Thumbs down Twilight Princess? C'mon now!

I think that I speak for many when I say, that is the dumbest name i've ever heard! is'nt the game supposed to be more MATURE and DARK then the other ones, that may prove to be difficult with a name such as that!

Re: Twilight Princess? C'mon now!

Dude, Twilight Princess is a dark name. And anyways I don't think you speak for anyone when you say the name sucks. So far I think everyone has liked it or just lived with it.

Re: Twilight Princess? C'mon now!

I was quite shocked when i first heard the name was Twilight Princess, but then i got used to the name and i think it goes very well with the game coming out.

Re: Twilight Princess? C'mon now!

Okay, since you are a new member you are unaware of the fact that this topic has been disscussed a lot in the past. This is old news. Everyone has accepted it. It's not that bad.

Re: Twilight Princess? C'mon now!

When I first heard the name, I didn't like it at all. But then the name kinda grew on me and when I learned more about the game, I happily accepted the name Twilight Princess.

Re: Twilight Princess? C'mon now!

Nah, I don't think its all THAT bad. Though I admit it could've
been better, but hey, it's Zelda we're talking about here, the
name doesn't really matter. As long as it plays well thats all that really matters.
Its looking like to be an awesome game, and the name certainly
doesn't put me off buying it.

Re: Twilight Princess? C'mon now!

Looks like you have no understanding what-so-ever. If you did some research on the name... You would find its the perfect name.

And if you didn't know already... There is a Twilight Realm... So you can't name the game without the main cause of the game being in the name

I liked the name ever since I heard it.

Re: Twilight Princess? C'mon now!

I kinda like the name. Though when I was told about it just being called legend of zelda I figured that it was a remake of the first one

Re: Twilight Princess? C'mon now!

the legend of zelda is the placename for all the games in the zelda series until an official name is released.

But I never had a problem with the name, none of the names of any of the games stand out as good names so it was no different.

Re: Twilight Princess? C'mon now!

Princess of the Twilight Realm. Simple.

Who cares about dark or mature? It's the quality that counts.

BTW, WW was very mature, thematically.

Re: Twilight Princess? C'mon now!

Originally, I thought it was a joke, and thought Twilight Princess was a horribly 'predictable' name, but now it has grown on me!
I would have prefered another, yet similar name, that would have souned moremysterious, like Twilight's Maiden, but I'm fine with Twilight Princess now!

Re: Twilight Princess? C'mon now!

It's perfect for the game. The shadow arera of Hyrule is called Twilight and... don't want to spoil anything.

Re: Twilight Princess? C'mon now!

From the very first minute that I heard the name of the latest Zelda game was going to be Twilight Princess, a shiver ran up my spin. It is a darker name than any of the other previous titles. If taken out of the context, it can come across as "girlie" and "wimpy." A title should define the game, though, and Twilight Princess does a perfect job.

You'll live.

Maybe you don't even know what it means, but I'm here to help:

Re: Twilight Princess? C'mon now!

Twighlight Princess is a great name. It's between light and dark which is more powerful than either light or dark since you get the best of both worlds. It also suggests going from innocence to maturity.
And the Princess thing.......Princesses can be evil.

Re: Twilight Princess? C'mon now!

I could not care less what the name is, but Twilight princess is a good name for it, as it is a darker name and the game is a much darker Zelda. Oh and and next time when there is something to do with future Zelda games, try putting this in Future Zelda

Re: Twilight Princess? C'mon now!

What's in a name? Even if the name sucks the game could still be awesome, and completely appropriate for the title.
