10 Great Video Games That Didn't Get Good Until Halfway Through

10. The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess

When you think of Zelda games, you tend to think of grand adventures, perilous dungeons and larger-than-life bosses. What you don't usually think of, is spending hours completing monotonous daily tasks for every villager that crosses your path.

Yet, that's exactly how Twilight Princess begins.

The first several hours essentially serve as a glorified tutorial that will have most experienced Zelda players tearing their hair out. It's a painful dose of boredom, but it does serve a purpose as these opening moments help to establish a world that is about to be torn apart by cataclysmic events. Without such a slow opener, the unique narrative that unfolds in the latter parts of Twilight Princess would not pack the same emotional punch.
