hi I'm Tim

0.5 (1/10): avoid at all costs
1/5 (2/10): bad
1.5/5 (3/10): worth a playthrough for very specific reasons or circumstances but never beyond that
2/5 (4/10): I've played worse, but didn't enjoy nonetheless
2.5/5 (5/10): definition of mid. not bad, but not good enough either
3/5 (6/10): enough good stuff that's worth mentioning, but would still rather play better games
3.5/5 (7/10): now we're getting somewhere, definitely good games that I might give another shot
4/5 (8/10): great games, super solid all around
4.5 (9/10): just barely enough flaws to keep it from the cream of the crop but still fantastic games I'll probably never forget
5/5 (10/10): whether it be gameplay, story, or anything else in between, these games make me happy to be alive.

(Replay) The fact that I reeeally feel like I missed a lot in this story and I still definitely think it's better than OoT and WW says a lot. A beautifully written, thematically complex story. Light and shadow, the corruptive and tempting nature of power, lingering regrets. Hyrule, despite being the world of light, is a fading shadow of its former self that has not moved on from the past like it has in WW. Ganondorf parallels himself across alternate timelines, Midna's arc is wonderfully fitting, Zant is just all around great. The Hero of Time wanders the earth, only one regret left that he wishes to ease before finally moving on. Zelda dungeons have never had more of a focus on lore and in-universe purpose, and the game has an insane amount of beautiful shots and cinematography. TP, in all of its thematic explorations, is the culmination of the Zelda series, and especially the Hero of Time saga (OoT, MM, WW, TP). I know that every replay after this I will find even more to analyze.

(Replay) While this is far from the most complex Zelda (it's pretty much completely linear aside from like, two dungeons), it's an absolute blast. Normally this kind of linearity would bore me in Zelda but I don't know, this game is just so much fun. One of the best looking and best sounding games on the console, too. Link's Awakening is a better designed game but the pure fun factor in this one is just wonderful.

Have been excited to play this game for years. I felt a little bit disappointed in the first couple hours but it quickly picked up and by the end I was absolutely on board, sign me up for MGS2 immediately. The last couple hours/final boss in particular are an easy 10/10 and definitely improve the earlier parts with the knowledge of the story they add.
The presentation is absurd for the time, with the best voice acting of the era and fantastic cutscene direction, and the way the gameplay integrates into the story is genuinely unlike anything else.
Speaking of that gameplay, it's................ not good, but I've played worse for sure. Only really frustrated me in one section, and overall, it's intentionally a little primitive. Not a huge detractor at all.
