Twilight Princess was horrible. For one, it's clear that they just wanted to create a game that was as similar to Ocarina of Time as they could. The recycled MANY of the temples from that game (forest, fire and water temples AGAIN!?) (Though the last two temples were okay). Then the recycled the plots from those temples too!! Goron Elders trapped in the mines? The Zora world frozen AGAIN? Zelda captured again? Good Lord, it got tiring. Then you had the game's difficulty which was a total and complete joke...almost every enemy can be defeated by you running up to it and spamming the sword button. (I think this was because they had to simplify things for the stupid Wiimote controller which ending up hurting the game emensely). This was definitely the most disappointing since this game was billed as being more "adult" in nature which implied to me that it would be more difficult which was completely false...especially when it was the more "childish" looking Windwaker that was a least SOMEWHAT more difficult. Plus they throw money at you at all times so it's never an issue buying anything. The sidequests were poor and unoriginal and basically a ripoff of the skulltula quest from OoT and the minigames were something you tried once to get the items then never played again. Not to mention they even had an unoriginal final battle...it starts off with the same tired hit the energy ball back and forth" fight used countless times by now, followed by the incredibly lame battle with the beast Ganon where all he does it run around aimlessly. Then they HAD to put you in yet another cliched swordfight with Ganondorf because all the fanboys drool over cliched swordfights...might as well go all the way and give them lightsabers while you're at it. And seriously, the lack of difficulty took all joy out of these levels...when there's no challenge or originality to anything you're doing, it's hard to get into it...by the end of the game I felt that finishing the game was more of a chore than anything.I'm sorry if this is going long but this game pissed me off. We had all these fanboys whine and complain about Windwaker having kiddie graphics and complaining about the triforce quest while ignoring that the game was very good, tried something new with the island format, had many creative dungeons and had lots of fun sidequests and hidden places to explore. I especially loved the Figurine Quest which was challenging at times and took a lot of time. (Not to mention that the triforce quest is not that bad if you don't wait until the end to retrieve them all...you CAN get them as you go through the game, you know). Then with TP they make a complete ripoff of OoT with more "adult" graphics and people drool over it. And I'm sorry...the graphics are not BETTER in TP...they're just drawn differently with a different art style...the graphics aren't any better than Windwaker. Just because a game LOOKS more adult doesn't mean it IS more adult. If there was ever a game geared more towards kids, it was TP. Heck, even Phantom Hourglass is new and a creative way to make a game even if it is easy...TP can't even say that. TP is easily the worst Zelda game ever made and make me wary about all future Zelda games that may be on the way.Stevo
