Post by: Yeti on January 01, 2008, 09:13:15 PM: The one thing Twilight princess did right was make the iron boots actually fun to use with the magnetic walls and cielings. I hated using them in all the previous Zeldas.
Title: Re: i finished zelda twilight princess
Post by: CurseoftheGods on January 01, 2008, 09:55:59 PM: Fantastic dungeons.

That's about it I think.
Title: Re: i finished zelda twilight princess
Post by: Yeti on January 02, 2008, 12:28:46 AM: The overworld was a huge disappointment to me, and the towns were the most boring since Zelda 1 on the NES in my opinion.
Title: Re: i finished zelda twilight princess
Post by: Enl on January 02, 2008, 12:46:40 AM: You know, they should just get rid of towns in the next Zelda. Simply just focus on exploring and battles, and cut out most of the bullshit. I would actually consider that an evolution of the series if they ever did this.
Title: Re: i finished zelda twilight princess
Post by: Yeti on January 02, 2008, 02:51:11 AM: I liked the towns in Link to the Past and Majora's Mask, etc. Twilight Princess didn't have anything interesting going on in its towns, and no one interesting to talk to.
Title: Re: i finished zelda twilight princess
Post by: MCD on January 02, 2008, 03:21:12 AM: i liked the towns in OOT.

Title: Re: i finished zelda twilight princess
Post by: demi on January 02, 2008, 03:48:11 AM: the last fight was pretty disappointing too. i think i would rate Ganon fights as

OOT > WW > TP

Majora didnt even have Ganon so I nixed it, but it would go before TP at least
Title: Re: i finished zelda twilight princess
Post by: Ecrofirt on January 02, 2008, 05:24:03 AM: The Wii version isn't 16:9 unless you've got a 16:9 TV. I fiddled with the settings for a half hour before I gave up.

I was hoping the fucking thing would run letterboxed on my 4:3 TV, but instead Yamauchi decided to fuck me in the tender ass.

From what I recall, the Majora's Mask final boss fight was fucking awesome (so long as you didn't pussy out and play as Oni Link. Fuck Oni Link).

Post by: CajoleJuice on January 02, 2008, 05:32:51 AM: I had some potion that allowed me to have unlimited magic power or whatever, and the final boss fight just fucking sucked.

Title: Re: i finished zelda twilight princess
Post by: The Fake Shemp on January 02, 2008, 12:26:25 PM: Twilight Princess kind of stunk. I'm convinced that the designers were really in love with the Wind Waker concept, only to hear all the negative feedback from stupid gamers (there are real design problems with that game, but the art design is not one of 'em) and the constant bickering for basically another Ocarina of Time. So, it seems obvious to me at least, they tried to cram as much Ocarina of Time fan service into this adventure without thinking it through or developing a world as fun as that game - and the result is just a ton of old shit you've seen before haphazardly connected together or just dropped into the world altogether.

Post by: y2kev on January 02, 2008, 01:32:05 PM: i really like twilight princess

it's not perfect, but the dungeon design is really flawless for a lot of the game.

IMO you'll see a sunshine : galaxy :: tp : next zelda (space for clarity) type distilation of pure gameplay for the Wii's next Zelda IF Nintendo does not fuck it up by making it all wagglish and such. galaxy had the luxury of being in development before waggle became so infamous; zelda does not have that luxury.
Title: Re: i finished zelda twilight princess
Post by: TakingBackSunday on January 02, 2008, 02:51:21 PM: Yeah. Now that the Zelda team got all their OoT shit out of the way, I think they have much more room to work with, in a creative sense.

Return of Majora's Mask plz :bow

You're recalling wrongly. I agree with demi.

Don't know how you can say the team was in love with making WW. Judging by all the design decisions in the game, it was clearly a rush job.

Post by: drew on January 02, 2008, 04:09:07 PM: I think they nailed the final boss fight's atmosphere, it's just that it was too easy. Gone are the days of stockpiling potions for boss fights in Zelda. :(

Not really. The art design and atmosphere was fantastic - the only thing that was rushed were dungeons. The dungeons in the game were ten times better than the ones in Twilight Princess. Quality over quantity, my friend. Almost everything in Wind Waker was done better, save for overworld transportation. If anything, it looks like they just unloaded stuff on Twilight Princess as fan service.

Dude, dungeons and overworld exploration are the meat and potatoes of a Zelda game. If you bork on either of them, there's no way you could proclaim it's better. That's like saying Bush was a great president...aside from the whole Iraq thing. ;)

And I liked the dungeons in WW well enough (tower of the Gods/Wind Temple :bow), but TP has better dungeons overall.

Yes, and Wind Waker does both better than Twilight Princess.

Yes, I can. The overworld and dungeons are better in Wind Waker. The art design is better. The atmosphere is better. The only thing Twilight Princess does better than Wind Waker is overworld transportation - but the actual overworld in Wind Waker is tons better. Twilight Princess is boring and fan service. It has more dungeons, and none of them are better for it.
Title: Re: i finished zelda twilight princess
Post by: Oblivion on January 02, 2008, 04:59:56 PM: Well, in any case, I do agree that people like Aonuma at least seemed butthurt by the reaction toward WW (especially from his last interview), and he seems to have held onto that grudge throughout TP's development.

Well, I was mainly talking from a game design perspective.
Title: Re: i finished zelda twilight princess
Post by: Himu on January 02, 2008, 05:10:53 PM: I thought TP's game design was worse than WW's. I liked WW's overwold, and found TP's to be absolutely boring. I loved WW's side quests, and found pretty much all of TP's (aside from the one where you learn new moves and fishing of course) sucky.

I also think WW had a better story. I mean, I don't care for plots in Zelda in general, but WW is the only Zelda with a cohesive story, and Zelda isn't a total wimp either. She's bad ass in WW.

I honestly think the only thing TP has over WW are dungeons. The dungeons are fucking awesome.
Title: Re: i finished zelda twilight princess
Post by: CurseoftheGods on January 02, 2008, 05:47:31 PM: WW had better atmosphere, music, graphics, and actual ingenuity.

TP had the better dungeons.

Post by: Yeti on January 02, 2008, 07:50:38 PM: The music in Twilight Princess is so forgettable too. I'm trying to remember some memorable music from the game and all I can think of are the wolf howl remixes from OOT and the piano part where
