You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
But most of all, you cheated BABA

Rating Twilight Princess lower than 8/10 without fundamentally disliking the Zelda formula is pretty alien to me. On the non-gameplay front, the game has amazing art direction and wildly imaginative setpieces all over the place. Almost every dungeon has a moment where I just look at the room I'm in and go wow. The soundtrack is about average for a Zelda game, which means pretty good. Midna is one of the best characters in a Zelda game (off the top of my head she's beaten by Spirit Tracks Zelda and everybody in Majora's Mask). Becoming a wolf is really cool.

On a gameplay front, it continued the trend started in Wind Waker to make dungeons that are just a series of individual rooms but it did a decent job of fooling the player into thinking they weren't by having the critical path loop back into the central room of the dungeon multiple times. The combat is probably the best incarnation of 3D Zelda combat to date. Like, ultimately it's a sort of a less-good clone of OoT with a gimmick stapled on, but there was a long period where every Zelda was that. I actually can't think of a reason why someone would rate TP more than one point lower than Wind Waker because they're practically the same game.

Can't be a wolf all the time 2/10
