Now, when this first happened I was a bit unnerved that the game makers made her such a hapless soul, but then as the game progressed, I saw Yorda as a girl who is, for all intents and purposes, an abused child. She doesn't fight back because she knows that it would only result in a worse punishment. It's disturbing how melancholy she is when her supposed mother the Queen of the castle appears and demands that Ico stop trying to escape with her daughter, although the Queen is perfectly content with placing her daughter in a cage high in a tower with no food or water.
Which also begs the question, how old is Yorda? I mean, she obviously has magical powers but she could have been trapped in that cage for hundreds of years. And what's with the Queen? She has the body of a wraith yet the pale white face of a human. You can tell she means business the first time you lay eyes on her. Her intensity and presence is overwhelming.
Weird things are happening in this castle. Which brings me to the forth character, the castle itself. I have no idea who could have possibly built this thing, but it is huge. The towers seem to go into the clouds while bottomless chasms are everywhere.
Strange cemeteries and giant machinations are everywhere. The sheer size of it would take modern engineers decades to build it, and here it is, an ageless monolith that locals fear and respect.
I really can't put into words how immense and powerful looking this thing is. And the traps and devices that dwell in it are equally impressive. Staircases pop up out of nowhere, windmills to be scaled and traps and alternate routes to be discovered.
The cleverest use of architecture in any game, period. Now the link is updated. For some reason, the link was not updated correctly so I apologize for that. You can check now.
