Truth.
Agreed. The rain, music, etc. was perfect here.
Bullshit.
That music was beyond perfect. I think it was my favourite scoring in any video game, ever- it was just so, so, so right.
And I will throw my hat in with the gentlemen who were touched by that part. The game isn't necessarily pulling my strings all the time, I don't expect it to, but man, even just for that small amount of time, I was worried about her.
Well I just beat the game last night with everything but about 10 poes at about 60 hours. I would have to say that this was one of the best games of all time, I loved pretty much everythign about it, now I must resume the horrible state that is waiting for more zelda.
also, I dont mean to bitch, but I'm going to anyway: how the hell does fucking Daxter get a 9.1 and this get an 8.8?

I am so ready to write the most fanboyish review about this game. I've been playing the GameCube version for a week, and my Wii came today so I'm about to start that. I'm absolutely in love, and not the "everything you do is perfect" love, the love where you embrace its flaws and want to help it improve, but love it unconditionally all the way. It's truly the best game I've ever played, and while I can nitpick the hell out of it (a list which will mention sound), I just couldn't care. This is everything I've wanted since playing Ocarina of Time.

Y'know what made Twilight Princess better than any other Zelda? The gameplay.
Story is great and all, but you all seem to forget that you're playing a game rather than solely being told a story. Narrative is an important part of the game, and Twilight Princess did deliver here, but you're all just giving it too much weight.

The story was alright.
I think Wind Waker had a better story but mostly the backstory and late in the game. The whole rescuing your sister and the other girls part was pretty lame.

Quick question - Can I swing the sword with a button? In order to swing with the Wiimote I need to make a fairly large movement (otherwise it ignores me) and it's quickly making my wrist hurt.
Have you tried adjusting your sensitivity, either on the main Wii Options or via the TP settings? I recalibrated the remote every time I started up TP just to make sure things were tight.
[spoiler:cb137625be]I personally liked that it wasn't Ocarina of Time's story over again. It was Midna's and everyone else was just along for the ride. Wind Waker was the true, epic Zelda title of this generation and Twilight Princess was the side-story, just like OoT and Majora's Mask or ALttP and Link's Awakening. Or, hell, Zelda I and Zelda II.
The story of the Triforce is getting boring. Link saves Hyrule, oh noes ganon's after the triforce, hooray we beat him now let's go home. Personally, I think the story would have been better without Ganon in it at all.[/spoiler:cb137625be]
[spoiler:cb137625be]If it really did want to accomplish the whole "side-game" thing, I think it would've worked much better if the vast majority (if not entirety) of the game took place in Twilight Hyrule. Mostly because all the other side-games have completely different atmospheres from their predecessors, whereas TP really just feels like a hugely expanded OoT. If anything, I'd say WW "feels" more like a side-game between the two. And I have no idea why I spoilered this.[/spoiler:cb137625be]
[realspoiler:cb137625be]In terms of Ganon's absence from the story--I wouldn't go that far, but I definitely would have liked to see at least a diminished role. Like, you fight Zant, and then go fight Ganon--like usual--but Zant re-emerges after it turns out that he'd sapped Ganon out of much of his power while he was too preoccupied with getting back into the light realm, making Ganondorf's defeat sink into the background while you have to deal with some super-charged Zant. Who knows, maybe Zant could've gone as far as stealing the Triforce of Power itself. That's something I would've enjoyed a lot more instead, especially since it would have justified how miserably easy all of Ganon's forms are.
I know a lot of people disliked Zant by that final confrontation (even though I liked it--felt like a big throwback to Majora's Incarnation, not Kefka like everyone keeps claiming), but I'm just tired of Ganon getting all these damn puppets. He's had Agahnim, he's had Vaati, he had both the fucking villains of the Oracle games--I want him to be the puppet for once. It'll probably be impossible for his portrayal to be done as well as in Wind Waker anyway, so they should give someone else that spotlight for a change--for real this time.[/realspoiler:cb137625be]

Then it turns out he's just an emo freak who's mind has completely snapped. Still, his religious fanaticism and worship of his "God" was a nice touch.
And he died real nice too.[/realspoiler:4b81c2c616]
