I would say the complete opposite about the epic feel of the games. While TP definitely has the more epic dungeons, it also has some mood killers in the story, things that just kind of make you go "Oh...alright. I guess.", tWW just has a totally epic feel through out. From having to place the pearls on the different islands, to raise the Tower of the Gods from the ocean flower. Descending into old Hyrule and pulling the Master Sword, which is easily one of the most epic parts of any Zelda game, particularly the battle that ensues afterwards. Having to beat down that bird and save your sister, only to get trounced by Ganondorf, who was then SET ON FIRE BY A F*CKING DRAGON GOD! And that boss fight at the end with Gannondorf, on the roof of Hyrule castle, with the entire ocean falling in all around you...it just doesn't get more epic!

Twilight Princess does a bunch of silly and/or stupid stuff that make you really wish they hadn't done it. And because of the sheer amount of emptiness in the world, you don't really care all that much. Yeah, Castle Town is bustling, but you can actually speak to how many of those people? Like 10? That's ridiculous. Kakariko Village is a desolate waste-land at all times. TP just has a dead world and it sucks.

Wait, it actually stays that way? I was hoping the world would become more populated as the game progressed.

I had hoped for big, lively towns in this game, but so far I have a ghost town and a collection of tiny fixed-perspective maps with generic copied-and-pasted NPC's that I can't talk to that's supposed to pass for a city.

And I actually kind of like being a wolf more than I thought I would (Though the concept is still dumb), it's just that those segments are boring. The Tears of Light stuff ends after the third time, right? Right?

Well, yeah. I can't argue with that. You win.

Zelda twilight princess contuines to be good. After going throught he 4th dugeon and I was impressed with it. It makes up for the confusing 3rd dugeon which was fun. So far I can say all the dugeons were excellent and each boss was fun to play.. I also liked the mid-bosses as well.

Also it seems that travelling to the 4th dugeon didn't seem as long to get to as the first 3. Will this happen for the 5th-9th dugeon?

Also I am about 26 hours in now and just got the magic armor.. so I need to go to the snow peak mountain.
