{{ElementInfobox | image = ZeldaWindWakerScreenshot.jpg | caption = Third-person perspective in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker | type = Terminology }} [[File:Video_game_camera_perspectives_third_person.gif|center|600px]] '''''Third-person perspective video games''''' refers to [[video game]]s in which the camera view is set outside of your characters body. As opposed to [[first-person perspective video games]], you do not see the character's personal point of view, but instead you see a theoretical "third person's" view point "watching" the character. The third-person perspective offer the benefits of allowing the player to get a wider view of their surroundings, allowing an easier approach to multi-directional movement, making third-person the natural choice for 3D platformers like ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. ==Notable Games with Third-Person Perspective== * [[Advent Rising]] * [[Super Mario 64]] * [[Phantom Dust]] * [[Ratchet & Clank]] * [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]] * [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]] * [[Freedom Fighters]] * [[ICO]] * [[Kill.Switch]] * [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] * [[Resident Evil]] * [[Gears of War]] * [[Vanquish]] ==See also== * [[First-person perspective video games]] * [[Targeting reticle]] * [[Heads-up display]] {{Genres}} [[Category:Genres]]
