Yeah, TP had some amazing dungeons. Don't remember any that I particularly disliked, but I haven't played it in a long time.DustyDrB said:
Was Twilight Princess really that bad?

I actually really liked it, enjoyed spending time trying to imagine how things changed from OoT. The gameplay was fun, and I just really missed the zelda gameplay as I hated Wind Waker.
It was a great game. but the final boss was just plain disappointing.
A super epic looking attack takes out HALF A HEART? That's just unacceptable.

I liked it general. Specifically, I liked the art style, story (mostly, I wish Zelda played a slightly bigger part but w/e, see next point), Midna. I think the only thing I didn't really like was the rubberiness of your sword bouncing off stuff, but that was just a design choice really.
I think its one of the better zelda games, im replaying it for the 5th time in preperation for when skyward sword comes out, its not the best or my favourite. the only thing i found dissapointing was the final boss fight, I didn't think it was a bad fight but just wasnt epic enough for a final boss (i of would preffered something along the line of ganon from oot.
And before people ask my favourite zelda game is majoras mask.

I think the main problem was that everyone expected something great from the trailers, and the end result was "meh".
Wait, people dislike Twilight Princess?
I couldn't decide which is better, TP or OoT. Whichever is better is the best game ever, the other is the second best. They were both great, and I thought TP actually made fairly good use of the WiiMote and was probably the only example of motion controls done well in a 'core game.

I liked it very much, actually. Not as much as Wind Waker, which will forever retain a place as my favorite game, but I had fun...Isn't that all that matters in the end?
I don't think the game itself was all that bad. The story kept me going, the characterization was solid and the sword and horse-riding gameplay mechanics were the best they've ever been.
What keeps it from being the best Zelda game was poor level design. Zelda's dungeons have always been sprawling and had many ways you could go, making getting through the dungeon about exploration. The dungeons in Twilight Princess were all pretty much linear, which is why the game seemed easier than past Zelda games. Even the Snow Dungeon, which had multiple paths you could take, was made linear by the fact that the branching paths wouldn't open up until you went through the earlier paths.

I liked twilight princess! I get that people think that Nintendo could be creative. But the fact remains Nintendo is not creative. They will never innovate, get over it.
Well, I loved Twilight Princess. Legend of Zelda games have seemed easy to me since Ocarina of Time, but I personally don't play them for a soul-crushing challenge, I play them for the story, exploration and scenic locales. Besides, the control scheme was enough of a challenge for me. I honestly do not like being forced to flick the controller a certain way to execute moves, because half the time it would think I was doing something else entirely.
To be honest, I think the only realy reason that I couldn't get into was because I was far too used to the 2D bird's-eye-view layout from the original Zeldas, haha.

I think it was nintendo trying to take the best parts of every zelda game into one. It's a great game, it's just not as good as the sum of it's parts.
I haven't finished playing it yet. Yeah, I'm enjoying it and other than finding it very linear so far (not even having the chance to do side quests so far) it's a good game. But I have to admit I'm no where near as excited as I was over OoT and MM. Probably on par with WW. Which definitely isn't a bad thing.
I liked it a lot.
But then, I played it on the Gamecube. Seems that most people who dislike it played the Wii version.

I enjoy the game a lot, but I do have some criticism for it. For example, Midna is just a pain until about half way through the game when she A) stops pointing out the obvious(or at least tones it down a lot) and B) actually treats you like the hero you are instead of just being a ponce. Another is that I'd like to use the dungeon items outside of the dungeons you get them! Great example: the spinner. You use it a total of 3 times outside of the dungeon you get it in. Dominion rod is even less used.
Also it is a good amount better on the Gamecube, since pressing buttons works better than Wii flailing. I know it's an early Wii game so the controls weren't nailed down yet though, so I'm sure Skyward Sword will be amazing.
