If you haven't seen the intro to Twilight Princess - and by this I mean the scene before the game starts and the opening screen - stop reading.

One of my video gaming highlights was seeing the intro to Zelda Oot for the first time. When I heard the Twilight Princess intro was similar - I was ecstatic, and when the video was released, I had to watch it. I wish I had the patience to wait until I saw it on the Wii - but I don't. :P

It was incredible, and the opening screen in particular blew me away. The music is also inspiring, and it motivates me strongly to play the game - as if I needed any more motivating. At this stage, I'm going to have to say I prefer the TP opening.

As they're both very similar, which do you prefer?

It is so emotional and inspiring! Seeing wolf Link staring and waiting at the twilight realm with an ominous castle in the background is just amazing! You know it is going to take him an extreme amount of work to get there. It reminds me of the huge combine in Half Life 2 only even more amazing!

The opening was nice and emotional, but the place Link is riding in is a little bit boring.. There were grass in the OoT one, so the TP opening looks a little bit "stony" to me, but other than that: Nice! Love the music.

The ending with the Wolf was spectacular! Definately TP's intro, but that might be because I've seen OoT's before ...

The only thing I don't like about the TP intro is that Link and Epona start off stationary, where in Ocarina of Time it started and they were already riding across the screen. I can't really criticise it for that, but I would have liked it better if they started off riding.

I think it's the same tune as the music from the original Zelda's title screen - I love hearing these remixed themes.

I much prefer this one- love the slight hommage to OoT and the howl at the Twilight Curtain, i also like the three rays of light in the distance as Link rides across Eldin Bridge. LS:)

That is very much intentional, a point of no return so to speak, the contemplation of the long journey that lies ahead, also metaphorically he waits before Eldin bridge,- bridges as you may know have many conatations. LS

When you put it that way, it justifies it. Now I see it you're way, I've changed my mind. :lol:

When I saw the results, I was shcoked.  I thought OoT would be winning.  Thats what I voted for.  It just has the mood a calm you no matter where you are.  TP also does that, but there is just something about OoT that I cant let go of.

No way- (could not think of a worse profession, quite frankly):), i am merely an Artist who recognizes these small things, i think it is important to remember that every minute aspect has been laboured upon by the director A-san, and Miyamoto san, therefore it will be safe to asume their will be great examples of depth and substance in the game, those that show well measured reasoning for everything to come.

Wii in the U.K have to wait till Dec 8th, consider yourselves lucky if your region gets it before this date, i am not going to be visiting this forum after the U.S gets the game, the temptation for a Zelda fan such as myself among all that many spoilers is way too much, there is no way i am going to ruin my experience of this game at all, it's better to approach the game untarnished with any knowledge have about it, better to simply play it than to read about it, i want to discover things for myself. LS:)

Thanks:), but no thanks for the careers advice> LS , London U.K:)

Comes out December 7th in NZ, but I'll wait 'till Christmas, because I want Christmas to be special, and Zelda will outdo Christmas if I played it before Christmas.

And yes, I realise that I said Christmas 4 times in one sentence.
