    I actually thought the Ghirahim twist was cool. The fact that he was Demise's version of Fi was pretty good
  • I’d put Hestu’s gift higher, I mean, 900 korok seeds it’s a really challenging sidequest for just a sh*t
  • @lnsflare1
    Twilight Princess' opening isn't really supposed to build intrigue, it's supposed to get you into Link's daily life and build a bit of a rapport with the people he loves before ripping it all away from you.
  • @benthecat4345
    I say the biggest let down would be four swords being strictly multiplayer only
  • I actually liked twilight princess..everything about that game was amazing
  • Honestly I am surprised that the Magic Armor from Twilight Princess wasn't on here that thing is not worth the time in my opinion.
  • @milkinobama8160
    I wouldn’t say Demise was a last minute appearance. The game talked about him throughout the entirety of the run time and how bad it would be if he escaped.
  • @Arob4343
    Really don’t mind the villain swaps. Finding out Ghirahim was actually the evil Fi was cool. He was the evil sword’s inner person
  • @nillynush4899
    Zant is what I'd consider to be Good subversion, especially when you understand the game is Midna's (the Twilight Princess). Her journey and potential corruption from Power (which banished her ancestors to an alternate dimension) mirrors Zant losing himself completely. He is an utter fraud and a Slave to Power at the end of the day, along with Ganondorf. Midna however, sacrifices herself for Link, Zelda, and the Light world which she initially hated. She was selfless while Zant was selfish and that is reflected by Zant being tossed aside for the true Villain.
  • All of these disappointments were not really disappointments for most of us. The only one for me would be hetsu's tbh. Twilight princess and botw are my favorites. The only other disappointment for me is the timeline for the games. I mean the fact that it's not in order.
  • @caiscomics
    Awww I loved Twilights opening. It gives you a feel for what Links peaceful life was like before every went down
  • @andrewmartin917
    For the top pick instead of seeing it as a swap out, look at it as more of the villian sharing the role with the bigger bad guys
  • @nanania15
    To me, the biggest letdown is the fact that you can’t do anything after you finish the games. You go back to the start and the save file you we’re playing is still on you last save. It doesn’t even tell you that you finished the game.
  • @stulog
    Skyward Sword, when you finally get to go back in time for real (not counting Larynu time orb things - those were my favorite part of the game) at the temple of time, and then (spoiler alert), YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING WHEN YOU GET THERE! YOU CAN'T EVEN LEAVE THE TEMPLE AT ALL FOR NO APPARENT REASON
  • @narutosbelievin
    There was nothing underwhelming about WW’s Triforce quest at all
  • @kirbygamer9291
    I haven't complained about villain swap outs. As long as you get to beat the crap out of them, then who cares?
  • @delsinlockhart
    the one time i was very disappointed in a Zelda game was Breath of the Wild's Dark Beast Ganon, i was hoping Ganon would reveal his Ganondorf form after he was in beast form like in Twilight Princess but then i saw that the game just ends after you beat dark beast and... yea it just didnt feel like a challenge at all
  • @cas9272
    The city in the sky in Twilight Princess, i has expecting an alive city with people, but we got a common dungeon full of Ooccas ._.
