While Twilight Princess is my favorite Zelda game (and also in my top 3 favorite games next to P4 and MGS 3), that I can 100% see where Jeff is coming from. Twilight Princess certainly felt as safe and middle of the road as it got, and it's more apparent after it followed up Majora's Mask and Wind Waker. But there was something about the setting and world that made me fall in love with it back when I first played it and the dungeons are among my favorites in the series (except the monkey dungeon). I also do agree with Dan about how it does feel like a return to form, but I'd say it's more of a return to standard open field Ocarina-esque Zelda.
