Twilight Princess simply came at the right time. There was this fake trailer of link fighting ganondorf and we ended up getting Wind Waker. At the time many gamers felt they got the ol Bait and Switch.

Then TP gets shown and people loose their minds. It finally was the mature Zelda game fans always wanted. The kids who grew up in the 90s finally got a Zelda game that aged with them. It is dark, graphically stunning for the time. For the first time Link did a “finisher” with his stabbing downward lunge attack. The wolf parts were meh but that was a small price to pay.

Yeah this is pretty much exactly how I felt as someone who grew up playing Ocarina of Time; Twilight Princess was exactly what I wanted from a next gen Zelda; the same kind of epic, moody fantasy adventure but evolved. 

Instead we got Wind Waker, which was a crushing disappointment as it just felt so watered down (badum tssh) and lacking in gravitas.

TP felt like a return to form, to what we should've gotten in the first place.
