . after committing a horrible crime , ganondorf , the evil king of the gerudos , had been captured and brought to the arbiter ' s grounds to be tried . he was put on trial and found guilty , and was to be executed . however , due to the powers he arbitrarily received from a supposed divine being , he survived the executioner ' s blade , rose to his feet , and killed the water sage . the remaining sages then sealed ganondorf inside the twilight realm . the sages then tell link that zant had failed to destroy the mirror , which could only be destroyed by the true ruler of the twilight . distressed , zant sent the three missing mirror shards to different corners of hyrule , to be protected by his evil followers .
it is not unusual that one can see some shadow rays in the sky due to clouds in front of the sun . one can also observe coronas in consequence of diffraction of the sunlight or moonlight by small waterdrops of thin clouds . but it’s a rareness to notice both phenomena at the same time .
the enemy ' s artificial intelligence in twilight princess is more advanced than in the wind waker . enemies react to defeated companions and to arrows or slingshot pellets that pass by . the ai can also detect link from further distance than in ocarina of time , majora ' s mask , and the wind waker .
twilight : well . . . alright . i guess there are some things in equestria i don ' t know about either . so , if you don ' t know much about him , then why are you agreeing to this ?
taking place in hyrule , several familiar areas first appearing in other games such as death mountain , lake hylia , hyrule castle , and other such locations can be visited . the geography of these places , however , has been changed to add a sense of newness to them . new areas added to the game include ordon village , a rural town outside of hyrule where link starts the game , and snowpeak , an icy mountain on the edge of the kingdom . one of the most notable areas to make a first appearance is the twilight , which has begun to cover hyrule . in this surreal world of orange and yellow , link is transformed into a wolf , while other people become monsters and spirits .
celestia : yes , but summoning him will require both of our magic combined .

through its succession of seemingly disparate , acutely observed worlds , burnt shadows reveals the impact of shared histories , hinting at larger tragedies through individual loss . the two families , while watching each other ' s back , can also prove instrumental in each other ' s destruction . there are minor flaws in plotting , and occasional excesses - gorilla suits as modes of escape , or soft toys sentimentalised as road kill to make a point . but the subtlety lies in repeated patterns of allegiance and estrangement , betrayal and atonement , in the echoes between kamikaze pilots and suicide bombers , or between ilse ' s alacrity in branding sajjad as a rapist in the novel ' s forsterian vignette and kim ' s suspicion of muslims after 9 / 11 .
. . the team most succeeds is the abundance of exquisitely staged gags . . .
this storefront consists of a straight inward and a prismatic outward glazing . as the individual panes of the outer storefront are inclined to each other , they reflect landscape and sky alternately . so , depending from the incidence of light and the observer´s position , the appearance of the tower changes permanently . the inner glazing is normally not important here .

the situation shown in the picture is often misinterpreted ( photo taken by anja hoff on 22 - 08 - 2012 ) . most people think that the shadow of the plane and the contrail cast on the thin cirrostratus cloud sheet must lay higher than the plane itself . this seems obvious , since the shadows are higher than the objects producing them . the low standing sun leads one to this conclusion – it is shown in the upper sketch :

producer wyck godfrey - - who has overseen production of all the films in the franchise , starting with 2008 ' s initial installment - - said part of the reason is that the film wrapped earlier this year . as a result , in addition to there being no sense of finality yet , there ' s also no great sense of separation among the cast .
luna : in another world there are gems with similar powers to the elements of harmony… . the gems themselves may be difficult for us to control , however , there is one with the power of these gems . one with similar powers of mephiles . the ultimate life form .
there were several discussions on the visual appearance of the new high - rise building . some considered it as a boring square log , while others admired the special feature of its storefront .
in both cases the sun was lower than the top of the tower so that the shadow of the tower was projected on the cloud layer above . this is a very uncommon phenomenon .
hiroko finds refuge in old delhi , in the twilight of the raj , with her dead fiancé ' s sister ilse and her english husband james burton . befriended by the unhappy ilse , hiroko is more drawn to sajjad ali ashraf , a dashing muslim employee who agrees to teach her urdu . her hosts discourage their romance (
his world is so alien to yours
) , even misinterpreting a moment of tenderness as one of predation by sajjad . yet the couple grow closer as partition sunders sajjad from delhi as shockingly as nagasaki was lost to hiroko .
the team worked on a wii control scheme , adapting camera control and the fighting mechanics to the new interface . a prototype was created that used a swinging gesture to control the sword from a first - person viewpoint , but was unable to show the variety of link ' s movements . when the third - person view was restored , aonuma thought it felt strange to swing the wii remote with the right hand to control the sword in link ' s left hand , so the sword control was relegated to a button . details about wii controls began to surface in december 2005 , when british publication ngc magazine claimed that , when a gamecube copy of twilight princess , when played on the revolution , would give the player the option of using the revolution controller . miyamoto confirmed the revolution controller - functionality in an interview with nintendo of europe and time reported this soon after . at the 2006 electronic entertainment expo , nintendo announced that both versions would be available at the wii launch and had a playable version of twilight princess for the wii . later , the gamecube release was pushed back to a month after the launch of the wii .
luna : on the contrary , good rainbow dash . this emergency is of a different matter .

twilight princess starts out in ordon village , a small town located on the outskirts of hyrule proper . here , a young boy named link lives a simple life , working as a ranch hand . one day , he is asked by rusl to deliver the ordon sword and ordon shield as gifts for the royal family of hyrule for the hyrule festival . however , on the very day he is supposed to make the delivery , hostiles appear in the spirit ' s spring , where ilia , epona , and colin are . these monsters kidnap the children of the village ; ilia , colin , malo , talo , and beth . these monsters also take the horse epona . link is knocked out , and soon almost the entirety of hyrule is covered in twilight . when he regains consciousness and runs to the bridge , he finds a large , dark wall . a shadow beast ' s arm bursts through and pulls him through the wall . however , the power of the triforce symbol on link ' s hand makes the creature drop link . link turns into a wolf , passes out , and is taken to the dungeons of hyrule castle by another monster .
intensity , direction and appearance of the rays constantly changed when i changed my position and the wafts of mist moved . and even the inner glazing played a role now , because the light caroming the straight inner glazing becomes reflected parallely . this caused an effect of “ghost windows” in the fog .
for the e3 trailer , michiru ōshima created orchestral arrangements of three pieces written by different composers , although only the piece by mahito yokota was used . working on the trailer prompted kondo to consider using orchestral music for the game as well—he envisioned a full orchestra for action sequences and a string quartet for
lyrical moments
. kondo always waits until he can observe the gameplay of a title before composing the score , to ensure that they mesh well . when the trailer was created , gameplay development had not progressed enough for kondo to decide if an orchestra would be feasible . the final product uses sequenced music instead ; kondo cited the lack of interactivity that comes with orchestral music as one of the main reasons for the decision . minegishi followed kondo ' s example of matching the score to the gameplay and created music to elicit the feeling of melancholy he observed . as link begins to save hyrule from the effects of the twilight realm , the music takes on a more relaxed mood .
some reviews have mentioned drawbacks about the game , however . the most commonly mentioned is that the game , having been designed for the gamecube , is not up to scratch with the cutting - edge graphics of its competitors , and that much of the game feels familiar to devoted zelda fans , as though it is a compilation of zelda ' s
greatest hits
. some aspects of the game ' s design have been more firmly criticized by a number of reviewers , such as the director of ōkami speaking of his disappointment in the feel of the game ' s visuals . regarding the wii version , gamespot ' s jeff gerstmann said the wii controls felt
tacked - on
, although 1up said the remote - swinging sword attacks were
the most impressive in the entire series

i would rank hamilton as one of my favorite writers , but for her fatal flaw . she creates wonderful characters and settings , but inevitably she has to bog them down with in your face sexual situations . kiss of shadows is no different . in this book hamilton does a wonderful job of creating a strong female protagonist , merry gentry , and describes an intricate fairy world that she belongs to , full of strange creatures and filled with political intrigue . but in order to enjoy hamilton ' s skill at describing such people and places , you have to wade through pages of nothing but sex , as her main characters pretty much sleep with anything and everyone around them . i ' m far from a prude , but other writers describe sexual beings much better in my opinion , such as jacqueline carey . if you can stand the sex , the book is worth reading . but if it makes you uncomfortable , give hamilton a pass .
the light spirit lanayru tells link about the interlopers , ancestors of the twili . they had , with their powerful magic , tried to conquer the sacred realm and establish dominance over it . a war broke out , and , fearing their destructive power , the goddesses commanded three of the light spirits to seal away the interlopers . they also created the mirror of twilight , an instrument with which to banish the wicked to the twilight realm , this mirror could be used as an entrance to the twilight realm as well . the two travel back to hyrule castle town , but find that ilia has lost her memory . telma tells the pair that in order for the zora prince to be healed , he must be taken to renado , the shaman of kakariko village . they decide to transport him on a carriage through the dangerous route of lake hylia through southern hyrule field to kakariko village . link , on his faithful mare , defends them and makes sure they make it safely back to kakariko village . after the prince is brought safely to the closed - down hotel , rutela appears before link once more and thanks him for his heroic deed . she shows link a secret tomb in kakariko graveyard where the zora armor , which allows link to breathe underwater , is stored . she gives him this and , knowing her son is safe , passes on . link travels to the lakebed temple and retrieves the final fused shadow and is ready to battle zant .
