Forums - Nintendo - I FINALLY beat Twilight Princess. My thoughs......who cares?? :P

The only thing I can complain about this game is that it way to easy adn that the ending was really short.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

I love the game a lot and don't understand the average view that the game is not that good.

It's epic, loads of good dungeons, more cinematic presentation, wolf transition is very cool, lots of sidequests.


My thoughts on why it is seen a bit negative: It does miss the lightheardedness of OoT and WW. For example th non-playable-characters had much more humor in those games. In TP everything was a bit dramatic. There wasn't a lot of room for quirky characterters and events (like the Mask trading in OoT or the stuff you could do on Windfall Island in WW). That's indeed a bit of a letdown, but TP surely is one hell of a game.



Like I said I think its because I never played a Zelda completly since OoT or a disc based game zelda till now. My expectations were amazingly high and it didnt deliver. I love it but if I hadnt set my hopes so high I dont think I wouldve felt the disappointment.

My negative thing with the wolf transformation is that I didnt feel like I had to use it too much. I wanted to be a Wolf for much longer than I actually had to.

I actually really like the dark feel to it. There was just enough humor for me.

lol, we play Zelda in different ways I guess. I think I crossed the whole world as wolf with "sense" on, just to find those damn bugs.

Also have you finished the Cave of Ordeals? It's amazing, around 50 halls all filled with enemies.

But I understand what you mean, but OoT is the best game ever, and revolutionary for its time. Nothing can ever compare to that first time you set foot in a 3D Hyrule field.

 



Hm, I should probably go back and give fishing a try. I used to spend hours fishing in OoT, but I kind've skipped over that in TP.

I agree for the most part.  My only issue was the lack of interesting characters (and thus sidequests/events).  OoT, WW, and especially MM had so much more of that.

The dungeons and wolf bits were ace, though.

I'd say the quality of the dungeons makes the game third for me overall, behind OoT and MM.

I so hated that Cave of ordeales....

How the hell was I supposed to know you had to have every weapon before you go down there, like the dubble hookshot.

Think I got down to room 45 before I had to quit since I didn't have dubble hookshoot.

Wasted almost 3 hours going down there only to turn back before the finish line :(

I had the same feelings about the controls. I really wish they hadn't bothered porting it to Wii (but understand the reasons for doing so). I actually got to complete the GameCube version first because my Wii was broken when it arrived on launch day. Obviously I wasn't going to sit around and look at Twilight Princess. So I ran down to Game and bought the GC version. I can honestly say after completing both that the GameCube version has better controls. Simple things like the spin attack and shield bash just make more sense. It's too easy on Wii to spin attack everything out of the way, but on GC for example you had to charge then spin.

As for everything else… Well I loved TP. It is still my favorite Wii game. It didn't let me down in any area whatsoever. I played it non stop for days. The only thing I missed was the ocean from Wind Waker... but a blue cell shaded mass wouldn't have made any sense in the middle of Hyrule so I let it slide =) I have a hard time decided which is better WW or TP? I just like them both for different reasons but like them both equally, WW has the slight edge being my first Zelda. In comparison to other Zelda titles (OoT/MC/LTTP etc) I prefer both WW and TP.

I think a lot of it depends on which game you played first and how many you have played. So many people say the games are getting easier for example but in terms of puzzles I don’t think they are. The first time I played WW simple things like lighting a torch to open a door seemed strange. But then you learn the conventions of the game and suddenly they’re easier. I actually found OoT a lot easier than WW. Enemy battles were way too easy in TP though. It was a shame because the bosses were great but they could only deal half a hearts worth of damage.

lol, yeah I was stuck there several times, but I went there when I needed rupees.  Anyway, you should have all the weapons to finish it after City in the Sky.

My favorite Zelda is OoT, then LttP, then WindWaker and then TP. Like Makingmusic said, the characters were less zelda-esque, which is my only real complaint.

I still haven't played LttP.  I just bought it for the VC, but I'm trying to finish Okami first.  Soon I will finally get to play it!

@naum: Same thing happened to me!  I never bothered going back, lol.

 



I played it on the Gamecube. At the time, I had just bought an XBOX 360. The 360 remained untouched until my time with Zelda was done! I thought it was the best game ever, when I was playing it!
