Nintendo’s fatal flaw(and I say that loosely since Nintendo is pretty secure) w Zelda was thinking after basically remaking the game twice (every new system) that fans wanted anything else except A. A remake again or B (and probably what most fans wanted, at least in my neck of the woods) a direct sequel to OoT and MM w the spaceworld 2000 tech demo’s graphics. Save all the crazy gimmicks and wacky/experimental changes for the gameboy line of games.

It's a weird cutscene but it's not subtle at all, the problem is it brings the whole "Oh yeah watch out link can become evil!" But you know that's bullshit it's not like the game has any sort of choice or bad ending for the cutscene and message to mean anything other than cheap edgy spectacle

The weird way the information is conveyed. It's basically a story about ancient sorcerers going after the Triforce but it's depicted as a scene in a black void. The sorcerers look like Link without eyes and then at some point for some reason his love interest from the farm floats up past the screen upside-down while Link gets a creepy rape smile on his face. Just really bizarre imagery for a Zelda game.

It barely fleshes anything out, really. There was a race, they did a bad thing with an artifact and were sealed away. Nobody you meet in the game was responsible for this act and you're dealing with decedent generations where TWO of them are having a tiff over mentioned artifact.
>main character, Midna
undermined how she permanently shatters the portal to the twilight realm at the end of the game. She could be the most developed character in fiction, but the whole story may as well have not happened in-universe. There's no consequences or repercussions, or token follow-up. You never see her again.
>Because you can't sit still and think for a minute.
the cutscene's portrayal of the events is a waste of time. The Fused Shadow's backstory is hardly any different from the Triforce or Majora's Mask and we get enough expository cutscenes throughout the franchise about why bad people having power is a bad thing. The blank-eye Link and upside-down Ilias are the only things that people remember about the scene.

I’d agree w u if I ever play TP. What you would call soulless because from the jump TP was something that felt forced after WW, that’s why, despite the graphical change, never felt like touching it because it was clearly made out desperation/maybe even some resentment even tho Americans are what kept the lights on during the snes and especially the 64 era where Japan rejected (maybe some hyperbole) it compared to the US.

The real fatal flaw was not ripping off Morrowind for WW and TP. The secret sauce to Zelda is just finding some groundbreaking game that is too dense for normalfags, stealing its gameplay, and making it polished enough that normalfags will play it. You then get 100% of the credit for innovating a genre you stole.

I thought it was cool but I didn't really get it. But I was a kid when I played that part for the first time. The meaning of it is pretty obvious as an adult: the power of the Fused Shadow corrupts people (seen with Yeta in the game) and the light spirit is warning Link that even he can be corrupted by it--or just by temptation in general. The rain of giggling Ilias is metaphor for temptation via lust, which is why it cuts to Link doing an evil smile afterwards.

Sorry, I confused that with the Mirror of Twilight. But it's still the same principle in that an artifact related to the twilight is corrupting people. I think there were some thematic elements they intended with the story that maybe weren't conveyed as well as they could've been, either because of localization (I know the game has weird localization hiccups like Auru being Zelda's tutor being left out of the English version) or not getting the time they wanted to expand on certain things.

While also humanizing Midna and twili, who might not be "the evil race" completely unlike the good folks of hyrule.
And maybe the solution isn't to hand over the dark power to a good person, and that it's best wielded by someone who understands the lure of corruption.

Maybe this needed some anime sidekick character to say it aloud, because people saw the scene and thought "DARK LINK IS A BOSS IN THIS GAME?" lol
