Twilight Princess is overrated as hell. People got mega hyped up to play "realistic" looking Zelda, but ironically its gritty mid-2000's graphics really date it, and in the end its general structure is one of the most blatant Ocarina knockoffs of the 3D Zelda era.

tp is fucking weird in terms of being overrated because it was super big when it came out, but not long after people started to accept how mediocre it was while reevaluating Wind Waker. Over the past few years people are starting to try and swap that again and push TP as an unfairly maligned gem.

It absolutely was a case of people bitching about wanting more OoT and then the monkeys paw curling. It's ugly, there's very little to do in it, it's got a bunch of items that are next to useless outside of the dungeon where you find them, and by far the dirt worst first quarter of any zelda game ever. The best thing I can say about it is that it probably has the best character narrative of any Zelda game in the form of Midna, but that's not enough to right the ship
