Topic: Zelda: Twilight Princess - Easy or Hard?

I was reading the comments on the review of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Wii. I found some posts that says the game's too easy, and probably some or few that says it's hard.

I did not see the ending of the game yet. So why is it bad?

EDIT: Why not make your own "Easy or Hard" game thread? Or maybe just me?

@The_Main_Post Not really. It's only hard with some of the puzzles and a handful of bosses.

As for the other question, I don't know. Maybe because it's boring?

It`s definitely the easiest of all the zelda games IMO. The only temple I had trouble with was Snowpeak temple. But if someone who has never played a zelda game before and asked my opinion, I`d give them TP.

Its easy if you just want to play from start to finish. Its hard when you try collecting everything in the game.

On the ending, I agree it was a bit lackluster, it was a meh ending. You should play it to the end and think of it yourself however.

I don't think the ending is bad, just like I don't think TP is easy, when you look at it as an isolated game.

The problem is that Zelda veterans had already played through OOT, MM, ALttP, Link's Awakening (IMO the Hardest) , or WW, so when you compare the difficulty to TP, it's no match. Between all those games, you get an idea of what to expect from a Zelda title, and condition your brain to Zelda puzzles, so it's hard for you to really get stuck somewhere. As a veteran, you usually onyl get stuck when you overlook something silly. But if TP was your first game, you'd say the difficulty was normal. Not hard or easy, just moving right along as you play.

So, it's a matter of familiarity with the series, not just the game. The first time I played over OoT again after a long time, when I got to the Water Temple (often considered one of the hardest temples) it wasn't so bad. Even thought I didn't remember anything about it. Simply because by then the "Zelda Formula" was already familiar in my head. Same thing for my girl, after she played WW and PH before she played OOT the first time. She didn't get stuck at the Water Temple nearly as bad as I (and everyone I knew at the time) did.

Same thing with the ending. The ending itself isn't bad, but is a bit "formulaic" if you played the other games. So, for a Zelda veteran it's not really going to strike a cord.

Not too hard, but not too easy. In between.

WAY too easy.

The dungeons were pretty easy but also very fun. There was allot more combat in the game however, more than any other 3D Zelda.

in the middle i think!!

I thought the Bosses were too easy. Everything else was well balanced.

When Zelda came in 3D all bosses were easy.
Wait, I almost forgot the third form of the puppet before Ganon in Wind Waker.
Almost all 3D Zelda bosses are easy.

Puzzles side, they are Zelda style. If you played every zelda before (like many of us) they are not a challenge.

We want something new in the next zelda!

I got this game for christmas and i'm only just got to lake hylia as the wolf and so far the hardest thing in this game was the first dungeon. Goron mines is actually kind of fun as well as the boss. Any way, its pretty easy at to where i am in the game.

I haven't gone much past the first dungeon, but I own it now so I'll get to it soon.

I assume it's super easy since everyone says it is, and Zelda has been easy since ALttP came out. (IIRC the GBC games, had some challenge at times)

It was about medium difficulty for me

I do think that ALttP is harder than any of the 3D one But is the easiest of the 2D ones? LA, OoA/OoS, MC are the same difficulty for me as ALttP.

@Digiki: Majora's Mask is not easy, and neither is OoT: Master Quest

Hmm... Majora's Mask is easy, the hardest part is defending cows from aliens, and the difficulty in that is running out of arrows and failing to gather more in a timely manner.

I guess Master Quest might have some difficulty, but I wouldn't know since it's just OoT modified for the worse, so I've no plans to play it.

I don't recall OoS too well, but I can recall being in danger a decent amount, which is more than can be said for others (although I guess with ideal rings that danger can be removed too)

Yeah, most of the difficulty was in the side quests, including that bleh one with Kafei and Anju.

Seasons wasn't as bad as Ages.

I thought MM was hard but only because of some of the sidequests and that awful time limit (bu you could slow it down).
