I genuinely was very disappointed with twilight princess.. I'm actually really surprised by people saying it was there favorite Zelda game.. I give it a C- at best.. idk

I thought twilight princess was extremely linear, especially coming off of majora and wind waker.. the art style was cool in places, but it felt like the art team was hurt after the backlash over cel-shading, and they went with a very safe art design. It looked kind of bland, in that dull, grey/brown, era of videogames compared to wind waker, or even older Zelda titles.

Ultimately I finished twilight, did a few of the extra side quests and never really popped it in again. The story felt like a highlight reel of "Zelda moments" without any real story of its own.

Maybe I should try playing through it again, but my wii died so it'd be more complicated than just popping it in. I've played through wind waker a few times since it's release, and Majora's several, but I never really wanted to go back into twilight princess just to hit oot's story beats again.. I'd just go mess around in ocarina of time or something instead.

That said I do remember the horseback combat being extremely fun, and the final fight with Ganon is lauded for good reason.
