Rupert Buttermilk posted:There was an HD remake of TP? Twilight Princess is pretty boring. I feel like most Zeldas have a lot of memorable stuff in every facet like gameplay, dungeons, characters, story beats, etc. TP has a couple of very specific memorable elements and is otherwise entirely forgettable. It was Nintendo trying to make a better looking Ocarina as a response to the demographic that initially pushed back against the Wind Waker design. It's not a bad game by any stretch but I made it a couple hours in to the HD version before losing any desire to go back to it.

Yeah, my main issues with TP are these: A) the starting 3(?) dungeons are WAY too long, holy poo poo. 2) it really was Ocarina+, and as much as I ate that game up when I played it, I was done with that one, too. Didn't feel as negatively towards it afterwards, but I still wasn't all 'can't wait to do that all over again!' D) because it was so similar to Ocarina (which was also similar to LttP), I was really just kind of done with 'find a new item in a dungeon, and it turns out, the dungeon is designed completely around it'. That gear platform was kind of dumb. I like open ended stuff, solving problems creatively. This item thing happened in Wind Waker, but I absolutely love the presentation of that one, so I don't mind the game's structure as much. (plus, I actually liked treasure hunting on the open seas, and yes, I know that part was apparently phoned in, or rushed) Also, and this is outside of the game itself, I specifically remember someone from Nintendo claiming that TP was so huge, it would take 45 minutes on horseback to get from one side of it to the opposite. I love the massive size of Elder Scrolls games, and thought 'holy poo poo, finally a Zelda game that's as big as Morrowind or Oblivion!' (even though they don't even take that long to traverse). Anyway, I don't specifically blame the game for that, but drat was I disappointed. Related, BOTW is everything I could hope for.

TP’s final battle with Ganondorf is pretty cool and memorable too. You stab him in the chest so hard that he screams and the triforce of power finally leaves his body so he actually dies.

Twilight Princess had incredible dungeons and the best use of the grappling hook by far (especially on the Wii). It also had Midna, by far the best "fairy character". It has it's weak points, but so did the other 128 bit Zeldas.

Windwaker was the beginning of easy Zelda, both in gameplay and because I was older, this would hold through all console and portable games until BotW, but at least WW had some amazing exploration and felt less on rails than later games, LBW excluded.

Windwaker had nice exploration but it was a bit confusing on what to do at times. It also had some weak dungeons for a Zelda game.

Twilight Princess is a pretty solid Zelda game with some great dungeons, but there's something that's really missing that I can't quite put my finger on. It doesn't really take any risks or have ambitious changes/vision compared with all other post-OoT titles. edit: I wouldn't mind buying it again for Switch, especially if it comes with wolf link amiibo. But it's far from my favorite zelda game.

It’s a silly game that starts off as putting a golf ball in a hole but progresses that idea to silliness like moving a couch to a hole or golf hole to a ball instead. It’s cute but it’s not worth whatever it is on Switch. It was originally a mobile game.

It doesn't really take any risks or have ambitious changes/vision compared with all other post-OoT titles. I would say it took several big risks - graphics leaning more toward realistic, being a bit darker in tone overall, and the biggest two being Wolf Link and the Twilight-engulfed areas and Twilight Realm. The rest of it is basically an Ocarina of Time rehash, but that doesn't bother me that much. OoT feels clunky and outdated to play now, TP doesn't. Well, the Wii version does, but the superior GC and HD versions do not. TP was actually my favorite Zelda game, though it does have some odd mechanics and parts that drag. There's also a weird disconnect where most of the NPC's seem to be unaware that anything is wrong once you remove the twilight from that area. But like others said, the dungeons are fantastic and probably the best of the 3D Zeldas. It also engulfed me in the atmosphere more than any other Zelda, even BotW, but that probably has a lot to do with what I was going through at the time I originally played it.

Well, the Wii version does, but the superior GC and HD versions do not. Like what Fawf said, I don't consider the graphics to be a risk after WW. Twilight realm felt like a natural play on Dark World or adult link--a separate realm affecting things is already a main concept in Zelda. Compared with MM, WW, SS and BotW... TP feels incredibly mild. And I'm saying this as someone who played it at least three times and 100%'d it. I agree with you on OoT and the TP dungeons. At this point I only play OoT for the strong nostalgia feels. It hasn't aged as well as LttP.

The book is a bit of a love letter/parody of Zelda and RPGs in general, but it is comedy first and foremost. Yeah, I finished listening to it a few days ago. It was my first LitRPG-esque experience; very much a combination of Endro! (anime) meets zelda dungeons and hero myth, combined with Dragon Quest monsters. Honestly it wasn't really my thing; I'm not big on isekai/meta RPG in general, but I found it just had way too much exposition on the mechanics and it just comes off hokey as gently caress to me. Loved the narrator and solution at the end though. Join us in the audiobook thread if you're not already checking it out; it could always use more traffic
