Today’s game is Twilight Princess. Specifically the new Dusk port that came out. I’ve had a rocky relationship with Twilight Princess in the past. I’m not a fan of how some of the human characters look (and by that I mean the “Tim Burton-esque” look I hear people praise it for) and I’m also not a fan of how long it takes to get started. These are not to say I think it’s a bad game. Far from it. But from a personal perspective I am not a fan.
What do I like though? I like the way the world looks. Especially the twilight sections. They have this nice copper ish and warm lighting that’s gorgeous on the models.
And the water? God it looks amazing. It’s like a perfect sequel to what I loved about Ocarina of Times water. The sound, color, and texture are all amazing. I think I could be water boarded with this water and be happy about it.
While we’re on the subject of this water, I want to talk more about its location (Hyrule Field). This one I feel like is a complaint. But there’s some places in this game that feel almost empty in a way? Like just vast spaces with a little bit too much space. Sometimes I feel like an ant. Maybe I’m used to Ocarina of Time’s Hyrule Field, but this feels bleak and maze like by comparison.
I do like how the Mail Man hums the item get Jingle though. That got a laugh out of me.
Ultimately I have some things I like about this game, others not so much. I’m determined to see it through this time though compared to all my other runs. So we’ll see if I follow through.
