Twilight Princess had it's moments of eccentricity (cannon clown, Quirky Hyrule Resistence Squad, Midna's general presence as the anti-Navi). It excelled at what it set out to do, despite the obvious aesthetic failures inherent to the game. I found the ending to be deeply nightmarish.

:-/ I think about Zelda too much.

My favorite speech with Kaepora Gaebora is when you're on your way to Lake Hylia and he stops you to tell you what a lake is.

I liked the shop toucan with the afro and the chicken alien thing with breasts. Also the crazy bug girl.
It's a lot easier to talk about the things I liked about that game, because there were so many more things I thought sucked.

They need to stop listening to Zelda fans - they are too fat and stupid to realise it's this stuff that makes these games good and not the boilerplate fantasy crap that permeates everything else about it. Hiring some designers who aren't totally jaded might help too.

Well, at least they seem to be obsessing over the human-looking Midna and not the baby elf thing with the helmet. Still, goddamn.

I'll forgive Nintendo for Twilight Princess if the next game has Tingle in it.

There's like 20 minutes of gameplay in Twilight Princess when I actually feel like I'm playing Zelda

NB these stars are for Twilight Princess

Tingle WAS in TP, he was the hookshot game guy. TP's universe's equivalent of Tingle, where he's still a mincing weirdo, just nominally more successful.

He's also got a descendant of some sort in Spirit Tracks, or possibly some sort of relative. A picture of Tingle is poking out of the dude's store's merchandise.
