I don't know once in the future I need to play a Zelda game. Everyone always makes them out to be the greatest games ever but somehow they do not look that impressive. Starting with the weird protagonist and the fact that the storyline is never transported through trailers. (And if you hear something its always of the headscratching quality) The fighting doesn't look that awesome either so there must be a hidden quality that is not apparent from outside.

It's a very good game but every time I started comparing it to the OoT I found myself not liking it as much. Unfortunately those comparisons have to be made. I found the side quests in OoT much more interesting and fun. The ending to OoT is probably my favorite in video game history so that can't be equaled to me either. I think that the "problem" with this game if you look at it as a problem is that not much has changed for a while in the Zelda series. They should try something drastically different. What exactly they should do I don't know but it is not my job to think up these things. I know that this would turn off a lot of fans but keep things fresh.

On a side note: I enjoyed Okami more than the Twilight Princess. For all of the similarities between the two there a lot of things in Okami that I have not ever seen. The Celestial Brush is brilliant and I like the idea that you are bringing life to an entire world instead of just leaving a trail of corpses behind you. I like that too, but I thought that the approach in Okami was different and exciting. Anyone that's a Zelda fan should definitely check it out.

The Cave of Ordeals was not quite as good as the Savage Labyrinth in Windwaker, but it was still great.

Windwaker > Twilight Princess=Ocarina of Time.

Agree. The main "problem" with TP is that it was conceived to be a "120% OoT".

It is a very polished game but lack for the most part any substantial surprise and the overworld was too empity.

However I disagree when Shams says that Okami is superior in every way to TP because the dungeon design in it is the best in the Zelda 3D serie and thus best ever.

The bosses are all epic but many of them were to easy to beat and ,again, not so fresh ideas ( with some exception like the huge skeleton.

Epona improved mechanic was a nice addition but I felt the wolf mechanic that was the basis of the game underperformed compared to other past Zelda mechanics.

All in all the bigger advantage of Okami against TP is that the former is a more fresh experience.

Console Zeldas need a major revolution/evolution in th same way of the recent PH.  

I SO suck at fishing in TP. I can't reel anything in, and I HAVE to, to get that stupid red fish.

I never really bothered searching for the bugs. I just caught them whenever I saw them. I always used Epona when on hyrule field. or warped so i hardly used wolf link outside. I wish the game wouldve have made you use him more.

I completly forgot about that!! Im gonna check that out. *slapshimselfamilliontimesover*

Lol true abotu the OoT comment.

My problems with the game is that the world was waaay to empty, the characters didn't have the charm that the characters in MM, and WW had, and the game was too easy. Other than that I think the game lived up to OoT in almost every way, but I didn't really want an OoT 2.0 rather than a new experience. The game was still AAA and excellent though.

I loved TP. When I first got it, I played entranced for the entire 68 hours. After I beat it, I started again immediately. One of my favorite games of this gen. Can't wait for the next one.

Even if people don't think TP was great, I doubt anyone would claim Nintendo messed up with Twilight Princess. This is a quality title and lives up to the Zelda name in every way. Nuff said.

Yeah, TP was awesome....But 1 problem with my disc (or maybe the game was designed like that?) was that it wouldn't let me save in City in the Sky!!! I had to go through about 3-4 intense battles with those flying things and the dragon during 1 sitting!!! It was fun though.....Can't wait for the next Zelda...
