It's not as good as Wind Waker but it's still fantastic by anyone's standards. Certainly one of the best action/adventure games I've ever played.  Damn it now I wanna play it again.

Obvious statement is obvious.  :)

Fast reply!   Well, there's been some backlash since it got released wouldn't you say? "

Totally. I started the series with Wind Waker and I've played the all the others since then, maybe that gave me a different perspective I dunno. I just think the dungeons and bosses in this game are expertly designed. If I had one complaint it would be that the overworld is slightly hard to navigate since it's more like a series of corridors than an actual "world"

I found it boring.  I loved the other Zelda games I played before it, but TP was the only one I had to convince myself to finish.

As someone who isn't the biggest fan of the Zelda Franchise, I don't really like TP. I personally think that the game feels like it is going through the motions of a Zelda game, and in any aspect where they had the option to change something or keep it the same, they kept it the same to its own detriment. It just came off as soulless to me. It's competently made for sure (and I would rather play it than Majora's Mask, but that's another story), but that doesn't make it any less of a bummer.
 
 Wind Waker, for all it's obnoxious design (Sailing, the triforce scavenger hunt at the end of the game), felt like a Zelda game made with effort.

What backlash? It has been out for 4 years, what has been said about the game is done and over with. One mans review and the whole internet goes into meltdown.   

Yes, you found it great, others didn't and you know what? That was their experience. Leave it to be. "

This game is totally a Legend of Zelda game.

The only Zelda game I've played from start to finish was The Ocarina of Time.  I watched my friend play some of this and it seemed pretty good, so nice to hear it turned out well from you, josty82.

I enjoyed this game more than Wind Waker and find it better.

I really loved Twilight Princess, I thought it was a great mix of callbacks to stuff like Ocarina of Time and new and original content. One of my favourite Wii games if not my favourite.

Yep, this game is awesome. Aside from the fetch quest near the end, that is.

omg lyk its so gd ytf did jeff give it a 8.9
 
I really want to get the game for Gamecube, since I don't have a Wii.

Other than the boss battles, I really loved the game as well. My only gripes were the boss battles as said before (I felt they were way too easy) and I just didn't feel as much of a drive to do side exploring as I have in earlier zeldas. The aesthetic and design of the boss battles were awesome though. The spider and the snow monster's wife come to mind for sure. As a matter of fact, the whole snow monster's temple was a fantastic experience. I didn't even realize I was going through a temple till I got about halfway through.

" @josty81: I own it, but I've never really gotten into it (only like an hour and a half in).  Does it get better? "

I don't see how talking about the game being good is an issue. You're really asking others not to discuss something on an internet forum because you personally don't feel like talking about it? You could just avoid this thread. "

TP is my second favourite Zelda, right behind Wind Waker. Some of the dungeons could have been better, but the bosses were the best in the series, I thought. This thread reminds me that I need to play through it again.

Twilight Princess is my favorite Zelda game. Majora's Mask is second. So yeah, pretty awesome game.

The only problem I had with Twilight Princess was that I wished it was a more succinct experience. I believe I spent 50+ hours playing it. I can't remember how much I loved OoT so at the moment it's my second favorite Zelda right below LttP.

Best Zelda since A link to the past.
Hated oot, liked majoras mask, detested completely wind waker...  I loved Twilight princess, and its just sad to see the next Zelda being ruined by Miyamoto's consistent low talent which makes him instead of changing, and or evolving the series, making sequels...he just remakes his game over and over and over and over again.

What I want to know is...
 
GameCube version or Wii version?
 
I got a Wii in April and am in constant debate with that issue. Haven't gotten the game cause I just don't know!

I can't speak of the GameCube version, but I played the Wii version and loved it. I found the controls worked well. Hands free is for me, Wii Remote and Nunchuk. "

Twilight Princess is a great game.  I'm not a huge Zelda fan by any stretch, but I really liked a lot of what Twilight Princess did, especially in terms of presenting the story.  It was a nice change of pace from some earlier games, even if people still insist on bitching about the lack of voice acting.

It's not bad, but it isn't awesome either IMO.

Twilight Princess is my favourite Zelda game. Long, epic, and had a good story. Unfortunately due to it's length I can't really replay it, I tried one time and realized it would take too long to see and experience my highlights. 

The overall story was decent but I felt zero motivation for anything I was doing. Hyrule was dead in TP. In OoT and Majora's you basically went around forging bonds with representatives of all the different areas of the land you were trying to save, in Twilight Princess it felt like a day job, not a heroic act. 

I liked Twilight Princess. It didn't revolutionize the franchise, but you can make the argument that other Nintendo games recycle material as well.

I promised myself I would replay it at some point, it really is a pretty good game but I had to struggle to finish it back when it came out. Same thing happened with Phantom Hourglass.  Does some neat things with its story though. 
 
Or maybe I won't replay it and just hope that I'll like Skyward Sword more.

Twilight Princess is my second favorite Zelda game. And I think most people agree that it's a good game. You could pick any Zelda game and there would be people who don't like it. But they're all good games (I don't think the CD-I ones count as Zelda games. It's the Never Say Never Again of the Zelda universe).

I didn't care much for it, it had it's moments but overall it wasn't very memorable. Loved the look of it though.

Wii is pretty much the gamecube version but flipped so Link can use his right hand and also the controls.  The controls work really well. "

I just started playing about 3 weeks ago. It's consumed me, and I don't understand why people find this Zelda inferior to others in the series. It's a refined Zelda game with a slightly more mature tone to the storytelling.

Yeah, it's pretty great.
