That explains so much ! Gnc <| sep |> Or , and this may come to a shock to you , he ' s not from any state but a completely different country ? ! s <| sep |> Those are all decent reasons for not liking it . to counter I ' ll just saya its a pretty old game It takes so long to get anywhere . I hate the overworld and I hate how Link moves like an 18 wheeler . this is my favourite epona havent played skyward sword The dungeons are equally tedious . I don ' t enjoy a single moment of any of them . The only way I can describe the aesthetic is dry , even in the Lakebed temple . Their designs are unintuitive and boring to navigate . love the dungeons , they ' re all pretty huge and every room has a challenge within The items are useless . Much has already been written on this topic . cant argue with this in the main , but its an issue with all zelda games . plus no other zelda game has twin claws I loathed the wolfinsecttwilight portions . I hated how it introduced us to new sections by perverting them and forcing us to explore the new areas in their poisoned state . this isnt great , but I think its an inventive way of stretching gameplay at a time when games where expensive . one of the things I love about this game is how long it takes to complete . Ganondorf is shoehorned in at the last second . In OoT , It ' s you , Zelda , and Ganondorf . You feel Ganondorf ' s hate and feel that Zelda needs you . In TP , you ' re just some random kid who is barely a blip on Ganondorf ' s radar . He and Zelda care more about Midna than Link . It would ' ve been a lot more powerful if it was just Link , Midna , and Zant . Adding Zelda and Ganondorf detracted from the threat of the new villain . but that final battle is amazing , dont care if he ' s shoehorned in . his design his 4 forms all fun to beat , his final form may be my favourite in the series . The editing room was too kind to it . It ' s about three dungeons too long . Several temples and sections could ' ve been shortened or combined , and a lot of the steps necessary to progress are arbitrary . I ' m all for big , sprawling epics , but this doesn ' t feel like an epic . It feels like a bunch of fetchquests for useless NPCs . like I said earlier , this game was immense value for money , it slowly reveals things to you and I agree its clumsy , but you have about 9 HUGE dungeons in a slowly revealed world again , for the time its incredible . By todays standards this game really does feel empty but I fee the game leans into that with its twilight theme . regardless I still think you arte given an incredible puzzler , that is never too taxing , but challenging enough to make you think with minimum hints . The story is long winded and hard to follow , but this may be due to translation issues , what you do get is a fantastically subtle character progression as link becomes more experienced with the world . I love how it pushed the limitations of the gamecube and this is my favourite zelda after links awakening . I will say that I didnt play OoT until much later and I think that the first zelda you play has a big effect on what is your favourite , but to me TP is a OoT update and it does it better . b
