- Twilight Princess is by far the best Legend of Zelda game in the franchise, with it's great music and brilliantly crafted story it holds high above it's counter part Ocarina Of Time. In this video we will be covering my reasons as to why i believe Twilight Princess is the best Legend Of Zelda game to date!

Is that a new intro I see? I love the way it looks! (Although I assume it is just for this video)
This was a solid tribute to Twilight Princess. Many good points.
Thank you bread! I may or may not keep it, I'm not to sure yet
@@InfamousGengar I'm not going to watch your video, but if you believe the title of your video than I think you're a homosexual.
The bread pirate in a Infamous Zelda video? Cool!
Yup! We planned on doing a collab a long time ago, but IRL stuff prevented it from happening. @@Familyguyland
@@TheBreadPirateHey, how about you do one now! Btw l, I❤U!
Twilight Princess is like.. so polished, well rounded and mature. It does a good job of summing up the spirituality of the series.
All of that without DLC crap.
What she said 😊😊
@@saricubra2867 Facts.
yes but if we are honest it missed out on alot of opportunities but even with that its my favorite zelda game ever, even with totk being out now
it feels like 100% zelda and miyamoto said to aonuma it has to be 120% zelda and i guess that summs it up pretty good
I always apreciated Twilight Princess, and seeing it a part of a trilogy with OoT and MM makes me apreciate it even more
Same here really. It never really clicked that OoT through Twilight Princess really is a trilogy. Same hyrule, same history, same Link is in all 3 games.
@@game-enjoyer13 The way I understand it, this Trilogy takes place after Link gets sent back in Time after defeating Ganon in OOT and warning Zelda about Ganondorf (as a child, still retaining his memories of the events in Ocarina). Far as I know these are the only three Games in a Row that have the same Link, Zelda and Ganondorf in them and therefore the only true Trilogy in the series. Also that would mean that Link becomes an Adult twice in the Trilogy.
Fourlagy with skyward sword
@@herschelschueler OOT, MM, and TP are not the only games. LttP, LA, and the oracle games are 4 games in a row with the same Link, Zelda, and Ganon.
@David Kotlarz really? Huh. The vide I always got was this was a separate Link and Zelda (same Ganondorf) from OoT, with the Hero’s Shade being OoT Link.
Finally. Twilight princess gets the praise it deserves.
Yeah it does! 😉
By 1 single CZcamsr wow👌
@@paugas6352 Hey, TP hater! One CZcamsr can make a difference, you know.🤟
@@paugas6352 You make everyone miserable.😥
@@paugas6352 One person can make a difference, stupid.
I grew up on twilight princess so it will always hold a special place in my heart, right next to ocarina of time.
Me too :)
This and Skyward sword rule!
@@InfamousGengar If you’re a friend of TP, then your a friend of me.🥹
I feel like the music in twilight princess is the best music in a zelda game.
Agree
Same, although Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask and Link to the Past come pretty close for me as well, but I enjoy a small amount of Skyward Sword and Wind Wakers music as well, I haven’t heard enough of Breath of the Wilds or Tears of the Kingdom music yet to know my feelings regarding those games when it comes to music.
@@Azureblue25 All top tier soundtracks. But I do think Wind Waker's is right up there with Twilight Princess, if not higher. That Celtic intro song is just so unique and lovely. And of course there's Outset Island and Dragonroost Island, both some of the most comforting and catchy tunes in the series. And I think the Great Sea theme is possibly the best overworld theme, right up there with Hyrule Field in OoT and TP.
Courage is a solid 10/10
Then Listen to the 2nd dungeon music and youll chsnge your opinion
I’m a simple man. I see quality “The Legend of Zelda” content, I subscribe.
I constantly struggle with accepting that there are better Zelda games than Ocarina of Time. The nostalgia is strong I guess but this video made me understand why I’ve replayed Twilight Princess a whole lot more than OoT and why ever time I hear of a new Zelda game, I always hope that its more like Twilight Princess than any other Zelda game.
Thank you dude! I always struggled to accept other Zelda games were better as well, i guess i always felt like i was betraying Miyamotos
legacy in some way, or betraying a game that created the gaming world we see today!
@@InfamousGengar I think for its time ocarina did fantastic. One thing imo ocarina has over twilight is the ocarina. Such small detail but learning new melodies and connecting to others by music really connects the player to the world. When you play certain songs it remind you of those characters. To me it’s so hard to choose. I’d put them equal. The concept of time travel, childhood friends such as saria and seeing people long gone really hits home. I think dungeons are equa. Twilights best are Gerudo, snow peak and fire temple. While ocarina‘s best are Deku tree, Forest Temple, Spirit Temple and controversial opinion water temple.
In many ways twilight Princess is better than ocarina but in others it just is not. For that reason I put them as equal. I can’t choose they are both my favorite games of all time. One is stronger in many aspects and the other is just as strong in many aspects
while OoT is older than me and i owe it nothing, im to young to have played twighlight princess and enjoyed it at the time of release. (i was born in late 2003 you do the maths) i was maybe 4 or 5 at the time so i probably would have gotten scared or something
this comment has no significantce on this conversation, it just helps to appreciate not everyone can grow up with OoT if they're NOT ALIVE YET (that was directed at the toxic OoT fans not you im presume)
Twilight Princess is still my favorite game period.
It's easily my second favourite, Majoras Mask is first :)
Same man. Twilight Princess is hands down the greatest video game to ever exist. Don't get me wrong, Ocarina of Time, Breath of the Wild, and Tears of the Kingdom are great too, but Twilight Princess is on a whole other level.
@@InfamousGengar Wait a second, you said that TP was the best game.🧐
Wait, this was made BEFORE you played MM, okay.
@@InfamousGengar If MM is your favourite, then why do you say in the video that TP is your favourite? Did your opinion change?
*Sees title*
I'm already convinced, but go on
Hahaha :D
@@InfamousGengar Finally, TP gets the love it deserves.
God i miss Twilight Princess i really hope TP HD comes out on Switch at some point in the future.
Hopefully late this year :P
We're still keeping our fingers crossed on this. I'm waiting for the ability to play this game again since the Wii and game was destroyed in a flood sadly. P.S. good to hear such praise for what was and still is the best zelda game
@@Thatguy-hc3edyeah I’m holding out hope too bro. sucks to hear about your Wii. You should get an emulator on your pc if you have one, that’s how I play through the HD version
@@SebastianRivera-mv8hg unfortunately, no PC either. One of the two will have to be fixed so I can get back to T.P. somehow. We will wait and watch
Twilight Princess is so good! I always thought it was one of the best when playing it.
It's easily in the top 2 Zelda games!
It actually remains the second most sold Zelda game, BOTW being the first.
What’s your first favorite? OOT?
@@traviscunningham7062It's MM. I think this video was made before he played this.
I absolutely agree. It will always be my favorite. I can easily look over its flaws. Hell I couldn’t find many honestly. It’s great. The story was fantastic, Midna and characters were great, it’s dark and rough (in a great way). The bosses are so memorable and so are the dungeons. The items are also amazing. I love it
Same man. It does have quite a decent amount of issues. The overworld lacks content, there’s some unused potential w the items, enemy ai, and resistance, and theyres not as many side quests as I liked. But there’s j so many amazing things. The presentation is amazing, the scale is so immersive, the tone and atmosphere is beautiful, the dungeons combat and bosses r the most enjoyable in the series. The story is memorable w amazing characters. It’s j overall not a game...it’s a work of art imo. The most immersive one in the series and my most immersive in all of gaming. It wasn’t my first zelda game that was ocarina of time, but it’s the game that made me love the series and the game that made me look at games as not j a way to have fun, but as works of art.
Well said!
@@harikohli541 well said my guy!
@@ScytheJackal what’s ur first zelda game. Was it oot like mine or was it Tp
Mine was actually Twilight Princess. Things is that I forgot to mention. It was TP. It introduced me to the Zelda series. With Brawl. It was the first Zelda I ever played.
i have been defending this game since 2006 on various internet forums. It is by far the best Zelda and surpasses Ocarina of Time in just about every aspect except OOT came out first and was revolutionary. Time to enjoy watching this video.
Honestly I always said the same, Twilight Princess is my favorite till this day but i have huge respect for Ocarina of Time cause it changed everything!
It's by far the worst Zelda ^^
@@paugas6352 Like it’s your least fav bu thou still like it, or is it the worst and you hate it?
@@paugas6352How?! Just how is it the worst zelda, you hater?!
@@TheJokestrrrr
How?!
Just hoe is it the best zelda, you Fanboy?!
I would love this on the switch I miss this game so much
Me too :)
I don't think we'll get a remake until new Nintendo console comes out, as it was just on the Wiii U.
I'm so glad other people think this is the best 3d zelda.
For me they would rank like this:
1. Twilight Princess
2. Ocarina of Time
3. Majora's Mask
4. Wind Waker
5. Skyward Sword
6. Breath of the Wild
I have very little experience with Skyward Sword.
I can appreciate that list order :D
I'm actually glad to see BotW rank so low. It's not a bad game, but it's always weird to hear that it's so many people's favourite Zelda game when it just never clicked with me. I wish I could have as much fun with it as other people claim to have, but it's just not quite my cup of tea
@@lif6737 yess!! Breath of The Wild doesn't look like Zelda
Skyward Sword is super underrated imo. Loved it and honestly enjoyed it a bit more than OOT. TP is still the goat zelda game though
Really weird to see botw so low but this ranking makes perfect sense. I love botw and would consider it a 10/10 yet I still don’t think it’s the best.
I wish breath of the wild had the quality temples of twilight princess style , otherwise it would of been my fav Zelda if not for the repetitive shitty dungeons
I agree
I so agree, we'll see if they fix that in the sequel.
@@thewintersoldier8387 that one didnt age well, atleast we got themed dungeons and some cool bosses
@@erikn.9180I know right, I hope the next Zelda game will be like Twilight Princess except the overworld is dynamic and has more life to it and more side quests like BOTW and TOTK that way the game has more replay value after you’ve already beat the game, and some side quests where you can use your specific dungeon item, that way they’re not only useful in said dungeon you received the item from. I was thinking Hyrule field would be where this mostly takes place, and areas that have dungeons would feel like their own distinct areas just like Twilight Princess, and weapons no longer have durability which would be nice. So it would return to the traditional method of receiving items from Zelda games either from chests or buying them with rupees. Plus I imagine it would be like Twilight Princess in terms of graphics but only amplified thanks to how much technology has advanced in recent years, I could picture it being like Twilight Princess but with upgraded realistic graphics akin to something like Red Dead Redemption 2, a linear story just like Twilight Princess that can’t be skipped through or done in a random order, but still with some freedom that comes with it mostly in Hyrule field to give players fun things to do when they’ve already beat the game in the main story.
BOTW dungeons suck ASS, even TOTK dungeons lack in creativity and can be easily cheesed.
On top of everything mentioned, Castletown and collecting the insects were such a vibe that just added to the charm. I mean seriously, completing the insect collection is something I wish more zelda games did. A real blast to look out for while while going through the game
yeah the sidequests and minigames were soo good in this game I wish there were more of them. Especially more horse riding ones, or maybe boar riding.
Yeah, but that girl’s creeper.😳
The characters, the soundtrack and the story all make me very emotional. I had this day one with the wii and it always brings me back to a certain time and place. Most nights I sleep to the most relaxing songs from this game on shuffle. I think you summed this up very well and I agree wholeheartedly. It will always have a special place in my heart.
Twilight Princess has hands down the best atmosphere for its Ice Dungeon and that's why I think it manages to stay in the minds of so many Zelda fans. Same goes for the Desert dungeon. While it is sad the special item you got in said dungeon basically had little to no use outside of the dungeon it was made for it was still such a great dungeon thematically and had one of the coolest boss fights in a Zelda dungeon ever. The same cant be said for Breath of the Wild or even Tears of the Kingdom.
Yeah, this and BOTW hands down!
No, BOTW and TOTkkinda sucked.😊
Can we all thank the zelda team for growing up with its audience while managing to pull in new players.
Something a lot of game developers havent done, **cough** *pokemon* **cough**
Its not just Zelda, its also Mario, Metroid, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, and Fire Emblem have also grown up with their audiences and enjoyed by people of different age groups while welcoming new players. Its literally just Pokemon as Nintendo's one and only outlier franchise that adamantly refuses to grow up.
@@devilrider39000000Mariokart and Mario could be classified as the same thing.
He went off about how this is the best Zelda without even mentioning the incredibly amazing final boss
Best Ganondorf boss fight to date. I just started playing Tears of the Kingdom so I'm nowhere close to encountering Ganondorf in that one. He looks bada$$ asf.
well...after playing botw and getting somewhat disappointed and underwhelmed
i just understand why i enjoyed twilight princess so much (best 3d zelda game I've ever played)
_ masterfully crafted dungeons
_ great story moments
_ midna ( easily better than all botw characters combined)
_ music
_ great bosses and good enemy variety
_ story wasn't that new or original but it was told in an effective way
Yeah i think i have grown to class it as my favourite Zelda game nowadays :P
You’re my favorite Zelda CZcamsr, all of your videos are seriously awesome and very well done.
Aww thank you so much :D I do think Zeltik has the best channel though! :)
I still do not understand the hatred for the tier collecting sections. I actually found it fun collecting the tiers. Another huge contributing factor to me liking it so much would have to be the atmosphere of the twilight. It is impeccable. I also love the satisfaction of cleansing each area from the twilight.
I agree with everything you just said, right on!
For me the reason I hate the tear collecting sections is because I feel like it takes an already slow paced game and makes it even slower. Every time I'm progressing through TP collecting tears it gives me the sense of the game/story is being interrupted. And to make matters worse they took my least favorite part of TP and jammed into SS.
At least there’s a map showing where all the tears are making it easier. The first and second tear missions were easy but I had trouble with the third one.
I just subscribed and wow I am shocked you don’t have more subscribers. Absolutely amazing content my friend !!
Thank you so much :D
good vid, good pacing, and well made. keep it up, i have no doubt you will grow big in the future.
Thank you so much! With people like you supporting me I'm sure I can make it :)
tp was the first game i knew from the franchise. i watched my dad play it. now playing totk it still holds a special place. i can’t remember much but seeing parts of the game play makes me feel really nostalgic. i am excited to play it at some point after totk. (also i did play ss but never finished it and the same for windwaker so i am happy to have lots to play for the next ten or so years till hopefully a new zelda comes out
This game needs to be on Switch so bad.
It was ahead of it's time for Gamecube and the motion controls were decent, but not the best on Wii. Also the graphics on Wii are still pretty rough - Especially in dark areas.
Motion controls + improved graphics on a non-obscure console (WiiU wtf) would be AMAZING!
No the wii version is way better than the GameCube version
@@Cousinbiddy1 I prefer the gamecube version, as even though the framerate is more limlwy to chug, you don't need to use a Wii remote, and it's not flipped entirely.
@@TheJokestrrrr no but u can actually swing your sword on the Wii remote , it’s like your actually wielding a sword in real life , that’s fun
I remember this Zelda made me feel like any other game, the game started so colorful, nice and warming, and suddenly turn really dark. Back in the day it just made me scared and thats why it was super immersive, Really a great game
The biggest peeve for me was needing 5 heart pieces per heart container while hearts still go down in quarters
That’s because there’s a lot of heart containers.
I love the new intro! Beautiful 🥰
Thank you so much Hazel! :)
It’s better than Infinite bit’s
Absolutely Completely True 💖 Twilight Princess is Best Zelda Game Ever and Why I Play it Continuously and Why I Have Only Completed Breathe of the Wild 2xs it Doesn’t Even Have Water Exploration Available 💔💔💔
Yes! Twilight Princess is almost perfect🥰
@@InfamousGengarYes, and the HD version for the Wii U made it more perfect!
Not really. It made the game look too over saturated, they added pointless stamps, you could no longer use a Wii remote to play, and they got rid of the bloom used for the Twilight areas, and also got rid of the heat razes in Goron Mines. I just felt that Twilight Princess HD took out a lot of the atmospheric aspects from the original.
@@traviscunningham7062 Dude, the game looks so much better. The textures look a lot less blurry, now. And playing without motion controls, yeah, big deal. I’d much rather use the B button.You can also carry more rupees, climb ladders faster and use amiibo. Link ones fill your arrow quiver, Zelda ones refill your health and ganondorf ones make you take twice the damage, making it a hero’s mode. Overall, a pretty decent remake.
@@traviscunningham7062 Good. I hate playing anything with a Wii remote. Also, TPHD is a good remake.
I grew up and was in love with twilight princess and it will forever inhabit that empty whole in my heart! (since I don't have a wii anymore)
I agree with this so much. Another major appeal for me with TP is why I loved Majoras Mask, the overall darker theme of the game. It’s a perfect balance or dark with more light hearted themes
2 years later and a switch release is still not here
How many times do I have to say this, it’s on the Wii U, so I’m not sure Nintendo would make another port.
I liked twilight princess before it was cool.
Me too :P
@@InfamousGengar Same it was my first Zelda game
@@seanyhd1159 Ocarina was my first but Twilight Princess is definitely the definitive version of Ocarina! :P
Love the shade towards skyward sword in 2:25
the windwaker and twilight princess were the two first zelda games i’ve ever played in my entire life. i started them both around at the same time; maybe the windwaker a bit sooner. but idk twilight princess just has a very special place in my heart
majora’s mask will always b my favorite tho sorry y’all
I have two polarizing sides that I want for future zelda games.
On one hand, I really want another 3D zelda in the general art direction of twilight princess. A style that leans way more towards realism than fantasy graphics. A darker and heavier themed zelda.
On the other hand, I really want new classic style 2D zelda games. BUT in full HD with all the good modern textures and lighting and etc etc. Imagine playing AlttP but in HD. Kind of like if you took AlbW but upscale the graphics and models, but not changing the art style. Link’s awakening on switch gave us that, almost. Instead of a chibi cutesy style, imagine a 2D that stays true to the artwork and character designs of the classics. And still being a top down view.
Oh my gosh could you imagine a 2D Zelda in the graphical style of Octopath Traveler? Square has this god tier 2D HD that is just *chef's kiss*
I remember going to my grandma house being super excited to tell her that the new zelda game was coming out and we should get it. Then open the door to her already having the game title screen playing on the tv
Wind Waker’s lore (Hyrule’s destruction, split timelines despite the Ocarina never doing that before, among other things) and its art style grates on me. I love the exploration freedom it brings, though.
Amazing video!! The audio however is very low, and even at full volume I'm struggling to listen to your voice.. everything else is super polished tho!
Noted! Future videos I will up the audio :)
What I love most about this game is the fact I get to battle against my favorite Link the hero of time as a undead warrior and he the best of them all, but I'm sad that knowing he dead at this time
a Zelda CZcamsr that isn’t blinded by nostalgia? insanity
What do you mean?
@@InfamousGengar youtubers always putting OoT in the highest tier
@@AlqhemyA Oh yeh
"are the best we've seen since ocarina of time captured our hearts" 10:31 perfect timing lol.
I actually enjoyed Twilight Princess during my playthrough, although I stopped at the Forest Temple due to getting stuck with its puzzles, but I do plan to return and finish Twilight Princess
I just started playing Twilight Princess last night and I saw some similarities on TP and OoT but I just ignored those and just continue on playing.
And I know that Ilia will have a Saria moment that will me me cry again, I just know it just don't spoil me plz.
Did you finish it?
Absolutely agree with this take! And sad that we're still waiting for the Switch port....
There will be none since it was on the Wii U.
I love Twilight Princess - especially Midna and Wolf Link; contrary to you, I also quite like the Castle in the Sky since Double Clawshot is awesome. Is it my favorite Zelda though? I guess I'd place MM first, OoT a very close second and TP a very close third.
Oh cool! :)
I really like twilight princess and is one of my favorite but I feel there was more potential there and wasn’t used to it’s fullest. I wish the music was used in a more meaningful way like in Oot and MM. The song of healing could have been used to heal some of the characters that were cursed, the song of time or sun to change day/night to complete tasks/dungeons etc. Really love have to use wolf link howl as the music instrument. I also missed the background music from other Zelda games. I love the eerie music feeling but it felt boring after a while if you are taking your time exploring the area. Is a great game and the story is awesome so it has potential to be even more awesome! I wished there was a continuation of twilight princess and see these characters again
4:32 YES, I love playing as the antagonist, Link!
Twilight Princess was given to me and I started playing it immediately, thanks to Hari!! S.O TO A GOOD MAN! After the forrest temple I fell in love and shortly after it became my favorite Zelda game in the series. In my opinion it was the single most well executed game in the series in that Zelda formula. Every corner I turned in the game and story, there was always something there to keep me on my toes! Also, I rather liked the Sky Temple, I HATED playing the temple of time and I still to this day can't tell you exactly why... I don't think it was executed as well as all of the other dungeons.
Thanks for the S.O uncle puddles😌😌. But damn Temple if time is my favorite dungeons in the series😔😔. To be fair, literally any of those dungeons r at least A tier for me, 6 being S tier quality imo
i’m not a fan of the back tracking you have to do in the temple of time, but i do like the architecture it’s very pretty, i think my fav dungeon from tp is probably arbiters grounds or the palace of twilight cause i love me some magical midna people 😂
Haha hey guys!
This game is still my favorite in the series, my only problem with it is that we may not get a masterpiece as good as this one again. Its in its own league.
Twilight Princess was always my favorite.
I respect that!
4:31 Ah yes, Link the antagonist. Great video though!
I realised the error shortly after uploading lol, thanks for watching :)
Never had a game cube and always loved Zelda. Looks like a must play!
I never had a GameCube ether.
It is😊
4:32 I think you confused “antagonist” with “protagonist”
I believe so :'D
I'm just so glad people are coming around to it. My theory is that people were thinking of it as a "Wii game" and that hurt its reception when it came out. The Wiimote controls were terrible and there was no option on that version to just plug in a gamecube controller.
It's the best selling LoZ title next to BoTW and ToTK, at release it sold almost 6mil copies. It's reception and reputation was never bad... your comment applies to Skyward Sword way more than it does to Twilight Princess.
The game that made me fall in love with the series after my sister let me play it on the wii at a young age
I view OoT, Majora’s Mask, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess as the Hero of Time Saga, the best group of Zelda games. People can hypothetically say that A Link to the Past into this group because of the Timeline, however, Ocarina of Time Link isn’t either mentioned or have impact in that game whatsoever.
Nice video. Twilight Princess I liked more with time. Its tone, the atmosphere, the characters etc. Its pretty much the third in the Ocarina trilogy. Majoras Mask still takes first place for me, Ocarina of Time 2nd, Twilight Princess 3rd, Windwaker 4th etc. Not really a fan of Skyward sword (still had excellent stuff).
Thats literally my order too!
Also easily my favorite, mostly because I'm a sucker for the feels and nothing delivers like Twilight Princess does. Some good moral lessons you can really absorb too, more than any other video game I can think of at the moment (though I heard Undertale is good for that...)
Some other points:
1) Lots of room for argument about dungeon ranking, but I think almost everyone agrees that Arbiter's Grounds and Snowpeak Ruins are the top two.
2) I love this game to pieces, but aren't we kinda overlooking that its flaws do exist: gameplay challenge is very uneven, usually incredibly easy/handholding/generous but a few parts early on that are way too hard all of a sudden (the first fight with Twilight creatures and the jousting). Also the Poe hunt is maddening, makes the Skulltullas look like a convenience (you can at least switch day and night in Ocarina).
3) I love the Wii controls, and the stamp collecting is a huge turn off so I've stayed away from the HD remake, graphics notwithstanding, but dude if we get motion controls and they revert the stamps in a Switch edition... oh boy...!
1:55 should have said like a flock of cuccos.
😂😂
Twilight princess is my favourite game in general, but also my favourite zelda game
I hope it comes to switch, I'd love to play the heck outta it portably
YES ME TOO!!
I think Nintendo missed an opportunity to add an underwater biome for Link to explore in TotK. The water temple is in the sky? That doesnt make any sense but ok. In Twilight Princess, the water tunic is so much cooler and is exactly what youd expect. Swimming up a waterfall is dumb.
Dark and well-written story,
Very good battle mechanics
Insanely good dungeons
Pretty good overworld
WOLF link !!!!!!!
........Perfect 10 !!!!!!!!
maaaaaan the sky dungeon has an insane saudade vibe tho
Adore TP from the bottom of my heart. It’s a close tie with ALTTP and BOTW when it comes to picking the best Zelda, but for the favorite, my choice has been made 🐺
Thank go's you like it!
Though twilight princess isn't open world and is therefore considered linear, it really is far from linear. The most linear dungeon in my opinion is the temple of time with a close second being the arbiter's grounds, all other dungeons in the game have a lot of backtracking and side routes you have take. On top of that the gameplay outside of dungeons is rarely linear, with more backtracking then all the dungeons combined, in my opinion anyways.
It's a hub based open world, it just isn't a full blown sandbox and it has way too much focus on a compelling and sensible narrative that it can't be nearly as non-linear as BotW, which I think works in its favor.
Twilight Princess was the first story game I ever played that I was truly invested in. I loved every second of it (minus the sky temple but even then it was only the gameplay it lacked it (and maybe the music honestly)). It’s the game that I have the most nostalgia for, and even to this day, it is THE BEST big studio game I’ve ever played (top 4 are Undertale, Celeste, Geometry dash and Twilight Princess).
"when this game comes to the Switch"
2 years later: much sadness.
“Why is Twilight Princess the best Zelda game to date?”
Nah, why is it not on the switch? That’s my question
Because it’s on the Wii U.
I think this is a well done video though I will take a moment to make some disagreements. I still believe strongly that OOT and MM are stronger at telling narratives through games. In particularly, I have a strong believe that OOT has a lot of subtle allegory and philosophy that is not immediately obvious to players, especially upon first viewing. I found the characters in both those games to say so much while saying so little with the text and the setting and music around them revealed a lot. While TP was always trying to hit you in the head with quirky characters that often said more but were hallow by comparison. Also, while I love Midna and Zant, the kind of muddy up their significance with the way the game ends which encapsulates how the story in TP was padded with more fluff opposed to OOT and MM which had much tighter story telling and evolution to the game. As far as the dungeons, I'll need to go back and play these games but despite my criticisms of Skyward Sword, I tended to believe they were the best design dungeons upon playing it the first time.
Not my favorite Zelda, but I understand how other people can view Twilight as their favorite. Ocarina of Time still takes top title for me. It was my first Zelda. I was there when it first released. It set off an earthquake across the game world. Nothing felt like it. It felt new. It redefined how gaming should be in 3D. Wind Waker felt fresh and new, but it didn't redefine gaming.
Twilight came along, and it really was Ocarina 2 in essence. It was great, but having experienced OoT when it was new meant that I couldn't be as surprised by the OoT template anymore. The one-of-a-kind quality of Ocarina was missing from the Twilight retread. Twilight is a wonderful retread though. I adore it. It is better than Ocarina in a variety of ways in its execution. But beyond just enhanced technical execution, the feeling of newness from OoT places it ahead of Twilight. And in my view, Breath of the Wild only loses to Ocarina by a hair.
BOTW and TOTK suck ass. Both are Minecraft clones. TP is the best even though I give respect to OoT for being the first.
It's my second favorite right behind BOTW. But I guess the only reason BOTW is my favorite is because I spent so much time with it. I enjoyed exploring the vast map with the different biomes and different game mechanics. I definitely understand how it was not very "Zelda" with the lack of dungeons and meh story, it was more a tech demo kind of game. Regardless, I enjoyed it because of the freedom and world exploration it offered.
I guess I had more fun with BOTW but in terms of Zelda I think TP takes the cake by a long shot. Enjoyed it quite a bit on my Wii u, Nintendo is so petty not porting it to switch.
If they port the game to the switch I hope they give the spinner the ability to rotate the day-night cycle. It could be explained in game with a god of rotation residing within the spinner.. or something. This would take one of the least useful items and turn it in to one of the most useful. Also, you would be getting this ability at the perfect time in the game, just after poe hunting is introduced. The other item that has a highly contrived use is the Dominion Rod. I'm not sure how you fix this item.
Actually you could just have a wolf link how like he does at the stones and have it like operate like the Ocarina

What song plays at 8:53?
Midnas Lament 😀
@@InfamousGengarMidna's lament plays at a faster tempo than the song being played there. Im guessing its a remix or cover.
@thatoneguy52884 you're right! It's Link will save us theme 😀
the thumbnail explains it all
Nintendo really outdid themselves with midnas lament.
It’s my favorite game I love it so much, I’m so sad it’s still not on the switch😭😭😭😭
It's on the Wii U.
Here on this channel we love all Zelda games!
We do :D
And that’s the only rule!
Bought this game today for $15 ever since getting my Wii back. I'm so overjoyed at how much I remember and also forgot. 🤣🤣🤣
Bro same
Ocarina is my first zelda, twilight is my favorite, tears is coming in hot to first place
Nah, tears the worst 3d zelda.
TP was my first Zelda game and my God is it just as good as I remember
another thing about TP that is barely talked about is the combat. It is the best of all zelda games with exception of botw because of the progressive new moves which have never been in a zelda game before
Ppl bashed the hell out of this game and now are barely realizing it's a masterpiece. It forever holds a special place in my heart alongside ocarina
Agree with all
The one way you know something is good is if it actually gets someone who HATES the larger series as a whole... to say it's one of their favorite games.
Even I, not giving a rat about Zelda, can't stress enough that this game... this one game... is such an amazing piece of art all around that I can honestly call it one of my favorite games EVER.
AND one of my favorite stories ever.
I’ve never played this one.. But judging from the footage I’ve seen it actually does come across as possibly the best one they’ve ever done..
Twilight Princess is the Zelda formula perfected, BOTW and TOTK feel nothing like zelda
TOTK is the worst 3D zelda game in my opinion, fuck link's fake ass.
Twilight Princess is a pedestrian masterpiece. A solid entry into the series, without being revolutionary. If its your first Zelda game I understand why you love it, but if its your tenth then you realize you've seen it all before.
For my part the best zelda game oceraina/ majora mask twillight princess. Zelda twilight princess is my best memories when it finaly came out. I wold know i finished the game in 1 week after it came out. Timeless 😍
twilight princess + BOTW seems to be what is happening with BOTW2 as nintendo has confirmed that the game will be a lot darker and harder but will also be open world obviously. i really hope nintendo can master that. LOZTP is the best story telling game i have ever played and has some of the best dungeons, although it was quite linear and didnt allow for that much exploration. on the other hand, BOTW had the best open world and exploration experience of every game ive played but lacked a challenge and a deep main story + dungeons. if they can pull it off and make a dark, story driven, open world, dungeon ridden, emotional iteration of hyrule, it could quite possibly be the best rated video game of all time.
"didn't allow for much exploration"
I think we haven't played the same game.
Jirard from The Completionist showed the exploration in TP being almost perfect, since it's *the only 3D zelda game* which is actually fun to 100%.
If Twilight Princess didn't have technical limitations for the music (like an orchestra) like IGN noticed back in 2006, easily it could have been the best action-adventure game ever.
There are many things in BOTW that are just wrong, even small stuff like the weapons menu for instance, when WRPGs games use a circular menu like Twilight Princess and put the weapons in proper categories (and don't waste inventory space), BOTW for some reason has a straight horizontal bar during real time and has a grid for the pause menu, when you get a lot of weapons, it really gets bloated.
I just looked at BOTW gameplay and walkthroughs, not interested on actually playing it, not a fan of huge games that are a checklist for finding stuff (and filler), and the korok seeds don't help.
That's a fair point about Botw not having the weapon wheel, i always preferred the wheel to be honest
It was pretty fun to 100% to be fair
You make some interesting points
What's your favourite Zelda? :P
Skyward Sword until BotW replaced it.
Twilight Princess
@@rheafonfabre Yes!
@@IanHsieh I can understand that!
To me this is my favorite game of all time. Ocarina was my first zelda game and I love it still but this game man. The story is so deep and I think it has the best character development, dungeons, bosses, combat, art style, and themes in the series. Oh and I loved the oot similarities cuz it felt like I was continuing the games legacy and closing out that chapter in the hero of times story arc. The hidden skills were amazing. Do I have issue w it? Oh yea. The sidequests t lacking in number, the items r underutilized, the tutorial is brutal, And the overworld could have used more content. But man to me what this game does right, like botw(my 2nd favorite), it does soooooooooo right. The music is so atmospheric, the world is designed really well and it’s so beautiful, and again al I listed above. Over that past years my rankings of the Zelda a games have changed from time to time, but there’s always been one constant m. TP has always been 1, and. I don’t know it can be topped. Botw 2 looks like it might, but idk of it can match the themes, character work, beauty, atmosphere, tone, maturity, dungeosn, bosses, combat, variety, and epicness of the masterpiece known as the legend of Zelda twilight princess
The first zelda game I played on the Wii
Still have my old N64 and GameCube. When I get bored with all my other games I always fire up those two classics. Twilight princess is better in my humble opinion. I used to spend hours doing the canoe bomb arrow challenges just for fun. So much side stuff to do
I just bought that game on the old Wii for me and my kids and came here to see if I didn't waste my 20$ on it looks like this video prove me it's a great game.
I personally love it and I think you will to :)
TP has the best combat
Agreed. Ut's a lot better than Oot or MM in terms of hitbox and moves.
Okay so Ive played both twilight and windwaker recently and I CANNOT understand why people love windwaker and praise it unconditionally. Its short boring and half the time you are just sailing until you get teleportation and swift sail. TWILIGHT WAS GORGEOUS AND NOW MY SECOND FAVORITE ZELDA GAME. (Majora mask the best)
BOTW/TOTK suck and sadly are soft sequels of WW. They abandoned the old formula of which TP/Skyward Sword were the last to be made.
I like WW, but the sailing mechanic ruins the game. Also toon links annoying.
Although I still think oot is number 1 and its also my number 1. If oot didnt exist, twilight princess would be my number 1.
