| Finale said: Twilight princess also bothers me in a personal level because its trying to be "dark" and "mature" in response to the idiotic wind waker backlash, and does so in the stupidest way possible. "Look guys, dark link with red eyes", "look guys, its your friends with white eyes. It doesnt mean anything, but it sure is scary and mature right?". None of it is any "darker" than majora's mask also, because that game had a reason for its creepy imagery and melancholic athmosphere. Twilight princess is just nintendo giving early 2000's edgy kids, that thought they were "big boys" now and wanted them to stop making these "baby games", what they wanted. And it is dissapointing, no matter how much i like midna and some early wolf sequences. |
Twilight Princess isn't "edgy". If it was edgy it would have blood, excessive violence, coarse language, etc.
It had a measure of darkness and moodiness the same as Ocarina of Time did. It simply returned the series to an aesthetic and tone that had already proven to be beloved by its fanbase.
