Twilight Princess carried the torch of previous Zelda titles to the extreme. It was very much the game that fans always wanted, but that would prove both its greatest strength and its biggest detriment. It largely played it safe in the formula that previous games set up, and that contrasts greatly with how the Zelda series tends to push the limitations of what is possible in game design for their time. That's why Twilight Princess' predecessor, Wind Waker, a game that wasn't afraid to push boundaries, experiment and bring the Zelda series to places it had never gone before, has gone on to be seen as a timeless masterpiece.
