Word has been spreading that the twilight realm in Twilight Princess has received a visual overhaul. Back when the game was first shown, we saw a stark, black and white monotone world punctuated by the occasional hint of color from Link in wolf form, Midna, or an enemy.

Now, the world sports a much different visual style. When transported to the twilight realm, you will find yourself in a hazy area with over-saturated colors and blown-out lighting.

When Twilight Princess was first displayed, I was ecstatic to see them trying something new with the alternate realm. The contrasty black & white definitely created a moody atmosphere and distinctly separated the two worlds. However, the development team found that playing in the area too long was depressing and boring.

You can see the new style in the following EGM magazine scan and also slipped quietly into a few scenes of the E3 2006 Twilight Princess trailer.
