Hey guys, Twilight Princess is now available in HD on the Wii U! Isn't that just best? Ok so maybe not for everyone. After all, it seems that a lot of people actually don't like Twilight Princess all that much. In fact, the game is regularly cited as possibly the very worst of The Legend of Zelda franchise. Its critics are quick to point to slow pace, easy difficulty, generic look and uninspired wolf transformation system as plenty reason to call it the lowest point of perhaps the most highly-regarded series in all of gaming. Whilst there are plenty of valid complaints to be tossed about, the truth of the matter is that none of them can diminish the brilliance of Twilight Princess when it is at its very best. Twilight Princess may not have the unique visuals of Wind Waker, a compelling core gimmick like Majora's Mask or the all-time classic standing of Ocarina of Time, but what it does have are a particular set of skills and qualities that when combined, form what is perhaps the very best Legend of Zelda game ever made.
10. An Amazing Villain (That Isn't Ganon)
NintendoOk, ok, so Ganon is still in The Twilight Princess and is still the final boss in the game. But the villain spotlight is stolen by the sorcerer, Zant. With his neon-lined sweeping robes and haunting bird-like mask, Zant immediately gives off a Darth Vader vibe of evil and terror the moment that he steps onto the scene. He often speaks in riddles, though his intention to usurp the throne of the kingdom by any means necessary is never in doubt as his methods constantly threaten the player. Anytime that Zant is on screen, he commands the room and the desire to see what he will do next is more than enough motivation to see the game through to the end. If ever the Zelda series could have gotten away with giving Ganon the day off, this would have been the time.
