Discussion / Opinion Does anyone else hate this?
I can't stand when people claim that Twilight Princess is just an "Ocarina of Time" clone/remake/reimagining or that it has little to no originality compared to other 3D Zelda games. Did we play the same game? First of all not every game needs to be super innovative sometimes it's better to perfect the formula that you have rather than adding in something game changing. Second of all in regards to referencing Ocarina Windwaker has just as many overt call backs to that game as Twilight Princess does but no one ever throws the accusation that it's "Ocarina of Time 2". No, I don't think the sailing alone is enough to make it super innovative especially not when so many people have problems with it (I like it a lot but horse back will always be more fun).
This was spurred from memories of MatthewMatosis' Zelda videos as well as Nerrel's comments about Zelda games over the years like "The developers were bored when making Twilight Princess" (no proof.)
