This is not a conflict-based poll, I just want to know how people feel about it. I, personally, liked it. I feel that some parts of the game were pointless and flat-out rediculous, but overall, the game was good. 4/5. Logged

A portion of the game to me felt like it was piggy-backing on the nostalgia of Ocarina of Time, but even that was alright as the areas from Ocarina of Time to which comparisons could be drawn showed the grandness of the new game. However, the mirroring of the map on the Wii-version was unnecessary in my opinion and confused the hell out of me. I get it that Link is a left-handed hero, but really, the game took a little longer to complete because I would go left instead of right.

There are parts of it I liked; particularly the aforementioned grandness and some of the puzzle elements. I really liked the Temple of Time level. I kind of wish that I would have gotten the Game Cube version though because as fun as it is, the Wii controls get boring and repetitive after a while; arguably that is all standard controls are, but at least I can use them when I am tired. The story near the end progressed too quickly though.

The game was good. It did not fully live up to the hype, but it was alright.

I absolutely loved playing Twilight Princess, and all the statements and facts about it not living up to the hype didn't bother me at all. Except a few little things did feel like a constant nag. Possible spoilers (hey, it took me 1Â½ years to get the game, maybe others still haven't). 1. It actually has less dungeons than OOT when they alluded to having at least as many. Not that I feel ripped off, it just made the flow a bit confusing. 2. "City in the Sky" was a joke - good dungeon, but THAT's the entire city? Same with the Twilight Realm later on. 3. It babied me a bit too much. That was the ONLY Zelda game where I found every heart piece and bottle without a guide. And Shad shouldn't have put the statue locations on your map, because that part could have been a decent side-quest; it's almost impossible to play without seeing at least a couple of them before that point, and a simple talking/hint system would have kept the rest from being tedious. 4. A couple tiny details that I thought were done better on N64, but they're insignificant enough that I can't remember them right now. All things considered, that's a VERY small number of complaints from me for a ~50 hour game. Logged

The only reason I won't say 5/5 is that the game is too easy. Most bosses could be defeated with a few strikes. I managed to defeat the final boss (all its 4 parts) at first try. And the dungeons could be a little more difficult too. Logged

The fun-factor was severely lacking. And I'm STILL disappointed that so much stuff from old trailers and screenshots was left out of the game. Like the forest giant, and MOBLINS. D: Logged

It definitely wasn't the greatest Zelda game of all time, but it was still a very fun game. Oh, and the "5/5, Greatest game of all time" thing was a serious overstatement. The text means nothing. If you think it deserves a 5/5, give it one. Logged

It was a great game and did feel epic when I played through but after I played through it again, I could see some disappointment. Hopefully the next Zelda for Wii succeeds where this game didn't and beyond.

But that's just smart business. Twilight and Wii sold nearly 1:1 for months, and they didn't hold back the GCN version for very long, like 2 weeks? Logged
