flameboy Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 well here is a handy site: http://www.twilight-calculator.us.tt/ for calculating how much of Zelda you have completed. Here's what I came out as: You have completed 56.229% of The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. this is despite me being up to Hyrule Castle so still plenty to go, I havn't done many sidequests as all so comes as no surprise.
pedrocasilva Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Surely that'd make Zelda - "Queen Zelda" as opposed to merely "Princess Zelda".In some countries, there can't be a Queen, as in... not married, thus, even if there's no king... She remains a princess, although this time with power of decision over the country. Zelda surely fits in, as for the king getting killed... Dunno, natural deaths happen.
flameboy Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 well finally just completed this, was a little disappointed by the ease at which the final boss was done, but overall loved it, felt a lot more epic than the previous ones. and the final final battle is pretty awesome in grandeur! much better than Wind Wakers end boss, so much better infact more than makes up for it. Am sat watch the credits now, is nice to see Hyrule returned to a joyous happy place, with everyone celebrating! and seeing what various characters are up to. is it as good as OOT? will have to reserve judgement for when I've completed all the side quests on this run. and then played through it again, see how it feels 2nd time through. because OOT is still just as good no matter how many times you play, I've lost count of how many times I've done it...I hope TP ends up the same. anyway I've got red steel waiting to be complete now.... EDIT: Am I right in thinking there is no way off "The End" Screen?! EDIT 2: ahh it faded away eventually...
Jonwah Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I believe somebody said the king was mentioned once. When was that I don't remember? I just assumed that Zelda was ruling over the kingdom and there was no king, for whatever reason. In Zelda 2 after the king dies, Hyrule is led by the 'prince of hyrule' not the king. He retains the title of prince (so I recall). So clearly they've kept with that idea here. Also, the Twilight Princess rules over the Twilight realm, but she's still a princess. Also the game took me 55 hours to complete, minus about 10 poes. But I've started again to see how much I enjoy it the second time through... It's still quite a lot.
motion Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 well finally just completed this, was a little disappointed by the ease at which the final boss was done, but overall loved it, felt a lot more epic than the previous ones. I agree the final boss was probably the easiest final boss of all 4 3D Zelda games which is a big shame. and the final final battle is pretty awesome in grandeur! much better than Wind Wakers end boss, so much better infact more than makes up for it. I actually played the end of Wind Waker again. Those 3 transformations of Ganon were awesome but comparing the WW ganon sword fighting to the TP one... I found the WW one infinately more challenging and hard! Setting wise I'm torn, it was cool to be in Hyrule Field for a change but the drowning Hyrule had a nice epic feel as well. I liked them both. Am sat watch the credits now, is nice to see Hyrule returned to a joyous happy place, with everyone celebrating! and seeing what various characters are up to. Did Hyrule change during the end credits? Seemed to be the same happy, joyous place as it was after Arbiters Grounds!
Chuck Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Im just before the sky temple, and the enthusiasm is going slightly
motion Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Just be sure to have a stress ball for the City in the Sky.
Chuck Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 It was pretty bad in the temple of time, constantly swearing and swinging, which made in worse
motion Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Ah but in the temple of time you pretty much follow a straight line, going from room to room, and then double back to the entrance... The City in the Sky is more frustrating than the Water Temple in OOT (which I thought was pretty cool and not THAT hard)

Seemed to be the same happy, joyous place as it was after Arbiters Grounds! point taken, I'm gonna go back to WW at some point, but gonna do OOT and MM first I think. well it didn't so much change, just had people celebrating in the castle square etc... Link went back to the villiage which was once again inhabited by everybody...
Cube Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 The City in the Sky is more frustrating than the Water Temple in OOT (which I thought was pretty cool and not THAT hard) How is it even slightly frustrating? It was quite complex, but would of been better a bit more so. edit: Yea, final boss was easy. At least it wasn't as easy as OoT or WW (WW was way too easy, a end boss that takes a few minutes??)
motion Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 The depth of the City in the Sky can be summed up like this: Find the next clawshot point. No other skill required apart from that, in room after room. Why is it frustrating apart from that? Because it's fairly boring in my opinion and if you forget to do one thing at the very end you have to do the entire length of the temple again. Not to mention it's very very confusing. Not quite what I was expecting from a rumoured 'Sky Temple'

Not quite what I was expecting from a rumoured 'Sky Temple' If the "forget to do one thing" is pulling the switch which starts the fan at the end then you do know you can climb up a pillar in that main room and clawshot your way back up! In other words you don't have to go through the whole temple again!
Emasher Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 wow i've only about 60-70% compleated the game beter get back to it
motion Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Ok well didn't know that TL lol - I thought that seemed a very un-Zelda like thing to do in a temple design.
Eddage Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Ok well didn't know that TL lol - I thought that seemed a very un-Zelda like thing to do in a temple design. Its one of the first things I discovered becuase I tried to clawshot up there right at the start of the temple when the fan was still going (it took me ages to realise that you could clawshot onto the window with the hole in it)!
Nintendork Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Midna's mask was the embodiment King of Hyrule. When it was completed it was a near match, including crown and beard of the King from Wind Waker. When the mask was completed, Midna turned into the spider beast.. and cracked his/her way into the castle through the golden mesh. I think when the mask was cracked by Ganon the King of Hyrule's spirit was destroyed.. it was symbolising the end of his reign- in his palms. It's about as vague as I can make it.
motion Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Hmmm interesting theory but it doesn't make much sense surely? When Zant turns Midna into her imp form, she seems to summon the top part of the mask... how does that fit in? Also, a question... I didn't realy understand what that was all about. She got turned into an imp, created this mask thing of hers and then has the most evil, devilish grin ever. Any ideas? As a side note, as soon as I saw the eye on Midna's mask, I immediately thought of Majora's Mask:
Jasper Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Exactly. there's something very Majora's Mask about that thing. it looks great, though, but the mask of Midna has nothing to do with the King of Hyrule. I'm sure the King hasn't got much to do with the story at all, aside from being murdered by Ganondorf or something of that matter. it's simple, I think. I hope they create another Zelda: Gaiden for Wii, focusing on the origins of Majora's Mask. Sort of make two stories that keep coming back: the one with Ganon and the one with majora. it would be awesome. maybe they can do the story that was told in the manga itteration comicbook of Majora's Mask about Fierce Deity Link helping the monster finnally getting rest within the mask? It would be great.
darksnowman Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 According to that site calculator Im a mere 26% through it. Ive done up to and including the fourth level (desert) but I guessed the number of hearts, bugs, poes and all that I have. Apparently Im only a quarter of the way through?! Jeekers.
Din Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 The best thing about the City in the sky was the boss. Such a cool fight!

Well you're half way through the main quest. That site calculator is a tad odd.
Jasper Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Just started playing A Link To the Past. Now, you can't deny that the controls from the Wii are bettern, can you? I've just started (east palace, he I come (and there I died again)), and it's a nice game (The original kakariko village tune! What a beaut, even for it's time). But right now, I still rpefer 3D zeldas. Perhaps because 2D never was my thing. I hated mario in 2D, I couldn't last aa level in it. 3D is my thing.
motion Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Oh come on!! How can you compare 2D Zelda's (especially one made, what, 16 years ago?) to 3D ones? Of course the controls are better! You had a d-pad and 4 buttons in A Link to the Past LOL.
