Twilight Princess Review

An in-depth review of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Wii. This video contains spoilers for the entire game.

"Anyway, as a reward for repeatedly stabbing a baboon up the ass, Link gets a boomerang."

"This is the start of a trend that I really enjoy in Twilight Princess--"

Him saying that right after mentioning the baboon boss fight always made me laugh.

[sinklar]

Fun fact: The voice of Midna is a Japanese woman speaking English, with the audio being jumbled up to sound like gibberish.

[annoyingmish]

It sucks that they didn't implement a finishing move as a wolf... They could've easily done it since they had the animation for the poe souls.

[ThrillingDuck]

"But instead you have to wait for the enemies to get back up and stop being invincible." Shit like this in videogames always makes me laugh XD

Twilight Princess became an INSTANT classic when it allowed you to run and cut grass

[Lassenissen]

I think the reason Link's face looks so bland, even when he's emoting, is a combination of his irises having a glassed, washed-out color, and his eyes not properly finding a focus point I think. Like in the shot you showed, his eyes just tracked around the room in a floaty motion, instead of "snapping" more realistically to different focus points.

I'm from the future. The voice acting wasn't very useful.

[dobadobadooo]

Small nitpick: Ther Hero's Shade is not a Stalfos, it's just a ghost. Actual Stalfos appear in the game, and they look completely different than him. Plus, you can actually find his grave in Hyrule Castle, in a very well hidden area in the courtyard, which by itself kinda debunks the whole Stalfos theory.

I found no one else who shared my complaint. The track Midna's Lament is a gorgeous song. I was so annoyed it kept getting interrupted by those enemies. Of course because they spawn in the same fucking place all the time it's almost as if Nintendo did this intentionally. But hey the track is in Super Smash Brawl so...YAY!

[Schoo_Schoo]

Discourage the player to go for a 2nd playthrough? Ha! I played through and completed the game 26 times.



I have problems.

[Creamouz]

I rewatch these more often than I want to admit

[TheRepty]

I dissagre about Zant. I thought that was a wonderful twist. You spent the entire game terrified of that guy, and when you finally get to know him he turns out to be a total loon. I loved it.

[AldentheBlue]

Something that really annoyed me about the Palace of Twilight was the sword upgrade. Or should I say, the cool and handy sword upgrade that is only useful in that dungeon. Who thought that was a good idea? "Oh, hey, let's reward the player by giving the Master Sword an upgrade since it's nearing the end of the game! But it can only be seen or used in this dungeon! 

Just let us keep it.

[dashman]

After the lackluster english dubs in totk and botw, your segment on voice acting made my jaw drop with how spot on you were.

I've recently gotten into your reviews and love them! As many others have said, your attention to detail is astounding.

[BriHarded]

"Ocarina of Time, but bigger." Makes me laugh every time.

[blakeisthebeast]

I remember when i was smaller reading about the then untitled twilight princess game that was in development in a Nintendo Power magazine. I remember seeing a dungeon layout that was never put in the actual product along with some pretty creepy enemies, makes me wonder how much was replaced/cut for the final product.

[btster]

Looking back on this.. I really liked your humor in the earlier review and I would like to see it come back. Just how you tell a joke with the exact same serious tone as the review just gets me by surprise all the time. And the fact that they only last a few seconds makes sure that it doesn't get boring, and nothing is forced.

[famguy]

funny though, you stated one of the good changes was the fact that rupees are returned to chests if the wallet is full. Apparently, for some reason, this feature was removed for the HD remake

[glorioustigereye]

I always saw Zant as a guy who thinks he is calm and collected but when the chips are down he is actually a child.

[Yaymaze]

Actually there is the option to turn off pointing at the screen for aiming, which makes the flying mini game use the analog stick instead.
