The Wolf parts were so much better in the original though. I'm glad the wolf parts weren't in Ocarina. Its sad the being a wolf is the most Nintendo could think of for Twilight Princess, especially considering that all being a wolf does is dig for bugs, and howl songs right out of OoT and MM. Twilight Princess truly IS a graphics remake of OoT., minus the character, originality, and fun It lifts nearly all the music, dungeons, and places on the map, and is a helluva lot easier. Midna, the new character really is just a mere dominatrix who is kind of cool, but just not there.No. You're wrong. TP was a great game. It used a OoT formula(the 3 items then 4-6 items pattern), but was original in its story and in many other aspects. TP had no timetravel, no young and old Link, no kokori, and improved on many aspects of OoT. TP was very unique on it's own. It had great new sidequests, some very original and new characters, a combination of great enemies new and old, the ability to transform into a wolf, great graphics, great new music, and a very good story different from OoT. There were better bosses, some new items(spinner, double clawshots, bomb arrows, etc.), great puzzles, a lot more things to collect and do, and had an overall darker side than any other Zelda game. It also introduced Zelda to horseback sword fighting. If I see another TP, I will be very happy. It was a blast to play.
TP did not take anything but the formula from OoT, so it is not a remake. WW and PH took OoT's formula. Does that make them remakes? No. They're original too.
Music, lets see, epona's song, song of healing, zelda's lullaby(tho that is OK), serenade of water, nocturne of spirit, and the song of time are just the Ocarina songs they took. Then, they also took the Lost Woods theme for the Sacred "grove," the theme from Zora's Domain and used it in....ZORA'S DOMAIN! They couldn't even come up with a new name for the freaking place! The Goron City music is the same exact music in...Goron City. Temple of Time's music used in....temple of time. This is just music alone, and doesn't end there. There almost IS no new music. Oh, who were the "original and new characters?" Link's dominatrix, Midna? She's not a real character, she's just an excuse for another Navi. If you think TP had more to collect, you likely haven't played Ocarina. Wow, turning into a wolf? that wolf can barely do anything. its not fun being the wolf. On the other hand, as young or old link, there's a much bigger variety of things you can do, and have to do, without being told by Navi as Midna tells Link. Navi doesn't tell you how to find the lense of truth, you have to know to switch back, and how to get there. The Well is more challenging than the dungeons in Twilight princess. I will say that bomb arrows are kind of cool, as were double clawshots, but thats all that is cool in that game. The graphics, yes are good, but the game did kind of get to come out 8 years later, when graphics were perfected more. Horseback sword fighting, yea cool. Still for the most part, Twilight Princess is just a fancy graphics remake of Ocarina of Time.Music: Yes, many songs were repeated, but there are many other songs, and I don't have time to list them all right now. Some noticable ones are hyrule field, kakariko village and graveyard, snowpeak, all the boss battles and temples, Ordon and Faron forests, lake hylia, and gerudo desert. That's just scratching the surface.
Original and New Characters: All characters except the main ones in every game are new in TP. I would never use Midna as an example, however. I found the pschotic Zant the most original. He looked awesone, but was a real wimp. Something I didn't suspect.
Wolf form: I admit they botched this, and it could have been 5x better. I was just using it as an originality example though.
Lense of truth: Oh come on. It's so obvious when you need to use it, that's why Navi doesen't say anything. Anyway, both games are easy.
Dungeons: Zelda has always had easy dungeons, including OoT, so it doesen't matter
Sidequests and game length: There are at least 9 more heat pieces to collect, the golden bugs is pretty long, and the poe hunt is very long for a Zelda sidequest. There is also the magic armor sidequest, the bomb bags sidequest, and a few more quests that upgrade your arsenal. There is also tons of games to complete if you want to do them all. If you do everything, the game has a lot more to do than in OoT.
Items: I forgot to mention the magnet iron boots, the gale boomerang, and the water bombs. The gale boomerang was typical, but I found it cool they added a wind feature to it.
I consider TP pretty original, and a little greater than OoT, which is also a great game. But it's your opinion, and that's ok. If everyone shared the same opinon, the world would be a boring place.
