More people love Twilight Princess more than Ocarina of Time. The love of this game has hit critical mass and it's pouring out.
>>
I don't think that's true. But I love Twilight Princess, and that's enough.
>>
Bring back TP aesthetic, if you were someone that complained about WW yet ate up botw you need to kys
>>
>>739596893
I doubt that lol, but it is getting lots of love thanks to the pc port and that's good. It's a great game but it has serious flaws that hold it back from being as good as the 64 games.
I also think people are nostalgic for the aesthetic of TP and this incarnation of Link. People have wanted another serious adult Link game since that Wii U tech demo, and we never really got it. I don't think TP would beat OOT or even BOTW in a best Zelda game poll, but I think there's a good shot this Link would win a poll for best version of the character.

TP was the last real Zelda game we got.

Probably not true, but I personally love Twilight Princess a bit more than Ocarina of Time.

A Link Between Worlds is good.

I really want to play twilight princess but the beginning is so boring that I drop it. Tried twice. Same thing with rdr2

That is definitely not true.

For me? It's Wind Waker.
>>
>>739601201
nta but the first half hour of the game is tutorials and minigames, then the next hour or so is in wolf form. It takes nearly 2 hours from launching the game to getting free control of your character
>>
>>739601923
You can't skip all of the wolf Link segments but you can skip the beginning of the game with a few skips like back in time.

It's the Zelda cycle. After the next Zelda game, you'll have lil zoomies preaching that Skyward Sword was a misunderstood masterpiece, after they watch a 6 hour essay on Youtube from their heckin' favorite eceleb.
>>
>>739602185
SS is no masterpiece, but it's definitely hated way more than it deserves

Twilight Princess is my clear favorite of the series. I'm still hoping for a new Zelda with the same vibes.

TP was the first Zelda that I didn't love.
>>
>>739602185
>>739602234
yeah I would be happy if Skyward got a reappraisal, people were way too harsh on it. it's true that the "Zelda cycle" sometimes leads to a game.being overhyped in retrospect, but people have got to realize that sometimes they are too harsh on a game at release too. I liked Skyward a lot on release, only to come online and see all the intense criticism it was getting and for a bit I started to convince myself it was a bad game. until I snapped out of it and realized, wait, why am I letting online discourse taint my enjoyment. it goes both ways.
>>
>>739606658
I didn't get into skyward at launch because I had grown up and had other things going on. I revisited it later and found it great. Obviously not the same experience as playing it as a kid would have been, but the game is great nonetheless.

Now were that type of adventure games absolutely mogged to hell by Skyrim? Absolutely. Every teen or older played Skyrim, and Skyward Sword wasn't impressive in any way afterwards.

>Wii babies now outnumber N64 Chads online!!!
What a sad, sad truth

>>739596893
I like both games and I'm glad both have PC ports now but I don't agree TP is better than OOT.
>>
>>739606658
Nah people who played it on release won't change their mind the constant intrusive handholding and shallow gimmicky swordplay that needed regular recalibration to maintain accurate inputs overshadowed the genuinely great aspects of the game.

>>739596893
TP isn't that great. It just retreads the exact same stuff that OoT did but with less engaging tools to find and a significantly blander overworld. It was also the first Zelda game to re-use an entire plot structure 1:1; the game follows OoT's plot beat-for-beat, bringing back the six sages, bringing back a Ganondorf origin story, bringing back the Master Sword after the first 3 dungeons, bringing back Zelda fucking off and then not coming back til the very end, bringing back the Triforce being a temptation of evil. The visuals have also aged like milk while OoT still has that N64 charm.
Outside of the endless retreading, the only thing this game does better than OoT is the companion.
>>
>>739607235
>It was also the first Zelda game to re-use an entire plot structure 1:1
Don't compare OoT to LttP, it will blow your mind.
>>
>>739607052
I legitimately never had any issues with the motion controls my whole play through. thought I was crazy when I saw everybody complaining about how they were broken. like, they were gimmicky, and it probably would have been a better game if it was built around regular controls, but they didn't really hamper my experience that much.
the handholding was a real problem, yeah. so was the sort of claustrophobic feeling of the world.

I'm not saying it needs to be reappraised as a masterpiece or anything, it's undoubtedly a flawed game. I just don't think it was AS bad as some of the online discourse would have you believe, that's all.
>>
>>739607342
>it probably would have been a better game if it was built around regular controls
I like it more because it has motion controls. Otherwise it would play just the same as oot or ww, and I don't need more of the same.
>>
>>739596893
Best Zelda game by far, and I played Ocarina, Majora's, and Windwaker before TP.
It feels kind of in the same vein as Pokemon Coliseum. Like being aimed more for a young teen audience, than either a child or annoying late teen/young adult audience. That little bit of edge, the slightly more mature vibe but not fully. Just appeals to my soul still, after all these years.

>>739601490
I would love the Wind Waker setting but in the grittier style of TP.
But I legit don't think this style can be replicated anymore. Everything now is either made for drooling retard Cocomelon kids or millennials still stuck in their Y/A novel mindsets. Nothing hits that rebellious, slightly edgy vibe anymore of the late 90's/early 2000's.
>>
>>739607342
>I legitimately never had any issues with the motion controls my whole play through
I wish that was my experience after like 30 minutes of play and the Wii mote started getting warm the accuracy just went allover the place even with motion plus it needed recalibrating every 10/15 minutes it really hampered the flow of the game.
>>
>>739596893
I grew up with ocarina of time and Twilight princess is just better.

It really is just resident evil 1 remake of Zelda.
>>
>>739607505
yeah I've heard enough horror stories that I have to believe them, I just never had any issues myself somehow. I almost have to wonder if wiimote calibration varied between individual units or something. I don't know. I wonder how it plays with joycons, I haven't played the HD version.
>>
>>739607235
>bringing back the six sages
iirc, don't the sages in TP just kind of show up and monologue at you a bit? it's not really your objective to seek them out, you're after the twilight shards or whatever.
if TP is a retelling of OOT than so is WW, cause it also has Ganondorf, the Master Sword, and the sages actually play en even bigger role than they do in TP.
but the reality is all three games are just retellings of LTTP.

I just unfroze the zora how far in the game am I?

About 25% of the way through once you've finished this part

Come on man. Shouldn't have to learn glitches just for this.
Most of the game is great, but the pre amble is unbearably slow, tedious and condescending.

I would like to play SS, but the motion controls instantly kill it for me. There's no way to play it emulated with no motion control, right?
>>
>>739602185
Not really TP's Zelda cycle already happened. It should be SS getting hyped now, but that game was so shit it broke the Zelda cycle.
>>
>>739610540
If you play it on switch the motion controls are binded to the stick.
No need for swinging around like a retard.
Its a far better experience but the game is still mid

excellent!

The SS dungeons are really good though. It's the rest of the game thats mid.
Ancient Cistern and the Sand Ship (except the boss) are seriously good for example.

They are but the way they separate the world up makes me want to vomit.
They mind as well went with a level select menu.

Zelda is the twilight princess.
Midna calls her it.

Midna is the princess of the Twilight World

My favorite games in the series are both OoT and TP. And you're never gonna guess what my third favorite is. That's right, it's Zelda 1 on NES.
>>
>>739610840
Dungeons got really good in TP and in SS they got pretty much perfect. So well designed all around, I can't imagine significantly improving upon them. Unless the puzzles would be opened up for more creative solutions.
>>
>>739596893
>game is a shameless rehash of OoT featuring the worst, most irrelevant Zelda in the series
>shitty gimmick items that don't exist outside their dungeon
>Midna notwithstanding, game is ugly as fuck with grotesque characters
>intro lasts forever, forcing you to interact with the aforementioned fuckugly NPCs for ages
Yeah, Midna as a companion is great and the game has a cool aesthetic (when you're not subjected to the goblin ass characters), but it's a budget copy of OoT in most aspects that matter. Especially since all the cool plot threads get hardcore rugpulled to force the same ending fight as OoT.
>>
>>739596893
I got past the City in the Sky and 15 hearts and I've got to tap out for a while. I'm starting to think that modeling the 'ideal' way to play a Zelda game after completion is retarded, at least when the main quest has as many segments of pure padding as TP does. I had a good time but I feel like the game left its stride a minute ago.
When Courage Reborn comes out, I'm just gonna do the 3 heart challenge.

The Zelda cycle is tendie cope to rationalize why their first Zelda isn't popular and never will be. The term originated with WWtoddlers and anybody that uses it should not be taken seriously because they're not even Zelda fans.
>>
>>739597592
what is frame interpolation and delta time
>>
>>739611006
Lol lmao
>>
>>739616894
tl;dr: "frame interpolation" takes a game whose logic is capped at 30fps and makes it create (real) frames at higher framerates. however, it still updates at 30fps so a 0.03 second input delay exists. "delta time" is a way of coding that makes game logic work at any framerate, and the higher the framerate the less input lag there is.

so dusk has smooth high frames, but it isn't as responsive as courage reborn
>>
>>739610237
I remember the Zora queen in Kakariko very vividly. The ghostly, angelic appearance really stuck with me.
Big Twin Peaks vibes
