How Nintendo Failed To Make The Game They Never Wanted To Make.

The Legend Of Zelda - Twilight Princess is a very confused game. The story is all over the place and doesn’t make much sense, Link’s character arc collapses before we even enter the second Zelda dungeon and, at least in my opinion, it also features the worst ending of all the 3D Zelda games. Yet it also features some of the best boss fights in the entire Zelda franchise. Random side characters get more character development then Link does in Twilight Princess, yet no other Zelda game before or after it captures the feeling of adventure as well as Twilight Princess does. The game features many of the best dungeons Nintendo ever crafted but also has weird tonal problems. It has the worst art direction out of the 3D Zelda games yet features the best version of Hyrule fields, it has a terrible beginning but a wonderful second half, it has some of the coolest items in the series while also features some of the worst cutscenes. It’s just a fantastic Zelda game on the one hand and a confusing mess on the other. And at least in my humble opinion, that is incredibly interesting. Why did Twilight Princess end up so confused? How does a game end up so good and so strangely bad at the same time? What happened? In this video we will try to solve this little mystery. ====== Patreon Help content like this survive on the platform:   / ceave   ====== Timestamps----------- 00:00:00 - Intro 00:02:32 - I: A Complicated Premise (Story Premise) 00:21:00 - II: A Broken Premise (Story Problems I) 00:36:25 - III: Dawn Of A Good Game (Gameplay & Dungeons) 00:48:52 - IV: Aonumas Secret (Economic Surroundings) 00:58:34 - V: Breaking More Than Just A Mirror (Story Problems II) ====== Sources The images of Liminal Spaces are taken from the wonderful r/LiminalSpace - thank you to everyone who is sharing eerie places there!   / liminalspace   Wikipedia: Wind Waker Spirited Away & Liminality: :https://heyhoneytheblog.wordpress.com...
