“Get off my back, naked martian jerk!” –Susan
In The Legend of Zelda series, our hero Link (or some descendant or variation of him) has saved Hyrule at least ten times. Every one of those times was more fun than this one. Twilight Princess is still my favorite game of the year, and as a standalone would be stellar; but taken against the backdrop of the previous ten versions, I have to say I’m a little disappointed. The best feature is that it’s on the Wii system. I thoroughly enjoy using the new controller, there’s nothing better. But the console should not be the game’s best feature.
Previous Zeldas have left me pulling my hair out trying to figure out their hidden agendas and trying to meet all their crazy demands. Twilight Princess does too much hand holding, maybe to try to ease my frustrations, but my new frustration is the stupid naked martian on my back! She’s so annoying. The old frustration was different, it was a challenge that kept me coming back to the series time and time again.
A higher power provides you with a series of uppers and downers to help you control your liquids problem. Occasionally it throws in a fireball or an atom bomb. The fireballs help you win at BINGO. Also, dinosaurs will come and hang out if you create lakes deep enough for them to swim around in. But watch out! Four malicious flying super demons are out to get you! Don’t count on the higher power to help you out, it doesn’t take sides between good and evil, so your enemies are free to spit things at you in passing which mess up the landscape and lead to terrible earthquakes. If you can’t control your liquids, your friend who fell in the drain will drown! But don’t lose hope, there’s a rainbow above you.
