About The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is the last Zelda game for GameCube, it was highly anticipated by many members of the gaming community and was regarded as finally fulfilling the dreams of those who wanted a much more realistic and mature game than the ones before. The art is similar to the naturalistic style of Ocarina of Time, rather than the cel-shaded look of The Wind Waker. The main adventure takes place in several provinces with dungeons and temples. New to this game is the ability for Link to transform into a Wolf when entering the Twilight. As a wolf, Link can use his senses to solve puzzles and get past obstacles, he can also dig holes to find hearts and rupees. Twilight Princess has received universal acclaim from reviewers and journalists, who cited it as the greatest Zelda game of all time.

    I know it's beloved but the pacing in the opening hours really drags, maybe that alone shouldn't sink it this low though.

  2. LuckyMaster

    Para mí sigue siendo el Zelda más completo en cuanto a mazmorras, decidme si me equivoco pero ninguno las ha superado desde entonces.

    GlitchOwl95

    Bon alors les donjons oui d'accord ils sont solides, mais l'overworld justement c'est la moitié du jeu et personne n'ose le dire franchement, du coup ça pèse quand même sur la note finale je trouve.

  3. AnaïsKid

    Comparé à Knights of the Old Republic, je trouve son univers plus cohérent visuellement mais l'écriture des personnages moins marquante.

    TurboByte

    Tu trouves l'écriture faible où précisément, parce que de mon côté les personnages secondaires m'ont plutôt marqué.

    Navas46

    Cuál dirías que sí ha logrado mejorar esas mazmorras, aunque sea parcialmente, para comparar un poco.

  4. VinylPhoenix

    Le rythme des donjons a bien mieux vieilli que l'overworld à cheval, vous ne trouvez pas ?

  5. Jacquet46

    351e c'est trop bas pour un épisode aussi marquant, il a posé une identité graphique différente et une aventure plus adulte que les précédents, on l'oublie trop vite face aux jeux récents dans ce classement.

    CapucineHunter

    Une identité graphique différente ça ne suffit pas à justifier une place plus haute, il faut arrêter de confondre nostalgie et qualité réelle.
