Okay, d00ds, this was originally posted in "Related Works", but it went off-topic so quickly that we're just gonna put the whole thing in "Off-Topic". Savvy? --Reichu


When you are fighting a Poe in wolf form, after you defeat it, its soul appears in its chest as a ball that you rip out with your mouth. The soul being represented as a ball, and it being in the chest in similar position to the cores, reminded me of Eva. Especially because it's ripped out Shogouki vs. Armisael-style.

So... coincidence or homage?

I think it's just coincidence.

But what a fucking awesome game. Miyamoto does it again. P.S. Midna is hot.

God Damn am I the only one who hasen't played the new Zelda yet?

I mean geez, my name is freaking TRILINK and I haven't even played the lastest and greatest Miyamoto adventure game yet. What kind of fan am I?

Do you have a Wii yet? I only happen to have one because some friends wanted to camp out for one and needed a ride, so I drove them there and slept in the car, but Target happened to have one left so I lucked out.

Also, NAveryW, don't you mean Zeruel?

Nope. And believe me I've tried. :x :x :x :x :x

They have it on Gamecube. It's not as awesome what with the Stone Aged controls, but I hear it's pretty damn near the same thing.

Oh, and coincidence. Extracting the soul as a ball has been and is bound to be repeated because it's just so gosh darned convenient.

A friend brought the GC version over back before we had a Wii, the only difference I noticed was everything is mirrored. It's 100x better with the Wii controls. Beat it in a little over a week, 20 hearts and largest wallet, bomb bags and quiver, but my left arm was seriously aching from doing shield attacks. I never bothered with the Poe's except for the first 20 (to get heart piece) because the reward was stupid, the only thing useful in getting 200 rupee is very limited invulnerability with the magic armor.

I was wondering when someone else was going to note this little fact. Just because it's a new way of playing and it works well doesn't mean that it's better then the original.

Well, controls like the Wii's would make the game more of an experience, wouldn't it?

Also, i'm on the final dungeon. Incredible game; TP easily has the best art direction and dungeon design in the entire series.

Definitely. It's still an incredible game and would be just as fun without them, but it's all the little things. Aiming was a lot easier by pointing to what you wanted to shoot at vs coaxing an analog stick. Even though the fighting is really simple, I felt more into it moving the remote around as opposed to hitting an A button. Plus, that Roll Goal game was pretty cool.

This is apparently because Link is left-handed, and the majority of the people who will be waving that Wii remote around are not.

But I am! >=( The mirroring annoys me because it completely changes the geography of Hyrule. It's stayed at least SOMEWHAT consistent throughout the game, and now it's completely the opposite of what it usually is. (Kakariko, Death Mountain in the west instead of east)

Twilight Princess is certainly an excellent game but it was pretty easy and the second half of the game was lacking in plot.

Also I've heard the Wii version can be unresponsive with the whole "twitch your hand to kill stuff", but I've only played the GC version so I wouldn't know.

Also, i'm on the final dungeon. Incredible game; TP easily has the best art direction and dungeon design in the entire series.

I disagree, Majora's Mask's artistic direction is better than TP's, despite having aged n64 graphics.

I'm holding out for the Wii version. Not just for the reasons you guys listed, but also because I want the 16-9 Version for my HDTV, which is exclusive to the Wii.
