I’m about three hours into Zelda: The Twilight Princess, and I just now have obtained a sword and shield, and found out that I’m stuck as a wolf until I do something in the twilight relm.
I don’t know if it is just me or what, but the “tutorial” phase of Zelda games has been getting longer and longer. I sorta consider the tutorial phase over when I have a sword and shield and enough areas are open that I can do some exploring.
My favorite part of zelda is exploring and just figuring stuff out. I just now feel sorta like I can do that and I’m stuck as a damned wolf, which so far I do not like being, and I’m three hours into the thing.
It has mostly been hoop jumping, and maybe one ‘puzzle’ early on so I could figure out how to use the hawk and fishing rod, but that is it. The rest has been silly training exercises….for three hours.
There has been no serious ass-kicking, or even link wearing a green tunic…no, silly wolf crap, and ‘hoops’ to jump through. (yes, even getting the lantern and releasing the kid and monkey felt like a hoop more than part of the adventure)
Anyway, give me three more hours and I’m sure it will get better…plus, playing for more than half an hour at a time will probably improve this.
