Nope, it stops at "The End" just like all of the other Zelda games do other than WindWaker.  I just beat the game myself, and as far as the ending goes it was great and kind of puts a tear to your eye but it didn't explain anything that we speculated it would... which means that there is definitely room for another Zelda entry.  I can think of a ton of unanswered questions like....

How did the Master Sword lose the "Power to repel evil"?

How did Hyrule flood?

How did the triforce of courage get scattered anyway?

What happend to the Sacred Realm?

So may questions I thought would get answered in TP and really.... they didn't.  Now that I have played TP WW makes absolutely no sense to me.  How did Ganondorf magically come back to life after he so obviously was killed in TP?  Well, I was at least touched when Midna broke the mirror.... the initial interpretation is that she purposely did it that way a disaster like what had just happend with Zant wouldn't happen ever again.  It really is sad though to think that it will be another at least 2 years before we get another Zelda entry.

OH MY GOD!!! YOU DIDNT GET THE FINAL SCENE?! THATS WHAT MADE THE ENDING SO GODLY!! (yeah yeah i said i was leaving) BUT when i saw this i understood why a lot of ppl said that they thought TP left them hanging... I got the final scene and that made my heart drop... Wonder why you didnt get it?... Oh well, good to see you changed your opinion on TP.

[QUOTE="Squidward117"]Now wait... Should I even buy TP? It sorta sounds like garbage after what you said Revolutionfreak. I mean, it MUST be worth a buy. Maybe I should wait and let it drop to $20?REVOLUTIONfreak
I never said it was garbage... I just said I dont like it as much as the other Zelda games

:o as long as its just graphics wise thats good. I love Twilight Princess, but have never played more than 4 hours strait in a row

To be honest, compared to other Zelda games I think Twilight Princess sucks. The world doesn't feel as lively and doesn't have as much personality as other worlds. For example, Clock Town in MM perhaps showed the best example of how much personality people and towns in games can have, everything about it was near flawless. Even OoT had a better world than TP, I think it is stupid that they held back on so much in TP. Castle Town is relatively small compared to Clock Town, there pretty much is no Goron City, and Zora's Domain is laughable in TP because it lacks the structure of Zora's Domain in OoT. Had TP had a better overworld (and I dont mean size exactly) I would probably like it a lot better than WW and MM. However to me, especially in our GOTY competition going on, to give TP GOTY simply because it is Zelda is ridiculous. In my mind, TP may not be a flop by any means, but it is a disappointment. Luckily though, the dungeons so far are some of the best I have yet to experience in a Zelda game (Goron Mines being my favorite dungeon ever)

So pretty much what you are saying is that TP sucks just because the world isnt very lively... How does that make sense? Did the story mean nothing to you? Its like playing a game for its grafics, you lose sight of what is actually important. Ok so Castle town isnt as "personality filled" as you would like it, but how long did you actually spend there? Not long i would think. The same goes for Zoras domain. The town you start out in is large and is full of personality. Besides you spend way more time in dungeons, that you said you love, than you do outside anyway. TP exceeded all my expectations and had me waiting for the next scene over and over again. I could understand you saying it sucks if the controls were crappy, the story had nothing to do with anything, or if it was unimaginably hard but saying that the world doesnt have personality is no reason to say a game is disappointing. The way the game has everything set up and how the story all comes together at the end is what really matters. You can be disappointed with TP over the little things but I personally believe that the game had more creativity and thought put into it than any I've ever played. The only bad thing about it to me was that it had to end.

TP has the least creativity of all the Zelda games IMO... and that is where it failed and is why I now understand Jeff's point of view. It lacks progression for the series.... sure, the dungeon is great and the story is pretty good (I enjoy the story, I never said that I didn't), but the fact that everything feels so predictable is almost annoying. Lets put it this way, if you start the game expecting an Ocarina killer like I did you will be greatly disappointed. The fact that the overworld lacks as much personality is indeed a blow to the series because that is a big part of why the Zelda series is so great. It was the first free roam game period, and therefore gave more personality to the world than other games.TP however, lacks all of that... other than Ordon village which I will agree does have more personality than other towns. Castle Town was a big disappointment though, honestly all they had to do was make it setup similar to clock town, put in a "shoot the rupee with an arrow" minigame, and put up a few characters with problems and Id have been happy. Instead, I got a pretty small area that (so far) doesnt have a rupee shooting minigame like I usually enjoy, and the only needy civilians I have found so far is the goron and the bratty little girl that wants to dance with her damn bugs lol. I dont want people to think Im bashing the game, because believe me I love the series, OoT is my favorite game. However, TP is... in a sense... the beginning of the end of the series unless they do something different like they promised with the series. Before TP, I hated the idea of a different kind of Zelda game, now I am all for it. Hopefully something will happen in the next half of TP (as you can remember I havent had my console for nearly two weeks so I havent beat the game yet) to change my mind on some of this. Well, at least the fishing is good :P

If you really think that TP is the least creative, you really dont know what you're talking about.

I think it would be stupid just to hand over GOTY to Zelda just because it is Zelda.... chances are I will vote for it but I will consider New Super Mario Bros. for sure, I thought it was an amazing gameREVOLUTIONfreak
If you could just beat it. You would understand.

I agree with everything but TP... the motion controls work and everything but they aren't revolutionary by any means, they really do feel tacked onto the game just for more sales.  While TP is an amazing game, it doesn't make the impact OoT did or any other Zelda game for that matter.  Regardless, it is a great game though and everyone that plays it will likely enjoy it.... especially the story since it refers back to OoT a lotREVOLUTIONfreak
WHY MUST YOU CONTINUE TAKING DOWN TP?!!!

I was impressed by the grafics on this game. I knew they would be good but seriously i was amazed. The water is the best i've ever seen. And just looking over the Gerudo Desert is extremely cool, especially with all the stars in the sky...

Well, personally I dont think TP lived up to the expectations... it is a good game but it seems to lack some of the quality in the other Zelda games.

When I think about it, sure, MPH may not be GOTY but New Super Mario Bros. could give TP a run for its money
