just finished Zelda: Twilight Princess - my impressions

I just finished Twilight Princess today. It took me about 55 hours to finish. First off, the game was really good.

This is the first Zelda game I have ever played and I really liked the mix between the puzzles and the combat a lot. Also, a lot of the characters had their own funny personalities.

There were only a few things I did not like about it. The beginning (the first 45-60 minutes) was really slow and felt more like a tutorial, although it was kinda fun. The parts where you played as a wolf were ok and some parts were fun, but for the most part finding the "bugs of darkness" was kind of let down. Also, mainly because I had such a hard time finding the stupid scarecrowish guy in the Sacred Grove, that part was not as fun as it could have been. Pretty much every part where you played as Link in human form was fun.

Since you were only in the twilight when you were getting the bugs I did not really like the twilight parts as much. They were ok, but I could see how someone would have gotten bored.

All the bosses and all the enemies were great. The puzzles were really interesting and fun as well. They really amde you think sometimes. The childish feel of the game got a tad old after awhile, but I can't complain as that is how (as I understand it) the series has always been. The palace of Twilight was pretty fun, but not as fun as dungeons and other places that were not in the Twilight. The colors in the twilight world kinda gave me a funky tired feeling when I was playin em for some reason..

So in conclusion, the game was fun, but they could have done a better job with the twilight parts and with Link on wolf form (not saying it was terrible, but could have been better)

Thoughts, your opinions?

yeah, if they made the twilight parts better, and the beginning a bit more interesting I would have played it straight through. The parts where you are human Link are all good really. Sure I got bored/frustrated a couple times at the sacred grove, but because that stupid guy was so hard to find. Also, I got a tad bored at the beginning of snow peak and the temple of time, but that was just because I was not in the mood for games. I came back later and they were fun. Being able to switch from wolf form to human at a whim was actually really cool, I just wish they had done the parts during the twilight where you were only a wolf better.

They could have made wolf Link more interesting and fun to play as and also a better way to lift the twilight, like a mini dungeon or somethin.. I dunno. But wolf Link wasnt completely terrible, just the bug parts could get boring

Also, mainly because I had such a hard time finding the stupid scarecrowish guy in the Sacred Grove, that part was not as fun as it could have been.

Follow the music, was really easy. But you said you didn't play Ocarina of Time, so you never had to go through the lost woods...you prolly wouldn't know the trick.

boy, that sky temple. Just, wow. Took me a while. My favorite temple, but it enraged me a couple of times for sureGunSmith1_basic

The Sky Temple boss was my favorite in the whole game.

The only problem I had was that it was too easy. I didn't die once, even on my run through without getting heart pieces.

And you said that it had a kiddy feel? You lost all credibility with that statement.

Idk but you guys but i thought there was something missing in the storyline. You talked to Zelda only Three times, Gannon came only at the end. It didn't explain anything about the master sword, or Triforce which is a major thing in Zelda games. I thought the story was good but it wasnt a good Zelda story, sorry i can't explain it that well butdoes anyone know onwhat i'm saying. I probably shouldn't haveover hype it, likei didwith MP 2 echoesTStrike

I guess Majora's Mask was a completely different franchise?

Yeah dude i thought the game was pretty good overall but the twilight parts really started to piss me off because it would usually take over an hour for me to find on them bugsStealYoFace

My fav was the snow mansion. It was just so flavorful and the yeti couple were awesome.

Thanks for sharing. I think it looked very good, played well but Midna was a bit annoying and for some reason, I became bored after about 10 hours. I did beat it like 99.8% though, never finished Roll Goal.gatsbythepig

Bosses where far to easy I hope metroid will change that...SoxsMafia

Why did you bring metroid into this? O.o simomate

I love how old this thread is and how everyone is just continuing with the discussion as if it were a recent thread.

I'll may as well contribute.

TP is not my favorite Zelda game, but for some reason I finished the game from start to finish about 5 times now (all within 4 year-ish). I don't know why, I just pick it up and once I'm in the game, I'm there 'til the end. Even though it's not my favorite Zelda, I haven't done this with other Zelda game, so that must be saying something.

Great game anyway.

ya i pulled this 1 out when i bought the wii u. im getting near the end and... it's great. quite similiar to orcania of time.. but bigger and better... the end bosses are so easy though... but is that even a negative? who says bosses need to be tough.. theyre just there to give you a heart container and to move you on out of the dungeon to the next

I'm sick of ppl complaining about the wolf part.

I liked chasing the bugs.

Thats how a Zelda game is supposed to be. It leaves everything to your imagination. Just like how in the original Zelda game on nes, you knew at the end you would have to fight some guy named Ganon but you never know who he is which makes finding him and finally meeting him even more cool and exciting.

The mystery behind the whole world is what makes it great.
