I don't like it the most at all but I did enjoy playing it on my gamecube when you could fly on the weird bird thing or some of the other mini games. I enjoyed it less so on the Wii when I tried it. It felt shoehorned into the Wii very much so.

It had some p neat setpieces and was mechanically solid so I don't actually hate it but if it's someone's favorite Zelda I seriously question their judgment of what exactly they are looking for out of a Zelda game.

also lmao someone got mad enough at you to buy you a new av. The only thing funnier than the cult of Star Citizen is the weird SC vultures who get really mad at hopeless nerds like they're doing something other than providing an easy target.

Not only did they buy me a new AV they admitted to it after the thread got moved to Games and someone is bitching in a thread they made in QCS about mods reverting it for free.

My experience with Twilight Princess made me skip out on Skyward Sword and wait until ALBW came out; is Skyward Sword worth picking up cheap?

Skyward Sword is ultra divisive because it does amplify on a lot of the bad parts of TP (big ol' cutscenes, weirdly repetitive parts, railroady) but I thought it was gorgeous enough to make up for it. Like, TP would've been forgiven if more than two locations in the whole game were at all interesting but everything in SS is a treat to look at and explore so I am pretty okay with it. If you're willing to break your Wiimote habits to make the controller work for you that's also fine, since the motion controls are not intuitive.

When it came out I was very much blown away by it and thought it was one of my faves but then I realized it was definitely post-TP low expectations talking and immediately reverted back to the MM/WW tie I always settle on, but it is in my opinion definitely worth playing.

Twilight isn't the best and was certainly flawed but it had some good poo poo. Some of the good poo poo:

-Dungeons (mansion and the desert place fuckin ruled)
-Learning cool attacks from ghost skeleton who is possibly OoT Link??? Shield bashing is so awesome
-Sword fighting on horseback
-There's a few long rear end optional caverns that are fun to explore
-Dual wielding claw shots
-Fishing girl descended from OoT fishing guy
-Part where you can cut a spit pig in half and get a piece of heart
-Zant snapping Ganon's neck at the end

A lot of people have problems with it (like the longass intro) that are justified but it's worth remembering the cool parts

Basically it was one of the first games Nintendo had put an honest-to-god hype train behind in ages instead of doing their pretty passive Nintendo marketing, and then it turned out to be a mostly-uninspired retread that took all the already strained aspects of the series (increasingly long expositions, dungeon items that had little use outside of their dungeons) and made them even worse. That being said,

all this is true and when the game does shine it shines pretty well. It's just that the game was mostly a love letter to OoT but instead of looking at how OoT had aged and saying, "hmm, maybe we should fix this," Nintendo said, "on current gen tech, we can do all these things but like 10 times more of it!"

Twilight Princess is OK to good, but this thread is for making fun of nerds who settle for OK to good.

twilight princess was the first zelda game i owned and played all the way through. i bought it at the same time i bought my wii and i thought it was pretty good at the time. it still is pretty good even today but not as good as some other zelda games, but i think playing it first made it more interesting to me since i wasn't familiar with a lot of things that it did the same as ocarina of time.

That said i have a really hard time remembering much about it so

also midna is cool

i don't remember a whole lot from twilight princess, but i do remember that one item that was like a spinning gear that you could surf on?

i thought that was a really cool item even if it wasn't useful a lot of the time it was just cool

I enjoyed twilight princess, but the only impression I still have of it is that the dungeons seemed shorter and easier as the game progressed. Didn't seem to have any lasting appeal and I've never been tempted to find a copy so I can play it again.

I liked skyward sword, especially how open it felt

I didn't mind that a lot of the openness was kind empty, just like how I loved having so much fuckin' sea to roam around in in wind waker
