they also complained about the controls... and gave reason to why it was tacked on more than adding to the gameplay. i love how those who complain about the review focus more on the number, rather than what they actually said.

At first i thought it was bull but after beating it, i would have to agree with GS score. I dont really agree with their reasons, just their score.

they are definitely okay... but they are not better than just having a regular controller. how can a game on the Wii (which primarily is focused on the Wii controller) be considered amazing if it barely did anything with the Wii controller to begin with. not to mention that TP has not changed what Zelda has been doing since OoT. its dated gameplay shows.

TP should have made at least a 9.0...

reason #1-its zelda

reason #2-it has more replay value than WW *cough* triforce search...

reason #3- they didn't take into consideration that it was basically directly ported in except for the control functions and the mirroring

reason #4- i dont have a reason 4 but they must of hated the overused final boss thingy

We all feel ur pain believe me...not really XD cause we still enjoy this game so we don't care what GS has to say...just hate Jeff...lol

reason one is the reason why GS is one of the more respected gamesites. they aren't afraid to slam a good series. and for reason three... why would the fact that the game is a port help out the quality of the game?

I thought the score was appropriate.
The music is certainly getting to me now, (I'm on the last dungeon)I usually play it turned all the way down.
The gameplay is a little dated. The graphics are ok. If the GC was capable of the graphics that I saw in RE4 then this should have looked better.

And as for this thread...


Just let it go.

Reasons it deserves lower

#1 Its linear, for the first 20 hours of the game, your forced down a narrow path.  Run around here, Beat this dungeon, turn into a wolf, collect tears, repeat 4 times until you get the master sword.....NO you may NOT go to Hyrule castle yet, get back to kakariko.

#2 Music is an abomination, I think my ears bled while running around hyrule field.

#3 Little character development, aside from midna, the most major other character was Zant, and behind Zant it was that Half horned moblin, and behind him was Telma, and so forth.

#4 Dungeons are short, shorter than the GB Zelda dungeons.

#5 Between dungeons, there's about twenty minutes of content from when you exit one and enter another.

#6 Bosses sucked. 

#7 Wind Waker kicks its ass.

the only thing that worries me is that tp got a 7 for sound.....

what did sonic get? yes... also a 7 for sound....

doubtful that the sound in both those games is of the same quality isnt it?

it's gotta' be the twilight "music." it's way to fingernails on chalkboard-ish at least on my t.v.. the music is an unwelcome agitation and really really sounds generic on a "next-generation" system. the shreaking music Plus (the graphic make the wii look N64-ish. might be bad for the fledgling Wii.) everyone i know likes it. yet, agree.

Personally I think that they made a very valid argument. The controls did feel a little odd, and I even prefer the GameCube version to the Wii one. Also, Nintendo really could have upped the horsepower on the Wii. Honestly, I would be perfectly happy with maybe a half-generation jump, but it seems like they put no effort whatsoever into improving the system's performance over the GC's.

reason #1-its zelda

Battleguild

It shouldn't get 9.0 since it's just "zelda." That's like saying all Halo games, no matter how bad nor good, need to get at least a 9.5

Zelda has to have enough gameplay and new features to obviously give it a better score. Yes, the score seems a little odd, and some of his points we're really valid, but Zelda doesn't get a 9.0 because it's Zelda.

Lol. yes TP was done a little injustice and i think ign was a more accurate review. the only real flaw that is bad in this game is the music. it is an abomination and is no where near koji kondos best work. but thats the only real bad part. people like shirley temple like to bash this game because its not identical to WW and say it sucks. its actually a very good game. its just not as innovative as WW was. which really isnt a big strike against it considering its such a fantastically made game.

  1. hate to break it to you man thats how every zelda game works if you havent noticed. ex: ww go find the chart go gather money to decipher it go give it to tingle, go find the treasure. rinse and repeat like 10 TIMES. ex: LTTP find all 3 shards wait now go into dark world find 6 more of them. its just how zelda works. its always gonna be fetch quests and thats just how it works.
  2. Agreed koji kondo really fd this games music up and is no where near the quality of Oot or WW
  3. Agreed. but when you really think about it most characters in zelda games really have little personality aside from character in MM and WW they usually are pretty bland. but even if they are it really doesnt take away from an over all experience. if you want in depth characters play an RPG.
  4. The Dungeons are just as long as any of the other games. i remember the Fire temple in Oot being very short. the sky temple is actually really long. also there are more dungeons in this game anyway so it makes up for it even if you complete one quickly
  5. wtf is that a serious critism. of course there is you have to run to the other dungeon. how is that a bad thing LMAO.
  6. Thats entirely your opinion. i rather liked nearly all TPs bosses and all of them have attitude. i may have like Oots a little better but they still are very good. there is nothing wrong with them.
  7. Thats also your opininon. i also partly agree i did enjoy taht game more. but it doesnt make this game any worse.

Just because it's Zelda doesn't make it a perfect game! It was flawed in a lot of ways, it was way too easy and repetitive, ripped off too many locations from Ocarina of Time, and a lot of the items you collected were just dumb or felt as though something like it has been done before in a Zelda game (dominion rod). It was simply not the best Zelda ever, and I think Nintendo is just catering to fanboys who are too scared to go online on another system, or hate Bill Gates or Sony for some reason or whatever. And for God's sake, an 8.8 is NOT a bad score! I admit, Gamespot seems to have it out for the Wii, but this score is exactly what the game deserved in a world where there are so many new series out there deserving 10's, and great online games with unlimited replay value; Zelda has been using the same formula since it began, and it's not crazy to think that maybe reviewers are just looking for a new type of experience (yes, the Wiimote is new, but doesn't really add a whole lot to the gameplay). I'm not saying the series is bad in any way, it just has more competition these days and the games just feel limited. Here's a newsflash, Zelda is not the god of all games! *gasp* It just has a really strong fan base of kids that have grown up playing it and are afraid of change.

8.8 might be a little low, but i mean, gamespot does have a point, its repetitive til you get the master sword, after that though its ok, its nowhere near OOT though

Twilight Princess deserved at least a 9.5 if not better.  It really is a great game.  I haven't played anything that interesting in a long time.  The game was very long too; much longer than Ocarina of Time.

  7. Thats also your opininon. i also partly agree i did enjoy taht game more. but it doesnt make this game any worse. 

1.  No Zelda game but TP has been this linear.  Ocarina let you beat dungeons out of order, hell as soon as you met Zelda, roughly an hour into the game, you could choose to anywhere you wanted.  MM was similar, WW had a lenthier linear period, but still it doesn't come close to TP's 20 hours of hands-inside-the-car gameplay.

5.  I wanted more to do, it seemed that as soon as you left one dungeon, they shuffled you into another.

6.  Hm, The dekubaba, Stallord, Yeta, and Ghoma were good?  Stallord had potential, but they effed up his attacks, he should have been more imposing, like a colossus, hell put a spinner track on his arm and make the player have to jump on it and ride up to him, would have been better than just running into his spine at 2 miles an hour after wasting momentum dodging his skeletons.  Argorok was another that had potential, but they messed it up by making it too simple, what's impressive about destroying his armor because Link put on some boots?  What's impressive about hookshotting onto a stationary target who's also Z-targeted?  Nothing.

7.  My point is, TP doesn't deserve 9.0 if it wasn't as good as it could have been, everywhere I went in that game, I looked at and thought "this doesn't work, they should have done this."  While in Wind Waker, the only thing I'd change, would be to reduce Tingle's greediness, and have the game point you to the Ghost Ship Chart location, the only thing that seems to hang up gamers, is figuring out where to find that.

8.8?????? are you kidding me gamespot?? this game deserves at least a 9.5 seriously this is now one of my favorites. I will admit the speaker from remote doesn't sound that great and the graphics sometimes look last-gen but gamespot doesn't seem to look at the good stuff in games when reviewing. So what if the graphics aren't at the wii's full potential but zelda pratically suceeds in everything else. This isn't gonna happen but gamespot should rethink their review and get a different reviewer. Axel_rocks14

I love the sound coming out of the wiimote, seriously.  It's so unique sounding.  Other than that, I agree with the reviewer.  The bosses were too easy, and the textures were brutal at times.  The jaggies really jumped out too, especially in the desert.  Having said that, this is one of the best Zelda games ever made.  I would say its better than ocarina, worse than majora.

it wasn't essentially a good game. it was so boring
