Johnny vs. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

In tonight's episode, it's the Zelda game fans clamored for years after Ocarina of Time! It's The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and I'm looking back with the 2016 HD Remaster for the Nintendo Wii U!

"Maybe Skyward Sword will be my next Majora's Mask! Who knows? Wishful thinking." Oh man...I think SS gets too much hate, and I honestly enjoyed it, but let me tell you right now Johnny, that's not happening.

[@Nuvendil]

[@gumgrapes]

Who, Egoraptor? That guy's a bad joke. He's made one constructive, well thought out review in his entire life, and the rest of his career on the internet has been shit. I can't take his opinion of Skyward Sword seriously.

[@JorDrakonis]

One of the things I like about Twilight Princess that Johnny didn't touch on too much are the little silly, but strangely fulfilling things it does. The music changing into this heroic theme when you opened a boss' weakspot, Link doing this cool little victory animation when you sheath your sword right after defeating a stronger enemy, the ability to swing your weapon while running or riding... Individually these all seem pretty pointless, but they feel sooo good. It's also worth noting that while Link in this game isn't as expressive as Toon Link in WW, he still does convey emotion quite well and I do feel like the cutscenes are used quite effectively throughout the game.

[@KairuHakubi]

i guess the changing music is the reason it couldn't be orchestrated but honestly i can't tell it apart from the orchestrated version they DID do

[@pinipigboy]

I think the mirroring on the Wii version happened to avoid having to reprogram stuff like doors opening and certain enemy animations to match Link. I dunno though.

[@nathaneskin3572]

Sagan Rauscher They probably could have just mirrored a few things but I bet mirroring the whole game was quicker

[@TheMaestroChannel]

You're right. While switching his model to be right handed would be fairly simple there's a lot of other variants that people don't consider. Doors, combat moves, cutscenes and many more minor details would've been broken. Unfortunately when I played the Wii version it was really hard to adjust to everything being mirrored but if it's your first play through it shouldn't be that difficult. The devs went through a lot of trouble to finish the game but I really think they should've put the effort in to properly program the Wii version.

[@nathaneskin3572]

TheMaestroChannel Or they could have just kept it in the left hand and you could just hold the remote in the left hand if you wanted, or not, it's not 1:1 like Skyward Sword so it wouldn't have made much of a difference.

[@nathaneskin3572]

TheMaestroChannel Honestly Twilight Princess had a surprisingly uncharacteristic lack of polish for a Zelda game. For instance, there are two separate occasions in the game where if you save and quit, you won't be able to finish the game because of the location you end up in when you boot it back up.

[@nathaneskin3572]

StaySkeptic Yep, the other time it happens is if you save after eldin bridge disappears, but before entering the twilight. You'll start back up on the wrong side of the bridge with no way to get over to the entrance to the twilight.

[@SliderGamer55]

I actually do like TP more than WW, but to this day, its still deeply embarrassing the amount of butthurt people had towards WW's art style. Anytime that's brought up, I seriously feel the need to emphasize that that was entirely stupid.

[@Ray_2112]

Yeah, but let's forget it, it was long ago. Seems people learned their lesson (at least in Zelda) and similar complaints about BOTWs artstyle were quite less and only at the beginning.

I'm surprised that you didn't mention that freaky-ass scene. You know the one, the one where everybody's pupils disappear, dark Links pop up, and falling Ilias. That scared the crap of me. Although, growing up. The game is more focused on dark and gritty graphics as opposed to a dark story. Not that the game can't get dark at times, but compare that to Majora's Mask where it had a dark story that came along with its scary visuals. There's a good reason why Majora's Mask has all of those theory videos and creepypastas.

[@VladNorris]

"There's a good reason why Majora's Mask has all of those theory videos and creepypastas" People like to overthink, suck at reading comprehension and don't take Nintendo's word about Link genuinely not dying at the beginning of the game. Seriously(even though I can get WHAT you're getting at...that I feel is a major reason to the theories specially)

"I'm a casual Zelda fan." *Dresses like a Kokiri*

[@Robbie_Haruna]

Honestly, despite all the Ocarina of Time comparisons. This game covers pretty much every base better, (especially in regards to dungeons, since OOT's were the definition of bare bones for the most part, likely to keep puzzles simple given the leap to 3D.) This includes Hyrule Field too. I didn't appreciate it as much in my first run, but when going for all the Heart Pieces in my most recent run, there's a surprising amount of goodies you can find hidden about, and between Wolf Link, Epona usually being available and warps that are actually useful for transportation (unlike OOT's warps,) transportation around never really felt TOO tedious for the most part.

[@andrewdominy1334]

Agreed

[@abloogywoogywoo]

I'd say both have aged horribly. At least Ocarina's soundtrack still puts me in the mood.

[@callmejoe8594]

For a while I was pretty sore with TP, but after my recent playthrough with the HD port, I really gained a better appreciation for the second half, even after playing BOTW (The world and shrines were great, but the dungeons are pretty meh. This games was still almost excellent to me though). If I were to rate the two halves of TP and OoT: 1st half: OoT- 7 TP-5.5 2nd half: OoT- 8 TP-9 But this is just my simple opinion.

[@icantthinkofagoodname7837]

Gotta be honest here. I find OoT overrated, but I'd pick that game over TP. TP just dragged way to much for me.

[@theshadowenigma4919]

Interesting, one of the few things I think Ocarina has over TP and frankly over most of the 3D zeldas is the dungeons. I'm of the opinion that Ocarina dungeons are better than almost all other dungeons in 3D zelda games, but that many other aspects of Ocarina are weaker than the other titles. Just my opinion though.

[@xSilentZeroXx]

I don't think the constant comparisons to Ocarina of Time are necessarily a bad thing. Bear in mind, when this game came out, there were four 3D Zelda games. 1. the codifier for a "3D Zelda game" (Ocarina of Time) 2. a very different take on a "3D Zelda game" (Majora's Mask) 3. another very different take on a "3D Zelda game" (The Wind Waker) Then we got Twilight Princess, which I do honestly believe is "a 3D Zelda game, perfected". I think many have watched Egoraptor's Sequelitis on Ocarina of Time by now, and while he was overly nitpicky, he was still right about a lot of things. Things like those sliding pucks from around corners (which as noted, make much more sense in a town-down environment), the annoyance of trying to kill keese in 3D space, and the shoot-the-eye switch "puzzles". That's not to say Ocarina of Time is a bad game, though. Hell, it's not saying that it's anything less than a spectacular game. It's just, it's not perfect. And as time goes on, it does slowly show its age more and more. It's still timeless in many ways, but nevertheless dated in others. A lot of the things that brought Ocarina of Time down were streamlined and improved in Twilight Princess. Sliding pucks don't exist. There isn't a single eye switch in the game. And, while The Wind Waker is the one to take credit for this particular change, keese now float around within sword's length for a few moments before attacking you. Among other things like that. It's essentially what one could call "Ocarina of Time: Hindsight Edition". Something wasn't so great before? It's better here. So yeah, I don't mind that Twilight Princess isn't that different from Ocarina of Time. You want different? Try Majora's Mask. Try Wind Waker. Try Skyward Sword. Hell, try Breath of the Wild. That just came out less than two months ago. I don't mind another traditional entry, especially when said entry is good. The Zelda series as a whole is very experimental and I don't mind it taking things easy once in a while. (also, as a personal aside regarding Hyrule Field in this game, there's actually a good few mini-dungeons scattered about that are worth checking out. It's not a whole lot to do, but it's nice.)

Daniel Lado majora's mask? that game was dark as fuck

[@Leo-pw3kf]

Yeah, I think Twilight Princess captured quite well the creepy vibes of areas such as the Well or the Forest Temple in Ocarina of Time. Particularly at the final section of the game, when you enter the Twilight Realm in order to face Zant; there is just something eerie about the Twili, those gray sausage people with squeaky voices. Skyward Sword is one of the weakest Zelda games, in my opinion, because in trying to mix Twilight Princess with Wind Waker, it lost what makes both special. It lacks TP/OoT/MM's dark atmosphere, as well as WW's goofy charm.

[@wilytw]

Listening to BSC over the years has made me aware (very much so...) to the constant comparisons of TP to Oot. I was fully expecting Johnny to tear into the game for this, so I was honestly shocked when he acknowledged doing so would be hypocritical, due to his love of ALBW. This, ladies and gentlemen, is how you review: you can point out the games flaws, without seeming like an asshole.

[@bunsmasterbunny]

I was pleasantly surprised. I was worried he'd say it's too similar to Ocarina of Time simply because it has the most call backs. But those call backs are all very minor and inconsequential and aren't what make the game what it is which makes it far more original of an experience than the detractors would often state.

[@callmejoe8594]

I kinda predicted 2 years ago that his opinion of TP was gonna essentially be his ''It's a bigger game'' thing he had with OoT. But even then he seems more positive about it than I expected.

[@BorderHopperJ]

"But why do I have to talk to all of these cats in the second visit to get to the next dungeon? There is no correlation to that whatsoever." Probably no correlation because that's just a side quest to get a piece of heart. Then again, I haven't played the HD remake so they easily could've made that worse like how Grezzo made Majora's Mask 3D's bosses worse for no reason. Also I'll defend Twilight Princess's tutorial, kind of. They made the tutorial long to accommodate the wii version since they had to get you used to the bizarre alien world of MOTION CONTROLS. Motion controls aren't exactly second nature and you kind of want to have your babby hands held, otherwise you're just swinging your wiimotes around like a drunk person at a rave party. It's also why I think the Skyward Sword tutorial was long as hell too since that was just an orgy of motion controls. Unfortunately, those who had the superior gamecube version had to endure the great slogfest as well. My main gripe with it is that you can't skip it in future playthroughs, so that's when it starts becoming shoddy game design. I believe that any game with integrated tutorials should give you an option to skip them in secondary playthroughs. It's funny since TP is the first Zelda game to have skippable cutscenes. Shame Skyward Sword didn't keep that.

[@bunsmasterbunny]

The tutorial also gives the player an emotional connection with the characters as you see Link's relationship with Colin and Ilia.

[@TheGlasgowGamer]

I has been waiting for this for so long! Next to Majora's Mask, this is easily my favourite 3D Zelda game. An entertaining story progression, fantastic music, smooth and satisfying combat mechanics, a realistic, yet surreal Hyrule field, and the best horseback in the series, making the open world fun to travel through. The variety of dungeons just made the game so impressive since the quality never degraded once in that regard. Also at 12:02 was always something I pondered on too, Johnny, haha.

Full version of Skulltula-Man please Johnny!

[@JMandJJ7797]

I got the HD remastered version of Twilight Princess and loved it. Glad you liked it too Johnny. Also I do agree Zant is a better villain then Ganondorf. Same can be said for Minish Cap Vaati.

[@Mekboy_ComputerMonster]

I like Ganon/Ganondorf, but I can understand he gets used alot. Zant is pretty cool, but I think Skull kid and Majora are my favorite Zelda villains. Skull kid for his tragic story and Majora for how despicable the mask is.

[@ThaArabScarab]

That “Skulltula Man” joke may be one of the most genius jokes I’ve ever heard jesus

[@ShayyTV]

Twilight Princess is my favorite video game ever. But I understand your criticisms and issues. I'm glad you had fun with this one, at least. (The double Clawshots were so good that Skyward Sword threw them in just to have them. I really hope that becomes a series staple!)

[@Nintendotron64]

9:40 I agree. Really not a fan of how Ganondorf basically hijacked the plot at the last minute. I realize it's tradition and all but it really wasn't necessary. Zant's boss fight was creative, and from we see at the end, I think he's more than capable of holding a story on his own. Nintendo should've just let him fly solo.

[@sterlingmuse5808]

They learned from that with Vaati and whats-his-face from Link Between Worlds, at least. Yes I know Vaati was before this game. Just felt he fit the bill.

[@nickcorvus7524]

What people don't understand is that without Ganondorf, the plot and theme of TP for the most part doesn't work. Ganondorf is even the entire basis for Zant's development as a character. I feel Ganondorf's presence in the plot is much more important than most people give it.

[@lasseplatburk]

There were a few improvements from OOT that I think you should have mentioned, like not having to constantly bring up the menu in order to put the iron boots on and off, or the fact that Link can actually swim more freely in the lakebed temple, as well as use his sword under water.

[@shad0wxflames527]

[@BlazingBlueSwords]

I like to think that Ganondorf was distracted by the fishing rod because he secretly is a fishing rod crafter and was admiring the wonderful craftsmanship of Link's fishing rod

IVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS MOMENT

[@ocarinaplaya]

I blew my load at the E3 trailer. It was so hype! I was expecting something with an involved story like OoT and an expansive open world (like Breath of the Wild). When I finally got the game, I played it nonstop for most of a week. I was let down. It was okay, but didn't keep me awake with good bits of story or particular puzzles like OoT did. And the world was a bit bigger, but had less to do in it. The final battle was amusing, but didn't have the jaw-dropping impact that Ganon had in OoT. Basically I enjoyed TP more when I stopped comparing it to OoT.

[@dragonballhaven1417]

Ocarina of times story wasn't that great to me it wasn't some masterful storytelling with amazing characters it was kinda basic and reminded me alot of link to the past. What did you see in the story that was so good. I'm not attacking you just asking

Here's hoping the HD versions of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess get ported to the Switch, preferably as a bundle. Seriously, do you have any IDEA how LONG I've wanted to play Twilight Princess on the go? I had hoped the New 3DS would indulge me in that regard, but... no dice.

[@robraze]

[@KoopaKid2000]

Twilight Princess has some of my favorite dungeons in the franchise. They're standard fare for sure but I always found them interesting and fun to travel through. Also I love the bosses. It's so awesome to watch a boss get damaged and then that tune starts going as you slice the fuck outta the boss.

[@RobeezyLoudenProud]

IIRC, I believe the challenge of talking to all the cats in the Hidden Village was only a side quest for a heart piece. The initial Moblin raid at Hidden Village was necessary for story progression.

[@EndorphinSauce]

This is probably the best intro so far (save for some of the opening skits). Love the rebrand!

[@felixdaniels37]

I still find it funny how, after all this time, Wind Waker, the "kiddy, Disney-esque" Zelda still holds up better and is remembered more fondly then the darker Zelda.

[@superapm9620]

What's truly funny is the fact that despite having a kiddy aesthetic, WW is actually much darker than TP. Though while WW masks those themes with a colorful exterior, TP tries *way* to damn hard to be dark.

[@chillplayer1234]

Wind Waker is boring.

[@ethanc.1443]

Wind Waker is really just as dark as any Zelda game. Zelda games in general have always had dark moments.But they only stand out in Majora's Mask.

[@callmejoe8594]

+loafhero True, the palette didn't do TP any favors, but I think the textures ( HD version fixes that nicely) and model geometry was what really did it in. So much stuff looked smeared or conspicuously blocky like the trees. The rest of the game wasn't visually appealing enough the compensate for the muted colors. After seeing how the Wii U did with games like Hyrule Warriors and BoTW. The NX should be able to pull of this Tolkien artstyle better with better textures and models.

I don't think he'll like the next two to be honest. I hope people don't go totally nuts when he doesn't have only absolute praise for botw.

[@SideShowBatt]

I'm hoping for a middle of the road. I do love Skyward but I will admit it has its problem but it also has its charms which made me love it and made it my third favorite Zelda.

[@Nuvendil]

ScariestFlame For SS it's all down to the controls. If he is down with them, I could see the game coming in right behind MM for him. No tedious overworld (the sky is faster to traverse), fantastic level design in the sort of regions surrounding the dungeons, fantastic dungeon designs, a very vibrant aesthetic, creative new tools, and great writing. Basically all the stuff he likes with less of the fluff. It's all going to come down to the controls and his opinion on Fi. Breath of the Wild ks a wild card, we'll just have to see.

[@aperson6505]

The overworld is still very barebones, which is part of his complaint, though.

[@OstianOwl]

Probably one of my favorite runs of Twilight Princess was playing the HD re-release in Hero Mode with the Ganondorf amiibo scanned for x4 damage. Really changed up how I played the game and gave me a newfound appreciation for potions; it was a frustrating and hilarious time where a minor nick in the original could be a critical wound. Probably the only way I can play the game now to be honest.

[@NuclearRockstarMD]

You're talking about the two Zelda games I re-bonded with my mother over! Such good memories of Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, the latter which is a favorite of mine. Can't wait to see what you think of it once you finish it

[@tarttooth6022]

Twilight Princess provided the most enthralling experience I've ever had playing a single player game. might have helped that I was 14 at the time and that TP was my first 3D Zelda but I still think this game is great. Severely underrated by nit-picky Zelda fans.

[@tarttooth6022]
