IDK why people say TP was a "disappointment." TP was awesome. 2nd best Zelda game I've played (TTW is first. TWW > All).

I find that most people who defend it haven't dipped their noses into too many other Zelda titles first. A Zelda title is like very fine wine; someone new to wine tasting may not see a difference between a poor and high grade wine, while the people who have developed their "taste" can notice the difference instantly (and for the more upper crust people, spit it right out).

I've played every Zelda game but the CD-i titles, and Twilight Princess is one of my favorites - definitely my favorite of the 3D games.

 

You are entitled to your opinion, but may I ask what it is you actually liked about it over the other 3D games?

The only redeeming quality in my opinion the game had was Midna, but one character arch isn't quite enough to tip the scales...

Gameplay was at heart similar to OoT's, but made several needed improvements. I was never happy with the combat in the 3D games, and this was the first time I didn't feel constrained by the limited move list (at least, after you've gained a few skils).

I loved the larger, more organic overworld, and unlike in Wind Waker, exploration wasn't an exercise in tedium. (I'm not even going to get into the fact that, for thousands of years, we've had sails so that wind direction wouldn't be a problem.) I liked the game's maritime concept, but not the execution.

The puzzles and boss fights were the series' usual excellence, and I liked the new mechanics introduced with Wolf Link. They weren't exactly deep, but those sections were a nice change of pace from the usual Zelda formula.

And the motion controls were, with one exception, well-implemented. My only complaint is that the most useful move in the game, the instant spin attack, only worked about 80% of the time for me.
