Modern Gaming: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (GameCube) Review · 4:32am Aug 10th, 2018
A new edition of Modern Gaming is up and this time I will review Zelda: Twilight Princess. Lately, I have watched Vinesauce with Vinny on YouTube and his play through with TP. He was playing the Remastered Edition for WiiU which only saw its textures, lightning and special effects get touched up in HD. I usually watch Vinesauce not only from Vinny but Joel as well because of their hilarious commentated. As he reached the Lakebed Temple and brought up some interesting points about the E3 2004 trailer, nostalgia started kicking in by then. I remember back in 2003 when The Wind Waker released and how so many gamers complained about it being "kiddy." Of course, if some of you don't remember this was a time when gaming was coming off Sony's monster the PS1. It was also an era when Xbox came out and along with the PS2 that had plenty of mature rated games. It was the boom period for mature rated titles which is why Nintendo was often slammed for having a "kiddy" image.
Due to not wanting to spend sixty dollars on another Remastered Edition this review will go over the GameCube version. I honestly didn't want to spend money on the same game that got purchased by me years ago especially when only its textures and lighting were only touched up in HD. In 2006, since the Wii got completely sold out, buying Twilight Princess on GameCube was my only option. What I truly looked forward to was another realistic Zelda title after not liking The Wind Waker. I'm ashamed to admit that I was one of those gamers who hated TWW for being lighthearted during its release. So, of course jumping on the bandwagon by this train of thought was really easy. Twilight Princess despite its faults did go on to sell over seven million copies on GameCube and Wii combined.
