An interesting LoZ related fact- Despite playing every LoZ game (except the awful CD-I games, and the GBC games), I've only ever completed one (Minish Cap)
I get bored easily, you see, even with awesome games... I go back to them eventually. It's just that I haven't got round to going back to WW yet, I hate the part I'm on at TP, MM and OoT both glitch on my Gamecube, I just don't like LTTP and LoZ 2 and LoZ is just rock hard, I always, always get lost. I bought Four Swords and almost completed it, but decided to return it while I could get all my money back.
Have I missed any?

. Anyway, yeah, I'm a big Zelda fan... I haven't completed many of the games, though. I've finished Four Swords Adventures and Wind Waker, and I'm in the Palace of Twilight with TP (Wii).It's kinda annoying that the Wii version is flipped, but I guess it was for the best... stupid right-handed Link
.Anyway, yeah, I'm a pretty big Zelda fan. Heck, I administrate a Zelda fan forum dedicated to the creation of Zelda fan games, and this just happens to be the second day of MAZE, a mock e3 for Zelda fangames, in which you can win awards to put in your game's topic. http://www.zfgc.org/.
Oh, and Impulse... what's wrong with the GBC games? Link's Awakening is really fun, I was one of the people who signed a petition for getting a remake of LA on DS

by the way, its good to finally see a zelda topic in the forums. I'd have to be honest as well and say that there are some zelda games that i havent completed, but only because i saw my brother beat it first, so it kinda spoiled me. happened with OOT and TWW. the ones that i have beaten are LTTP, LA, OOS, OOA, and MC.
I would have to say that my favorite zelda game falls between OOT, LTTP, and LA. ive played some twilight princess, but my urge to beat my final fantasy game has put that game on hiatus. stinkin final fantasy storylines. ><

.Oh, nothing's wrong with the GBC games, it's just I never got to play them. I did own a GBC, but I was quite young, and so I only owned the Pokemon games, Tetris and some god-awful movie liscence games. By the time I knew enough about gaming to know what LoZ was, it was into the GBA era, and LA, OoA and OoS were pretty much impossible to find. I'm hoping for a remake of LA, and hopefully finding a copy of OoA and OoS, but I'm not haivng much luck...

Come on, it's like... One of the most epic game series and there isn't any topic about it here. :( Don't mind me starting one~!
Don't forget, we just transferred over from another forum, so the mainly-TP-focused thread we had was made to die. That's no indication that there aren't any Zelda fans here, though.
While I wouldn't call the Zelda series the most epic, its importance in gaming can't be ignored, either. Its nice variety in stories and ever-evolving gameplay make it a great series. The awesome characters are a great touch, too.

Then all of a sudden, you beat the Zora's Temple and BAM! It gets fun. I'm in the first room of Arbiter's Grounds, and already the difficulty is ramped up.
Not to mention I was doing so many side-quests and exploring before I went there. There's so much to do, it's just awesome.

Sadly, most items in TP are only really used in the dungeon you find them in, and the one directly after it. You may use it once or twice from there on, but otherwise most of them go underused for the rest of the game.

Or, realistically "hehehehehehe-ugh, oh, *vomit". You'd think whoever made the spinner would've made the inside piece a swivel, so when the outside spins around, you remain facing one direction.

holy crap! i just beat that dungeon yesterday! i felt like Link could be the captain of some synchronized dance team, except with statues instead of people! i miss not really getting to use the spinner anymore as it was my favorite item, but i guess i can keep my bomb arrows as a close favorite... i dont know if its just me though, but do the bosses kinda seem like push overs?

Yes, although the whole game is more or less of a push over difficulty wise--If anything bosses were only elongated because of the 'puzzle' needed to be solved in order to beat them (or the pattern, if you like it that way).
I have a lot of criticisms for TP, but I did enjoy playing it--I just felt like the game was actually rather 'small,' in that you really never got to use most of your items for anything other than the dungeon in which you found them. Some items you never really even needed to use again--The dominion rod comes to mind as the most obvious of these.
It 'speeds up' a little bit after you clear out most of the curse, because then you get to interact with Hyrule instead of just walking from dungeon to dungeon and randomly playing Okami inbetween.

Sure, if Okami involved boring collectaquests for the first half of the game before you could do anything, with a linear and restricted feel and less beautiful graphics.

1. Slow and boring start
2. Combat is way too easy (automatic shield when Z-targeting?)
3. Occaisonally the game feels like a chore
Otherwise, it's fantastic.

to me though, the hardest part of twilight princess that was harder than any boss was....
Spoiler:
if i dont count that though, i think the overall gameplay to me on TP is easier than LTTP, cause to me, i found the bosses on LTTP harder and i lost more lives overall in that game. and before you ask, i just played that game about a year ago, so its not an experience issue.... maybe im just 2D challenged.

Haha, very true, TP gets to be a bit slow on the gun when you start collecting those Twilight bugs, but other than that.... In my opinion, the bosses were easy for players who've already experienced the feel of Legend of Zelda. I went off and played Ocarina of Time and Majora's mask in between playing TP, and I tell you the bosses were quite easy to boot, including Ganondorf. I remember not being able to beat the first boss when I was a lil tyke since I just wasn't as experienced in the control and tactics. Believe me, if I were to ask any other person who hasn't played LoZ before to beat a boss from any game, they'd have a harder time than what we all had.

It was basically one long path, with one single puzzle. Go get the statue, then bring him back. The only way it could possibly take you a while to do it is that it doesn't occur to you what exactly you're doing until you go from the end to the beginning a few times.

While the classic Zelda mechanics are polished and refined to the max, it lacks a clear direction (this is mostly seen in the visual department: there are lots of pleasant different styles in the mix, but they don't seem connected too well and there isn't a single main focus, a main theme...variety is the spice of life, but without a main theme it's just a fragmented chaos), courage and innovation (
Spoiler:
Ah, the music was a bit lackluster.
Done with the critiques, I must say I was pleasantly surprised by some innovative(in a way or in another) segments in TP...be careful, massive spoilers:
Spoiler:
. The City in the Sky was much better than I expected and, visually, one of the most beautiful dungeons in the whole series...and you gotta love the Escher-inspired Oocca. It even had a good musical theme, pretty rare thing in TP. The Twilight Palace was a lame dungeon, but, aesthetically, it was impressive...and the Twili are just gorgeous 
...ok, maybe gorgeous is not the best adjective, but you get the idea. Zant was a very, very, very nice psychotic, weak, childlike villain, one of the best categories IMHO, and its design was another cameo of the Majora's Mask aesthetic. Too bad they HAD to replace it with a nonsensical Ganondorf...And that's it. By my standards, it deserves a 7.5, for being a nice mechanical game, but not much more. Next time, Nintendo, first decide where you're going.

I haven't picked up TP in a few days because of it.
But FDoo, great analysis and review. Quite frankly, I agree with just about all of your points- other than the ones I haven't gotten to and the Zant one. I feel like I'm about to beat the game, but Zant has showed up once, only once, in person. Does he suddenly pop up everywhere after the Sky Temple or what?
It certainly doesn't feel like I'm racing against time to save the world.

I felt the same way after a while, though the boss made it worthwhile. Not because it's some fantastic fight or anything, but because it provides the second-to-best use of a dungeon's key item in a boss fight, right after the Spinner. It reminded me quite a bit of Spider-Man, actually.

It certainly doesn't feel like I'm racing against time to save the world.He shows up in the dungeon right after the one you're in right now, if this is the one to get the last mirror shard. It alone is more than enough reason to get through the Sky Temple. His fight is probably one of my favorite in the game.

With everyone ranting on about how there's so much to do outside of the main quest, I was quite surprised to find how empty the world was. Kakariko Village feels like a ghost town with just that one group of people living in it. In other Zelda games, it usually feels like a fairly populated place.
