This game was so much better than TP but that being said it was one of the worse zeldas, though there never terrible. Also why does everybody like Midna she's pretty much Navi in imp form?

Rule 34 works well for her, man. And lol TP was better than TP.  XD


XD lol i meant it's better than OOT.

WTF??  Duplicate accounts?  I thought you were brothers, but....posting under each others accounts?  Seems a bit fishy.

Id have to say I disagree, Zelda:TP is no where near as good as OOT, MM or TWW. Sure it has great graphics, but its way too linear, pretty much you can't break out of the normal pattern to do something in a different order because the 50 million cut scenes dictate where you go next.
Too much of the lacking story was told through cut scenes, rather than gameplay as it has been in previous 3d titles. Don't get me wrong, I love the cut scene, but just not as many as TP had.

Also, it felt a lot more lonely than previous 3d zeldas, pretty much you just explored by your self, what I mean is, in OOT and after, you went to different towns that were filled with people who you had to interact with in order to complete the next objective. In this game Ordon is the only town like that, and you leave that at the start. Kakariko is deserted and only has the shamen and the bomb guy plus some kids. Zoras domain is small, and you don't really need to talk to anyone there, the Goron place has a few people, but its nothing like it was in OOT. But thats all, the desert, the hidden village, the sky, the sacred forest, have maybe 1 person to talk with at max, but they arent central like they used to be.

Over all, a dissapointing game, nintendo tried to fit too much in, but in the end sacrificed a lot of the classic zelda elements. Hyrule field was large, but it was empty. The story left all these loose ends which were never addressed, but ignored in the end.


EDIT: You got a ruppee, its worth 5. Ok thats fine hearing the first time you find a rupee, but not almost every time afterwoods, what was with that, was it a mistake because everytime i found a rupee on the ground that was bigger than 1 rupee, it would say "you got a blue ruppee worth 5, yellow worth 10 and so on" it actually got me scared of collecting rupees and i started ignoring them in the end.

I think you only get that message for the first rupee you find every time you reset the game. I'm not sure though; it's been a while.

Okay, I realise now why I enjoyed this game so much.

Because I'm such a sucker for Zelda, I like to take my time. In taking my time, during both of my playthroughs of Twilight Princess, I visited Kakariko Village, Ordon Village and Castle Town between the dungeons... not always all three, but I did regularly check up on Kakariko to see how the kids were going. I was regularly interacting with characters, because they usually have something new to say. This stuff wasn't forced on me like the cutscenes, I just did it. This made Hyrule seem less empty for me, and I can understand what it would be like for someone who didn't waste time.

Also, I did not say Twilight Princess was better than OoT, MM and TWW. Actually, if you read my review, I said it was the least impressive out of the four 3D games. Yes, I said it was the best in terms of gameplay, but I didn't say it was the best overall game. Please take note of such things before you criticise me.

Though a lot of you do have a point. I realise now I may have rated the story too high considering how many flaws I also noted. I think I might lower that score.

Yes, that was it.




Also, don't think I'm "selling out" to you guys just because I changed the scores. I feel better about these scores anyway. I think they back-up my argument a little more.

Sorry, wasn't meaning to attack your review like that. Its definately not a bad game, and I guess we do have similar opinions on it then.

That's not a problem. I love writing reviews, and I love the feedback you guys provide whenever I do. I'd just rather that feedback come from actually reading the review.

While all of you seem to hate Twilight Princess, I actually like it a lot. Good review, Hoffy :). You were very detailed with your opinions and backed them up. I also liked the screenshots you've included.

Not I. Although I would have liked it if the Wii version had stayed unmirrored, or at least given its players a choice. I'm left-handed (although I use my right hand for the Wii... and virtually everything else) but if I needed to play TP with my left-hand to fully integrate to Zelda... I'd do it. >_>

I gotta say, the lag between sword motions and the on-screen swingin is oh-so noticeable.

did you play on an lcd tv? =\  Because I didn't notice any lag.

I played on an HD CRT Sanyo. And I've played on an old CRT that was SD. Noticeable lag on both. Maybe my Wii is mentally retarded? =/

Yes, I actually am Hero of Fire :P. Basically Hero of Fire = HoF = Hoffy. Sorry if I was a bit rude to you before, Redding, you're still one of my favourite Australian members :).

I realise this when I did it. I didn't change the review scores as much as I split them up as separate Wii and GameCube scores, as I thought it would better back up my opinions. No one actually told me to do it, and I also realise that when the review is submitted, there's no going back.

It's a good thing this is an internet forum and not a real publication :P. Thanks for the advice, though.
