What was the hype for Twilight Princess like 20 years ago?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwMdcESljqg
>>
It's the Zelda people thought they wanted until they actually got it
>>
Zelda was hype in general
>>
>>738635874

It was the best selling Zelda before BOTW came out.

People who wanted Ocarina of Time 2 and hated Wind Waker because they wanted to look mature got what they asked for
>>
i was disappointed with it at the time, but it's grown on me

Insane in 2005, but shadow of the colossus literally reset peoples brains when it comes to Zelda and the expectations were so high we ended up getting oot 4 and nobody cared because they were shown a far better game lol.
>>
I wasn't terminally online back then and all my friends were snoys so i don't know, but it's the best 3D zelda game
>>
I don’t think I’ve been more excited for a video game since or before this. It was expected to be a god level game which is why the internet got mad about Jeff Gerstmann’s 8.8 review. In retrospect he was generous.

Fucking retard, Twilight Princess was the best selling Zelda game up until BotW and it wasn't even close.
>>
>>738636523
Not really, no.
>>
>>738636732
>Twilight Princess was the best selling Zelda gam
because it was the only wii launch title on shelves

>>738636817
You must not have been there.

>>738636830
I was there. You're just wrong.

I got a DVD from a Nintendo Power magazine with the trailer on it. That's how we watched trailers back then. I rewatched that trailer a dozen times, it set my imagination ablaze.

Dumb bait post. Don't try to just bring in some irrelevant game because you're a fanboy. Most people had and still have no clue SotC even exists even though it's a great game. Twilight Princess had hype on part with the FF7 Remake or Skyrim announcements because practically every normalfag who ever stood in the same room as a Nintendo 64 knew what Ocarina of Time was, and TP was regarded as a return to the OoT form. It was nuts, and Twilight Princess honestly got kind of a cool reception, particularly the Wii version, because it failed to really deliver on the astronomical hype.

Get this snoy piece of shit "game" out of here!
>>
Super huge. It was the Zelda people wanted. People were frothing at the mouth when it got an 8.8 on one site because it just had to be perfect.
>>
2005 Twilight Princess was insane hype, especially because the Twilight Realm was this stylized black and white world, no Midna, and almost nothing known so there was a lot of speculation over what the story exactly was. There was some artwork with Zelda with a sword and that was intriguing for a time.

Not enough cutscenes for toilet princess fags

historical document

>>738637051
Incorrect, sotc was a massive event at the time and changed peoples perception of video games and became the object of comparison for many games going forward. You were too young at the time.
>>
>>738637483
Imagine having a complex over games that are 20 years old lmao. Both games are classics bud.
>>
>>738637483
I love how "gotcha" retards always post shit like this, when most of those "ALL CUTSCENES" videos are 80% gameplay
>>
>>738635874
8.8
>>
>>738635874
8.8 killed the hype
>>
>>738635874
Insane. You have to understand, the reveal for WW was pure ass, even Miyamoto hated that shit

I was secretly excited for it cause the name was so cringe and I wasn't going to say that name out loud.

No he's right I remember getting bored of Wii Sports after a few days so me and me mum went to the game store and the choices were between either TP or some shovelware shit like Excite Truck.
TP was actually my first Zelda game, was never all that interested in the series but again, choices were very slim and I imagine that was the case for a lot of people that bought it.
>>
>>738635874
I don't remember any hype for it myself, and it sucked.
Okami was way better.
>>
>>738638018
Damn right. One of the most kino boss fights in all of Zelda, and of all time in general.
>>
i started tp a few years ago and it didnt grab me. i didn't like the wolf sections at all and the character models were so horrific to look at. not sure how far i got but maybe 10hrs
>>
>>738635874
Huge. I had to wait for ages to get it on wii, and I had Links Crosssbow training in the meantime.
It was very good. Skyward Sword was a letdown, I didnt even bother finishing it
