Well, I think you're the first person to ever tell me that, so.... here's that. Sorry, I just don't see how you can see it that way. Faron Woods alone! |
You must have skipped all those Twilight Princess threads for the last 2 years then. My views are not alone.
And it doesn't come down to me thinking the game sucks compared to another Zelda game or me obsessing over one Zelda game and thinking Majoras Mask should be 'like' it. I have liked nearly all Zelda games that have come before and to a certain extent, I liked Twilight Princess. But not for the same reason as the past Zelda games. Twilight Princess focused heavily on production values, story and characters (like Midna). And while some of those characters were great (Midna probably the best character in a Zeldga game yet) and the graphics were amazing, the gameplay wasn't as good as past Zelda titles. It was as I described, long and arjuious with even bouts of tediousness; such as having to do the stupid puzzle with the statues to get the Master Sword or collecting soup items for an Abominable Snowmans wife....nearly everything about the game screamed stalling and busy work and fetch quest instead of the usual strong Zelda level design. I mean, are we playing Zelda or Resident Evil?
It also doesn't help that the farther you go into the game, the longer the levels get and the less interesting the game gets. Probably the most interesting thing to do in the whole game was climbing on ceilings with the Iron Boots. And you do that early on.
