    Default So, does Zelda: Twilight Princess live up to the hype?

    I keep hearing rumours saying how Twilight Princess is the best Zelda game in history, even surpassing A Link to the Past!
    That sounds insane, but it's great signs indeed.
    Based on what I've seen and read about the game, it actually seems like a very close sequel to Ocarina of Time, both in terms of looks and atmosphere.

    Hm, what are your views on the game? :rolleyes2

    I'll be surprised if it's better than Majora's Mask. Stranger things have happened though.

    It's pretty amazing. I finished it the other day. I'm a big fan of Zelda games and I own all of them minus those CD-i abominations. It's not as amazing as Ocarina of Time was when it was released. If they both came out right now, though, Twilight Princess would be the clear winner. :P

    (Link to the Past is kind of overrated anyway)

    I still prefer the original but this one is definitely second. This one would have passed up the original for me had it been shorter and not so drawn out. Fun but I see myself struggling to finish it a second time due to its length in comparison to other Zelda games.

    The story seems like it, being a wolf rules!

    But nothing can beat being a Deku, a Goron and a Zora like on MM.

    Dekus = hobbits (or something XD)
    Gorons = good trolls
    Zoras = elves

    Yeah!

    Eh, good yes, but not my favourite. I'd say LttP is still my favourite, followed by Link's Awakening. To be honest I'm getting tired of more of the same old same old from this series. I'll give credit where it's due and say that I love fighting on horseback, and some of the other new additions, but I hate playing as the wolf. To be honest I find it very limiting in terms of the gameplay you experience as the wolf, and overall, it's not all that interesting. Maybe things will change later on (I just got past the Goron Mines or whatever they're calling them these days), but I fins myself being bored senseless in the wolf parts, suffering through it so I can play as Link again. I give them credit for trying something new, but I don't find it all that interesting.

    I suppose at the end of the day though, I'd just rather be playing something a little more original, creative, and just plain entertaining like Okami. I'll still play all the way through though, and I'm hoping it manages to wow me a little more later on.

    I'm loving it, though I still want the Wii Version.

    The only thing that makes ALttP better is the nostalgia attached to it, and maybe the music.

    I liked how the puzzles and dungeons are challenging, yet not so hard that you'll need a walkthrough. That's like the perfect amount. So yeah, impressed by TP. I didn't really have any expectations though, since WW disappointed me a bit. Majoras Mask was awesome.

    I've only played it for around three hours up until now, but it's pretty much shaping up to becoming a truly great game. The atmosphere in the game is just amazing, and does really remind you quite a bit of Ocarina of Time.

    If you don't have it, then go out and get it..!

    Does anyone have any opinions about how the Game Cube version compares to the Wii version? I only have the Wii version.

    Alttp is still the best. TP is still a great game, though, especially on the Wii.

    Believe it or not; it's far from it.
    I hate to say it but TP is basically OoT but with a bigger world-map, revamped graphics and a new feature added in (the wolf transformation).
    The reason I say this is because Twilight Princess doesn't present anything new when comparing previous Zelda's to it, the only thing actually insterted which is new is the frustrating wolf-mode which most people wish, (including myself), just wasn't there.

    In conclusion; no it doesn't live upto it's hype and it never did, my favourite Zelda has and always will be Link's Awakening despite the number of Zelda's Nintendo are throwing out at the moment.

    - Deku Scrub


    - Goron

    - Zora

    Your descriptions of each appear to be quite incorrect. o.o

    Personally, I find Twilight Princess to definitely be a very good game, but the hype made it seem much better.
