Day 669 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Today’s game is Twilight Princess. I got as far as Zora’s Domain, today. Before unthawing it thought i stopped and got a picture of Link on the throne. Unhelpful? yes. Fun? Also yes.

Speaking of Zora’s domain, the puzzle on this was an absolute headache to figure out. I didn’t know i had to go grab that rock and drop it on the ice. Anyways, once i figured that out it was a little smoother sailing.

Something i noticed around this time was that Midna doesn’t have a reflection in the Ice. I don’t know if this is just an oversight or intentional but i thought it was interesting none the less.

Tracking down the light things though proved to be another challenge. I didn’t realize i had to fly back through on that flying thing again to get them. I also ended up having to look that one up.

The escort mission that follows shortly after was fun, albeit a bit too long. It reminds me of Spirit Tracks and how you can control Zelda, i think it’s mostly because you can see a path on the map though.

Finally i wanted to end off on a rather mundane note, that being the world. I love how it’s scale looks. It reminds me of those extreme minecraft worlds, but i loathe traversing it. It feels so segmented and massive. And there’s a few places that seem samey. It’s definitely my major functional gripe so far, but it could also very well be a personal one.

Back to main discussion

Are you playing this on original hardware, and how do you feel about the unofficial ‘Dusk’ port recently?

I’m playing the Dusk port. I have it set to the original graphics options, but I figured for ease of access I’d stick to Dusk. I almost played it on original hardware though

Awesome! I’m guessing you might prefer a more authentic experience then?

I would be checking out all the texture packs and fiddling with the QOL improvements/settings as well. I never got very far in Twilight Princess (I never had it originally), but wouldn’t mind giving it another go when I get a good setup going again.
