The Official Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Thread

Well I just got my Gamecube version recently so I haven't played much. From what I can tell so far, the movements are really smooth. I'm not sure about the Wii version. I think they look the same and have been told graphically they are identical.

I really can't play this without a wavebird though. Wired controllers are so annoying. Anyway post your thoughts on both versions. Whichever one you've played. Game is supposedly like 40 hours and I heard being a wolf is annoying as hell.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Fri Dec 15, 2006 11:18 am

I like being a wolf cuz you fight the twilight creatures.

What's annoying is collecting those light thingies.

PS: This game owns buy it.
The Wii version was worth it to me cuz of the widescreen. After an adjustment period, it's nearly identical in control to a typical game (minus camera control maybe).

It's quite mad that it came out on Gamecube

I think it's out here today.

We'll see if this thread has has many posts this time next year

Well I'm up to the first dungeon. Haven't attempted it yet. The part with the wolf was really annoying. Nightmares of Okami. Story so far is kind of weird. Really don't understand much of it yet. Gonna try and play more tomorrow.

A Zelda game with a story?

Entr0pi3 · Post by **Entr0pi3** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 1:41 pm

A Zelda game with a story difficult to understand??

(double-WTF combo)

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 2:47 pm

Is it just difficult to understand as there aren't many words, the main character has no personality, and it's just really badly thought out as a whole?

Entr0pi3 · Post by **Entr0pi3** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 3:03 pm

Come on, zelda plots are classic

(actually the GB Zelda had a pretty good story, IMO... as far as Zelda games go)

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 3:53 pm

Almost every Zelda game since has had it's one "plot" twist.
I liked Link's Awakening a lot, but I can't really say it had a real good plot, just more of a set-up of what was actually happening.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 5:42 pm

fuck plots
go read a book or watch a movie

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 5:44 pm

I'm not complaining. I love the Zelda series.
And I do read books and watch movies

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 5:46 pm

no but fuck em really.
other than providing a context, game stories stink.

Entr0pi3 · Post by **Entr0pi3** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 7:56 pm

TBH quite often I think they're hilarious. Especially fighting games "stories". Reading characters' background always crack me up

Anyway, a story don't need be complex to be good. Look at classics: fairy tales, myths and legends and so on. Pretty basic stuff, really. Actually one thing I like about the Zelda games' stories is that they don't try to elaborate beyond that: an epic tale at its most basic. Simple, but efficient.

Whisp · Post by **Whisp** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 2:39 am

I dont have a Wii, I have a gamecube though!!!!!! I didnt get Zelda yet though, I was playing this game called Paper Mario Thosand year door. I wasnt going to get it but my Friends at school recomended it to me. It has a bland plot to it (not exiting at all) Im still playing it though, I hope to play it through at least once just for the heck of it. I need to get a D.S, I want nintendogs and Final Fantasy three and ill be happy!!!!!!!!!!

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 10:22 am

Oh yeah, that reminds me that they're still planning to release that paper Mario platformer on the GC

Oh I agree.
But I mean, I really don't see why people are motivated to play a game solely based on the merits of their storytelling.

I would've quit gaming a long time ago if I did this.

I actually do play Tekken games for their awesome plot

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 3:51 pm

Tekken has the silliest plot ever, and it keeps getting sillier. It's great!
Jinpachi is playable in the PS3 version

Jeff 2G6 · Post by **Jeff 2G6** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 5:24 pm

YEa but Tekken is good so who cares.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 5:56 pm

Btw, there are quite a few copies of GC Twilight Princess in Canary Wharf Game

Whisp · Post by **Whisp** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 6:02 pm

I will probably get Zelda when im finished with paper mario, for all who have played it, could you tell me how good the gameplay is, preferably someone who has played the GC version.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 3:01 am

Jeff 2G6 wrote:YEa but Tekken is good so who cares.

I don't play it because it doesn't feature deep characterization.

Jeff 2G6 · Post by **Jeff 2G6** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 6:04 am

The GC Zelda is suppsedly the same as the Wii. It's just that the Wii you gotta be standing up. So if you jsut like to sit down and play a 40 hours game that is rich and challenging, the GC version is for you. Also don't play with a wired controller please. Wavebird or bust.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 7:16 am

You don't need to stand up to play the Wii version.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 5:57 pm

That was actually a mistake I made, but it's a;; jolly, so I decided to stick it at the back of my shit-to-do list

I think it was a fantastic mistake, a serendipitous one even.

Think next year we should Christmasify all the smilies?

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 7:26 pm

I think so.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 7:28 pm

Want to edit

?

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 7:39 pm

I don't really know how. What kind of programs do you use? Photoshop? Dont' have Photoshop.... MS Paint? Don't have MS Paint..... Emotishop? Don't have Emotishop...

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 7:49 pm

Get Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 7:58 pm

Impossible, actually!

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 10:14 pm

Gimp is not as good but it's free and communist, you'll like it.

Entr0pi3 · Post by **Entr0pi3** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 7:33 am

Yeah, the learning curve is a bit steep though

Potentially, I guess it could do just about everything the others do, but the user interface is not as intuitive, IMO (read: it's different from programs I'm used to)
Also, the it's many windows quickly get annoying, always getting in the way (esp. when using a single screen, single desktop configuration, I guess)
Don't get me wrong, I use the Gimp (I'm poor) and rather like it. But I guess I'd like it better if it was easier to use. Sometimes I spend [s]hours[/s] minutes looking for an editing function that's just a click away when using Photoshop or the like. I suppose I should try and learn how to program my own macro/modules thingies within the Gimp's environment

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 11:41 am

Yeah they really need to improve the usability.

Seifer Almasy · Post by **Seifer Almasy** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 5:59 pm

This was a wicked awesome game. Certainly it is not a showpiece for what the Wii is capable of but I couldn't be happier that they ended up porting the game from gamecube. My biggest beef is the lack of orchestrated music. They pretty much have no excuse. In any case, the bosses own, I really enjoyed the last battle. The design is consistently wicked save for one aspect of the game [spoiler]city in the sky. I fucking HATE those creepy cucco people. Like wtf was that? A copout on designing another cool culture maybe but it's not like they'd need to make that sacrifice . . . so I dunno but I really hated it.[/spoiler]

Anyway I'm yet to do all sidequests. I havn't even attempted fishing yet, but the minigames seem like they'd all be fun.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 6:52 pm

I really got bored of Zelda minigames sometime through Majoras Mask

Whisp · Post by **Whisp** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 9:46 pm

I play with a wave bird, also now that the secrets out Black metal fang is me, im just going to start over as whisp anyway!!!! is there a way to delete accounts?

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Tue Dec 19, 2006 10:15 pm

You need 25 SG tokens to have that ability.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Dec 20, 2006 12:02 am

Send me a tenner and I'm onto the case

Just let the account lie. If we delete it, then all the posts will also be deleted, and in turn fuck up all the threads.

Went over to Josh's house and played this game today. It's pretty good, but i think they might have been able to do a bit more with the graphics. other thatn that, tis pwnage.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 12:41 am

Graphics are funcional and pretty.
They could have done more, but this is by all intents and purposes a Gamecube port.

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 12:45 am

They can't do that much more. Under that exterior lies a Gamecube on a couple of steroids. Nothing more.
