You're joking, right? I think it was pretty clear from the start that TP would be an homage and a return to the OoT style of game. There's little to nothing subtle about it at all.

According to the split timeline theory (which is admittedly the only theory I've ever heard), Wind Waker takes place in the Hyrule that Adult Link left behind when he was sent back to being a kid, which would essentially make that a rewritten ending as well. And they also said that Twilight Princess would easily fit in between the events of OoT and Wind Waker in the period of time before the world was flooded. Obviously that's just one way to look at it, but I'm sorta confused as to what you meant about the ending being rewritten.

In OOT, Ganon was locked away in some dimension by the Sages you had to find. In TP, they said he was thrown into the twilight world through that mirror by those "ghost dudes", as you would put it.

[Dr. Doom]

Yeah, yeah, I couldn't remember what they were called. But I see your point. That does bring some questions to mind.

Double Roll + backslash. Guess you didn't bother to learn all the moves then huh.

I disagree about the rest of the game, but it's good at least someone was impressed with it.

That could be possible. I never thought Gibberish worked well until Midina did it. It was always the right tone for her emotions, never felt out of place, and suited her character, and preserved the illusion of foreign dialect. I don't know how it would work on a mass scale, but it is certainly possible.

Mission Accomplished. I agree it was a bit forced, but his place in the story was more of as the "flase god" of power that Zant devoted himself to. I rather like that in a way, because it draws some religious elements into the story. I'm also glad the main focus of the story stayed on Midina rather than Link or Zelda or anyone. She was the star.

Actually, yeah I did. Don't try and push it off as I don't know what I'm talking about, or didn't finish all of the game or some kind of bullsh*t. The fight was sh*t. The one in Wind Waker was much better.

[Barkworm]

I thougt the last battle was cool (Ganon's move repertoire was badass), nevertheless it felt cheap because we did the same thing in WW before and there Ganon was a much cooler character.

[LogicDonny]

Well guys, more progress in Zelda. I finally contuined my game in Zelda and I beaten the sky temple and now at the Palace of Twilight. I now have 16 hearts and only need 1 more piece for 17 and if I finish the 8th dugeon i will have 17 hearts or 18 if I find 1 more heart piece.

I been playing this for 43:11 now and it seems like getting to the 8th dugeon wasn't too long at all. Weird but oh well, I'm almost done the game..

I can't eblieve I took this long to finish.. hehe got bored but going to get it done..

I guess that's a matter of perspective.

[Barkworm]

No, it's not! WW Ganon had TWO swords so he's 100% more badass than TP Ganon.

come on did you think the final blow on Ganon was better in Wind Waker than Twilight Princess?

Spoiler:

Link stabs the master sword into Ganon head causing him to um stone and stuff.

[Mecha Cow]

He's joking, but yes, it seriously was.

I laughed out loud when Ganon lay there wailing like a retard. God, that was pathetic.

I don't think so at all. Ganon was a completely fleshed out character in tWW, as where he just seemed like a toss-in character in TP. That can't be argued. We went through most of the game thinking Zant was the leader of all this, then to just have Ganon be his master? That was lame. I will say this, he looked a hell of a lot cooler in TP, despite the girly hair do. I do still like obese Ganondorf from tWW better, though.

Yes. Mainly because he didn't have that queer glowing spot in his head, like TP Ganondorf had in his stomach. That was stupid.

As far as the whole Ganon battle from TP goes, I thought it was epic in scope, but lame in execution. The fact that he just wouldn't die is always cool when it comes to end-game bosses, but it was just so segregated and almost seemed forced. And TMB, you're telling me you actually thought Midna died? Give me a break.

Yes, of course. Stab in the head >>>>> stab in the stomach.

[LogicDonny]

Great news, fellow members. I beat Zelda on cube this afternoon. I beat it like around 45 hours or so. The only part in the final battle that was too difficult was in

Spoiler:

the beast ganon form and I kept pushing A without realizing I need to push and hold A thne use um the analog stick to um make him fall down like goat herding.. Been a while since I did that so it took a few tries.

The final final part was so easy it was like nothing

Spoiler:

Ganon 1on1 duel with link was soooo easy I laughed how simple it was and it seemed ganon didn't do much but stand in 1 place and only jab his sword at me

The ending wasn't too bad and it was great to see things change and go back to normal so ya

around 45 hours I clocked like 44:51 when I saved before the final battle.. 17 hearts and 4 heart pieces..

So um this was a great zelda game but not my favorite. Worth keeping in my cube collection.

Now we got to wait for the next zelda game on ds

[ThirdMarioBro]

I keep bouncing around Zelda forums, and I hear people talking about how they are confused that there were no Gerudo in the game.....

.....well? How the hell could there be any Gerudo left after 200 years?




I found that to be the perfect in-joke.

[Barkworm]

Heh, I never even thought about that.

[Peanut]

...Isn't the barmaid a Gerudo? She certainly looks like one. The skin tone, the ears, the weird little dots all over her face, the facial features match. She's just fatter.

[Mecha Cow]

Yeah, I thought so too, I was actually surprised it wasn't referred to in the game. I think the pirates in WW (The ones that settled in the Forsaken Fortress) were meant to be Gerudos as well.

We're probably not supposed to think about this stuff.

[LogicDonny]

um guys, which dugeon gave u the most difficult in zelda tp?

Mine would be the water temple.

the final dugeon was not too ahrd but fun.

[Barkworm]

Sky temple, I guess. It was a lot of fun, too.
