So, I played TP again yesterday... for 5 1/2 hours. Along with last Thursday, I made progress again in the game for the first time since, my save file said, January 2007. :)
... so yeah, I actually managed to finish the second dungeon (Goron Mines), which is where I'd quit... I'm now about to enter the third one, the underwater temple.
So what do I think?
Really, it's the same question as with Phantom Hourglass and Oracles: How much should you count a really stupid story and bad characterizations against a game with amazing gameplay, design, graphics, music and art? While I'm playing, I quickly forget about those bad parts... just like with those other games. And the good parts are so, so good...
But still, the question of why even the best games games don't have stories and characterizations to match their great gameplay is a valid one, I think. Even if the gameplay certainly matters more.
