TP's presentation feels grand, cinematic, and mature. The Twilight Realm evokes a feeling of being eerily beautiful but also can be other worldly, uncomfortable and even sinister. One of my favourite Hyrule interpretations. Midna is one of the best video game partner characters ever. Initially snarky, condescending and uncaring, she turns more empathetic, kind and understanding whilst continuing to be interesting, keeping her wit and not losing her power nor becoming an annoying burden. It eventually turns into one of Link's most personal and intimate relationships. Zant is engaging, intriguing and insidious as a villain. On the other hand, Ganondorf feels imposing and powerful with an awe-inspiring finale. Although linear for the most part, the dungeons play to its linearity and is atmospheric to boot. Currently my favourite Zelda game so far.
