I know that many people said that you can finish this game in around 50 hours. Perhaps if you’re busting ass and are reading somebody’s guide. I would say I’m around 2/3 of the way done. By reading where I’m at in the game I’ll guess that it will take me around 70 hours of my life which I will never get back. That’s alright though. This is by far the best Zelda game I’ve played, and I look forward to future offerings.
The palaces in the game are very difficult and tricky to figure out at times, but obviously very rewarding. There are so many side quests in the game, and just when you thought that you had scoured an area for every item possible, well now you get to try it from the Wolf’s perspective, or now you get to bomb those rocks and see what new path it leads to. Hell, how about fishing, collecting souls, collecting golden bugs for a creepy girl, herding goats, or grabbing a chicken and floating with it? My personal favorite is stiffing this bird named Trill, who sells potion and lantern oil. He asks you to drop the rupees in a bucket, but I only give him 2 or 3. He gripes at me all the time calling me cheap. I sometimes drink the potion on full health just to fill up and stiff him again.
At any rate, this should probably be the first game that you buy for the wii in my opinion. I love the fact that I can pick it up and play an hour here or there, and sometimes it captivates me enough to play it for 4 or more hours at a time. So far I’ve got nothing negative to say about the Wii in the past 2 months. It’s been my system of choice lately, and I don’t see that changing until Halo 3 (if it’s as good as the first 2). Next up, Resident Evil 4: wii edition.
I still have to find a Wii. Seven months after its release, and they’re still hard to find.
By the way, I highly recommend Resident Evil 4. I have it on Gamecube and it truly does a great job of reinventing the series. It’s very action oriented and the gameplay has improved significantly.
Awesome, glad to hear you’re enjoying Twilight Princess. I especially liked fighting all the bosses… those were some pretty epic battles.
You’ll love Resident Evil 4 if you haven’t already played it on Gamecube… and for only 30 bucks, it’s practically a steal for first-time players.
