[Wii] The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Discussion Thread

I read that article... 50-70 fucking hours?! That's crazy, I don't want a game that long. You fanboys can say what you want about me, about how I'm a "blasphemer" and blah blah blah but I have productive things beyond videogames I wanna do with my time, too

Jam it back in, in the dark.

8.8... well, that's that.

So, see you all same time next Zelda game, guys?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I prefer button pressing to the motion controls.

Especially since Link only does stock animations instead of actually following your movements, thus making the gesture controls utterly pointless. I mean, if you do a horizontal slash to the left, he invariably does a stock animation in which he slashes it to the right... if they were gonna use stock animations anyways there's absolutely no point to having gesture controls.

And yes, I have the game. :eyebrow:

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

No... I'm right-handed. I just think the motion controls are pointless.

For god's sake, it's a she! How could you possibly mistake her figure for a male's? Let me help you out, look at this handy color-coded image.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Um, that's not really a spoiler... a real spoiler would be something like

Spoiler:

Ganondorf turning out to be Link's surrogate mother!!!!!!!!

I was speaking idiomatically.

It makes me feel awful knowing I had absolutely no help in getting past the lakebed temple, and you guys cheat by using walkthroughs and asking each other and stuff... and you guys still get the exact same cutscenes and things as I do

It's Paper Mario 2 all over again. My ego demands recompense.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sigh... yes and no.

Then, to quote Darunia, "we are sworn brothers!"

FELIPE NO

I beat the game yesterday. Zelda endings always leave me with a sense of dissatisfaction because they just go right back to the title screen the instant all the credits roll... and this one feels the same way. It just leaves you with no real incentive to play it again because you've seen it all.

Spoiler:

Oh god Midna I miss you already

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

According to Mr. Miyamoto, chronologically, Ocarina of Time is the first one to happen in the series, followed by the original NES Zelda, and then... I forget the rest.

I read this somewhere, I think it was on wikipedia.

I personally wouldn't have minded if it got pushed back further. It means they're creating something that would be "holy crap this will be the best one yet".

But, sadly... no. They wanted it done in time for the wii launch.

Most amazing jew boots

Spoiler:

She couldn't leave the mirror there, it would be irresponsible. Didn't you see how easily it could corrupt people? It happened to that yeti woman and made her into a monster, and it also created horrors like Armogohma and that dragon boss. If she left it there, it would just invariably happen again; some poor fool would stumble upon it, get himself corrupted, turn into a monster and linger somewhere in hyrule terrorizing people. Be it encasing them in ice, or kidnapping their children, or not letting them access their food supplies, there'd just be loads of problems as long as that mirror was around making people into monsters and crap.

I know it's hard to accept but I really don't think we'll ever see Midna again. Get over it, folks. I know it's saddening.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

It's not really "cool" at all. Link doesn't follow your movements or anything. All you do is swing the wiimote in any direction and he invariably does a stock animation. It's the same thing as pushing a button to make him attack, except it requires more effort than pushing a button and it feels like there's a slight delay.

You won't even be doing swinging; all you'll be doing is wiggling the thing slightly. He'll do a vertical slash regardless of your actual movements.

Bullshit. The Final Fantasies, as far as I know, have orchestrated music in them and look how long they are.

Not that I like them or anything...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

You're both gigantic faggots. Telma and Yeta are the best girls in the game.

Well, it's not her older form that I find attractive...

What the hell are you talking about? Are you saying I'm a furry because I like Midna?

Not that I have a problem with furries, but Midna's not a furry, idiot. I like her for being a dark, cute loli girl.

How ya doing, buddy?

Definitely.

Midna's cute and I like lolicon okay.

How ya doing, buddy?

Midna's older form looks too geisha-esque. Her younger form is exquisitely adorable.
