Yeah, most of the Zeldas did start of pretty slow. ALTTP on the other hand started off pretty good, jumps right into the action.Regarding Legend of Zelda titles, is it ...
I never thought that OOT started off slow at all. I'll agree with TP though. The first 2 or so hours are all busy work with some tutorials thrown in. TP is at the top of my list for games that don't need a 2 hour tutorial.
OoT starts off pretty quickly compared to TP... at least 1-2 hours of fishing and goat herding.

Hmm just thinking about it makes me want to go and play it through it again :D

The beginning few hours are slow, but eventually when the action picks up, it gets to a nice pace.
zelda franchise is one of the best i have only beaten 1 though tp and i am olmost done with the ledgend of zelda 2 and oot i am in the forest temple and the same thigs like he is saying ticks me off to
I loved TP's start because it took time to let you see a lot of your home and life, but the charm is only there the first time you play it, so if you start it over it can seem a little slow. To me it is the only one that has a slow start, MM has a long start, but I found it really fun.

In most games this is usually overlooked, made quick reference to, or wrapped up quickly in an early cinematic, I enjoyed taking control of his normal life. But like the above post states, it only works once or twice. That why I have a slot saved right at the beginning of the actual adventure to be played whenever I feel like jumping straight into the action.

And, on topic, I agree that TP's beginning is slow and I also think that WW can be a little slow, especially the intro movie its like ten minutes long and you can't skip it! When I started the Second Quest I left the freaking room while it was playing.Edit: And I forgot to mention that even though I agree that TP's beginning was slow, I enjoyed it aswell.

I'm always too distracted by the magic of Hyrule to think that the games start off slow. It sort of makes sense to, though, since the peace is getting destroyed by the forces of darkness and whatnot.
For me TP started off way slow... i put the game down for like 2 weeks because of the begining of the game... i just lost interest actually... i played for about 1 hour maybe 2 then was like screw this im playing a different game lol.... but TP is the better game OOT was revolutionary for its time... both games in my top 10 prolly all time games
TP does start slow, but the other ones, not so much.
[QUOTE=''link_1000''][QUOTE=''wookieeassassin''] Ok, I played Twilight Princess a few months ago and finished it. I just recently (about 1.5-2 weeks ago) started Ocarina of Time againand beat it very early this morning.With Ocarina of Time I started off thinking the game was a little bit slow. I finished the Deku Tree temple and then I got lost in Hyrule field. I could not find the castle anywhere. I kept winding up at the entrance to the Gerudo valley. I finally found the castle but it took me forever to figure out that the vine on the wall was actually something I could climb on; it looked just like part of the scenery with the N64 graphics and all! Then I didn't know where to go after that and finally I found out from the fairy to go back to the Lost Woods to talk to Saria. I kept getting lost in the Lost Woods and couldn't find my way through and got really frustrated and quit. Like I said, I just started the game over about 2 weeks ago and have just finished it.I reall liked the game but there were some parts that got me so irritated; I felt like an idiot for not being able to figure them out. SPOILERS: These parts made me so mad:part where you had to bomb the little Goron to be able to enter the fire temple. The part where you had to use the song of storms to get the windmill going so you could get the Lens of Truth. The part at the beginning of the spirit temple when you had to use a bombchu to lower a bridge. The part where you had to use fire to burn the spikes in the room where the boss key was for the Shadow Temple. I couldn't figure them out for a few hours and got really ticked off. I guess I didn't pick up on a lot of hints in the game or made the connections between things I should have. My lack of patience for those parts is kind of strange though as I had no frustration with the Water Temple even though it took me longer than the others to complete. With Twilight Princess I thought the first hour or two was kind of slow and then it started to get fun after that. Maybe it was because you had to go through the sewer as a wolf and do some of that other stuff, but it felt slow.Is it just me or is the very beginning of the Legend of Zelda games slow? I have a feeling that I am just too impatient for some reason want to start a boss battle for start fighting something immediately which would be silly. A large part of the Legend of Zelda games aren't fighting also, they are figuring out puzzles. Maybe I am just not being open to the game when I start it, I remember that my friend let me play a little bit of the first Metroid Prime and I said that I hated it only to 2-3 years later starting it again (not remembering anything) and enjoying pretty much every minute of it. [/QUOTE]Wow, sorry, but honestly you suck if you can't figure out what to do at those parts of Ocarina. And besides, trying to figure it out (like bombing the Goron) is actually FUN and challenging, unlike Twilight which is ridiculously easy and spoonfeeds you EVERYTHING and tells you where to go ALWAYS. All your doing is ranting at the greatest parts of OoT; where you have to THINK to progress. I'm sorry many of you wii noobs don't like to think and continue to praise your Twilight Princess as ''The best zelda game ever'' and ''Sooooo much better than Ocarina of Time'' Which is just BS. And FYI, TP is WAY slower, you have to go through the WHOLE forest section, then the wolf section, then the forest temple, and the hyrule field on foot, and the kakariko nonsense to JUST get to the second temple and get the horse back. That's like 5-10 hours rights there; in 5-10 in OoT you're probably already an adult.And yes, your impatient. Zelda games don't start off very slow (sure there are easy parts in the beginning designed as tutorials; but that's hardly able to be classified as slow. And yes, Zelda games are pimrarily puzzles.....and yeah, as you get older you are able to figure out the puzzles easier and appreciate the games much more. [/QUOTE] If I don't take my time I can get past the fire temple in about ten hours, but that is mainly because OoT is much shorter than TP. And I may be wrong (its late here and I'm tired) but I think you contradicted yourself by agreeing that TP had a very slow beginning and then saying that he is impatient and ''Zelda games don't start off very slow''. And don't insult him, thats just being an idiot, I couldn't figure out that part in the Shadow Temple where you have to burn those wooden spikes on my first playthrough either, my cousin had to help me because I forgot that the great fairy told you that Din's Fire can burn through wood.
All the Zelda games start slow. It's just cuz I've played so many and want to get past the ''this is how you play'' dungeons.
Link1000 you need to calm down. Are there some personal issues that are causing your absurd anger or something? After playing up to right before the Spiritual stone of fire in Ocarina of Time I noticed that the game does pick up pretty quickly but I just didn't pay attention to the villagers or anyone at all and got lost and frustrated. I didn't really pay attention to what the owl said on how to get to the castle, didn't pay attention to Impa on where to go next (Kakariko village), didn't remember that the rolling Goron as a child could be stopped by a bomb and didn't make the connection that way, didn't make the connection with a bunch of villagers talking about a windmill and the well, the thing about Din's fire. I just needed to pay attention more and remember to try all my items before getting irritated (Din's fire was like the only thing I didn't use in the shadow temple and of course, that was what it was). I probably assumed I could just figure it all out pretty easily on my own and didn't need to listen to the ''childish hints''; I was wrong, haha.Yeah Twilight Princess started off slow, but I went back and played it through and it wasn't that bad until it got to the wolf part. The first wolf part was boring, boring, boring though. I think I just lacked patience with Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time at the beginning and didn't give them a chance really. With the puzzles like the windmill stuff I guess I am just not used to playing games that require you to think analytically. Knowing that you have to think in that mindset and pick up on information anywhere you can get it is really helpful to know for Zelda games; if you are just looking for a door to open for you and something to happen everytime you play Zelda's lullaby it will be very difficult.The thing is with many of the puzzles is that if they take longer than 30-60 minutes to figure out they can get pretty irritating. If a puzzle is genuinely hard enough to require that much thinking and trying things (not just forgetting to use an item or forgetting a tip someone gave you about something) then it is too difficult. Puzzles are the best when they are difficult enough to require enough thinking and effort to wear you down but easy enough that when right before you would get irritated and want to stop you finally figure it out and get a great sense of accomplishment.By the way, the only Wii games aside from mini-games I own are SMG, Corruption and Twilight Princess. Twilight Princess was not as good as Ocarina of Time so I don't know where you pulled that from. You should also not assume that I am a five year old and tell me that when I am older I won't be such an idiot; I am 19 by the way.
I don't think they're slow at all, nor do they start out slow. If you're looking for a game where you hit the ground running, you might not be playing the right seres, I'll admit, but the pace at the beginning is usually a great way to ease you into the game. I didn't think the game took too long for things to get going, even if the pace does quicken after the first bit.
And as for your OoT comments, I think you're not that great at games if you had trouble at those parts :P
lol, nah I'm kidding, but I honestly never found those parts hard... And Zelda games are nothing compared to some titles where you can honestly walk around forever without getting the tiniest hint as to what to do next. They're also far from too difficult, even at the hardest parts.
yeah I was just not used to thinking in that mindset at all. I really did not pay attention to what anybody told me hint-wise for the most part.

NO WAI!?(if u didnt play it its a 4 hour tutorial where u basically listen to unskippable dialouge for most of it :P )
