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.

(Played Master Collection version)
I kinda don't know how to process this. I went in knowing absolutely nothing outside of memes and finished with my head in my hands and wanting to lie down. Don't look up a goddamn thing at any point, ever, just play it. I cannot believe this game came out in 2001 and I cannot believe that 3 is arguably even better.
Gameplay is a vast improvement from the first game, too.

(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.
