The devs weren't even exactly sure what they wanted to do before they started making the game. It's definitely a good game but it feels lacking and uninspired.

>>738830570
they are both good games but both feel underbaked. I do wonder what they could have achieved if they consolidated the development efforts to just put out one Zelda game on the Gamecube with more time in the oven instead of stretching themselves to make two games.

>>738829754
Twilight Princess has pacing issues, seriously underdevelops the Wolf gameplay, really underutilizes a lot of characters, the plot is lacking because of said underutilized characters, and the entire latter half of the game feels unfinished (though Wind Waker was really undercooked too).
BUT! Twilight Princess pulls through with great high moments, great cutscenes, some great dungeons and bosses, cool unique items, and the best Ganondorf fight in the series.

>>738829754
TP is the best Zelda because it actually has a style and Midna is blatant coombait. All Zeldas are boring and incredibly basic in gameplay and story, babby's first video game tier stuff. Like Mario.

both games had a problem with forcing you to do things that went on too long and got boring (aka pacing problems). i think they're both overall quite good but it's hard to go through either of them because you just know you're going to have to suffer through those sections again.

meanwhile, lttp and oot were fun throughout and generally the only parts that sucked were optional. probably why so many people rate those games at the top and tp/ww often come in a bit lower. still don't think they're bad games, though.

>>738829754
Zelda was always boring

from's worlds do not feel like fun adventures and NPCs are boring as fuck (albeit interesting at times)
Zelda style games aren't about builds
and Elden Ring isn't about whimsy
This is my issue when Fromdrones pretend like these games are the end all be all action RPGs
they have an extremely specific and frankly repetitive aesthetic that I've been tired of since DaS3

>>738831813
>underutilized
Nigga you can interact with the Resistance members before even needing to and they appear even in the middle of the final dungeon.
Renado, the children and Kakariko folks. Telma, the Gorons ect... you all interact with them multiple times.

>>738829754
That's every Zelda without a randomizer.

>>738832104
yeah I don't really get why people always try to force a comparison between Zelda and Souls games. besides some very surface level traits, they're not similar games at all. I don't think Souls games are bad by any means, but they don't fulfill what I like about Zelda.

I couldn't be bothered to finish the game when I had it on the wii so a bro played it instead, then I fucked his mouth when he got bored.

>>738829939
Wind Waker was fun until you had to find the triforce shards. Metroid Prime did the same thing where you had to go on a scavenger hunt before the end.

>>738832346
the feeling people had playing DaS1 kinda resembles Zelda 1 and I assume it started there
People used to say DaS was a true sequel to Zelda 1
but no souls game since DaS1 resembles DaS1 so its a bit odd to carry that along
Ultimately they're fundamentally different given souls games don't have progression items like Zelda and Zelda isn't focused on combat at all
Even the DaS1 Zelda 1 comparison means very little because Zelda has been wildly different ever since and nothing From has made resembles any part of ALttP or OoT outside of lock-on and rolling (and the latter feels far more like Monster Hunter than Zelda in From games)

>>738832514
Wind Waker's first dungeon is boring as fuck and takes fucking forever
then its kinda fun for a little bit but every dungeon after feels borderline insulting and short
then it gets extra shitty with the triforce quest
this whole game is so fucking mid I don't get it

>>738829754
Boring, time wasting gameplay is the foundation of the series

>>738832630
I played it when it first came out and I was a teenager, so to me the idea of playing link in a world of pirates sailing on a talking boat and manipulating the wind with a conducting baton was a mind blowing experience that probably wouldn't be replicated today.

I remember playing it as a kid, borrowing a neighbor's Gamecube copy and getting as far as Water Temple before she wanted it back. Playing past that point now with Dusk, god I kinda fuckin' hate this game the more I play, no wonder I wasn't fussed about giving it back and never touching it again. Feels like every single goddamn thing I do requires padding, plot, backtracking, and/or a little cutscene to slowly pan over the solution of the room's puzzle and then slowly pan again when I solve it. Like, cool, I got the Master Sword, time for the second half of the game, but so far this feels like an OoT do-over trying to be more epic and filled with unique setpieces, and every one of them is more shit than the last.

Absolutely not the case when Palace of Twilight exists, especially Lakebed. Palace is a long combat gauntlet in a game that is way too easy to swing a combat dungeon, though at least the Sol sphere parts are pretty good.

None of these three games really know how to make a game, they just know how to take previously existing mechanics that appeared in games and staple them together.

They're contentious. They fail and excel in roughly equal, but diametrically opposed measures, which makes discussion about them fairly tribalistic as well. If you're fine with playing anything less than the greatest games ever made, they're good enough. It's even possible to love them for the parts they do get right. Certainly worth trying and forming an opinion on.

I've never understood why people say TP is anything like OOT, it's such a mindless statement.

Wind Waker is the most divisive Zelda, people seem to either love it or loathe it and there's very little in-between, with broader consensus constantly waffling back and forth between the love and loathe camps. I've seen it change like 5 times in my lifetime and there's basically no common ground between the people that like it or hate it. I only really see common praise for its visuals and music and even those have their detractors. It feels like it has some aspects that people just latch onto really hard, and depending on what person you are you either latch onto the things you like or the things you hate.

>>738875003
i like ww when it comes to the towns and dungeons but i fucking despise the ocean
i hate changing the wind direction and then you essentially just point to your next objective and go get a snack for the 10 minute journey
the tingle padding blows chunks too

Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are both style-over-substance games and it's funny how detractors of one don't see it for their own game in both cases.

>>738830079
Correct. Both games are pretty boring. At least Wind Waker had soul.

Replayed Majora's Mask and OoT recently and realized both games fucking sucked all along

>>738875003
The game is at odds with itself and fails to execute on everything. The only people who like it are retarded.

>>738875003
More than half the game is literally looking for paper scraps and talking to tingle

>>738870304
Hmm, nah. Aesthetically, sure. I wouldn't go so heavy on the story, and I'd go heavier on the difficulty and lantern caves. Still, TP's close enough to get "favorite Zelda" status, I can overlook the issues easily enough.

>>738851331
demake sucks

>>738851392
found the guy who got filtered by The Imprisoned lol

>>738875286
They're both also piss-easy even for a Zelda game and I think that's the funniest thing of all. TP looks like it'd be more difficult but nope, same braindead easiness. And it's not like Zelda games are known for being especially hard, they're both just hilariously easy in the context of Zelda.

Got 1000 rupees from the bug quest and the quadrillion fucking rupee chests and NOTHING TO SPEND THEM ON. WHO THE FUCK DESIGNED THIS PIECE OF SHIT? At least the mandatory wolf sections to collect bullshit fucking bugs are over. What a drag, this and Skyward Sword are easily the worst 3D Zelda games, you know it's bad when you make Wind Waker look like a masterpiece in comparison.

>>738876168
Literally everybody thinks it's bad you retarded larping WWtoddler. It almost killed the entire franchise.

>>738831745
Midna is only coombait in fanart
There's almost nothing sexual about her design in the actual game, it's overblown and everyone who says otherwise is just people who are suffering from pornbrain

>>738876638
To be fair, it wasn't just WW by itself but Nintendo/Aonuma deciding preemptively to bet on its style being the future of the Zelda series before waiting to see how people would react to the final game (or just in complete knowing defiance, who knows). All the Aonuma-era games in the 2000s (6 of them) had the same fucking artstyle, except for TP, the game they didn't want to make but had to in order to save the series. The toon style was basically the NSMB of Zelda.

>>738873131
So are the people saying that truly mentally retarded? Your post indicates as much.

>>738875678
It's a core fucking gameplay mechanic you dumbass.

>>738861281
so is TP, honestly.
>>738872772
these people who think TP is just better OoT just mean the art style. They didnt like how in OoT they had trouble figuring out which way to go despitet he baby mode hints the game gave you al lthe time, they loved how in TP they never really needed to figure out where to go because the game is on rails the entire time with baby tier puzzles.

>>738875003
WW is both baby mode while also not being completely on rails.
People who dont like baby games dont like it, and people who hate trying to fugure out where to go next dont like it.
TP fixed it by staying baby mode but going on rails.

>>738877439
The art style is significantly worse though. OOT still looks pretty nice with its colors while TP is washed out and dreary.

>>738876916
Midna is fucking hideous without the helmet.

>>738877430
It's just a key with a different presentation

>>738877491
Plus, while Link/Zelda/Ganondorf/Midna look fine, a lot of the NPCs look like mutants. The best way I can describe them is as if they tried making characters for a WW style game but then had to make them detailed and less "chibi" at the last minute.

>>738877430
Take your L like a man, moron.

>>738860556
I only see women playing soulsshit on youtube.

>>738877491
the washed out and dreariness fits it's more gothic style

>>738876168
I do not think it's bad, I think it's weak. I think compared to every other entry it's by far the weakest one. Though Wind Waker is better than a lot of games. It's just not better than another Zelda game is all.

>>738851392
Skyward Sword is better than Ocarina of Time.

>>738829939
WW has the Best Zelda and Best Link though.

>>738877439
>WW is both baby mode while also not being completely on rails.
When do the rails come off? the triforce shards part? best part of the game and nearly all of you who actually like the game don't like that part.

It doesn't even have its own style outside for the bloom. It's utterly generic at every moment, looking like the background of some random racing game.

>>738878349
*Botw/Totk has the Best Zelda and Best Link.

>>738878361
>No
Yes.

>>738878359
I like the triforce part. also there are a few puzzle type things you need to figure out before you can progress like the hurricane part that stumped some people back in the day and being as it was open world it encouraged you to explore around more.

>>738878410
botw and totk zelda is the most overrated zelda in the entire series and she's owned by fucking spirit tracks zelda. All she has is having a fat ass.

The most interesting aspect of bo/tk link is his relationship with mipha and even then that's more of a testament to mipha than him kek.

>>738878410
I can understand why some people prefer BotK Zelda even if I don't personally like her, but BotK Link is like legitimately one of the weakest 3D Links. OOT Link is more of a character than him and OOT Link is barely a character.

>>738879320
holy retard

>>738878672
They cut all of the few interesting aspects of BotW Link’s character from the game.

>>738879534
It's retarded how Wild Link is supposed to be a prodigy warrior who could beat adult knights and deflect Guardian lasers with a pot lid at childhood, but gets overwhelmed in the Calamity. They could've at least made it so that his ability to slow time and flurry rush/deflect lasers didn't exist until going into the Shrine of Resurrection, explaining that suspending his body from aging for so long came with the side effect of him being able to concentrate to briefly slow his perception of time.

>>738876629
There's a couple of rupee dumps (Old man in Hyrule Market, Malo Mart quest) but because of golden bugs and rupees being goddamn everywhere, you can clean those out before the halfway point of the game. I haven't messed with the recomp yet, but it'd be nice if rupee spawn rates could be tweaked. You could set it to 50% and probably still be swimming in money at almost all times.

>>738877439
Only parts of WW that's not on rails are opening Temple of the Gods (wooooow) and the Triforce quest. Even the fire/ice islands amount to jack shit in autonomy when the game decides that Makar won't fucking spawn in his correct place until after Earth Temple. I will never not be mad about that shit.

The gameplay is a detriment to the story in BotW and TotK. They treat Link like a donut steel OC that’s already acquired the peak of his power and then knock him down to being a powerless nobody. It reminds me of Metroid games where Samus loses her suit abilities at the start.

The wolf howling minigame music sounds like shit. I'm tired of pretending otherwise. Just very cheap pitch adjustment that doesn't go with the music at all. Why does everyone praise that crap?

>>738881989
I don't think I've ever heard anybody talk about the wolf howling minigame outside of "oh hey they're howling that one song from that other game in the series".

>>738881989
I enjoyed it because it made my dog howl at the TV and it made me laugh.

>>738882278

>>738880913
>I will never not be mad about that shit.
Same, there's no reason they couldn't have had those dungeons be done in either order. Nothing about the design of Wind Temple prevents you from completing it before Earth Temple beyond the game simply not letting you get in there.
