You cast some interesting points and capture what, essentially, is at the heart of the game. What I took away from it was just a bit different, however: What bothered me most in regards to LA was the exact tangibility of the characters; that is, the reality behind, say, Marin: was she a true...

In such a case, you likely haven't gone exploring... Twilight Princess' overworld is positively brimming with winding caves, hidden grottos, out-of-reach areas, and tons more... including, curiously enough, what I assume to be (read: probably isn't) an old bunker just south of Zora's Domain I...

...I'm not entirely sure you pried deep enough to come to anything with considerable substance in the first place; what exactly was the "watered down" theme in question?

I agree that the tradition of utilizing such a concept has become unnecessary in recent years. In the first few installments, the device was logical, even necessary, as the classic games told the classic hero-saves-princess tale. However, when Link's Awakening practically redefined Zelda's...

The bublins were likely sent ahead as scouts, to survey the area and make sure that there would be no resistance in taking the light of the region. After it was clear, King Bulblin summoned the shadow beasts (Or at least the portal) with his horn. As for taking the children and attacking the...

It's symbolic of, in my opinion, the nature of power: the weak, whom power corrupts, will crumble from beneath it, and the strong, who corrupt power, will fall from above it.

Well, alternate worlds can exist without acting as an immediate focus. You speak as though Hyrule is the center of the Zelda Series; while, in a sense, you're correct, Hyrule can seem just as foreign as any "alternate world" (take, for example, Skyward Sword, where your sense of familiarity is...

Simply, no. Well, in many aspects, yes; the rental-system, the wall-merging, among other things: all were executed brilliantly, and, in regard to those elements, the series has seen evolution through ALBW (Though, whether these inclusions truly evolved the series is questionable. After all, I...

I think that, naturally, Twilight Princess was very similar to Ocarina of Time, just as Super Metroid was very similar to the original Metroid. In other words, you can't possibly expect a central idea, especially one which acts as a core to a series, to be elaborated upon without such an...

-Still, you avoid my point. Even if you can't be convinced that Twilight Princess has well written arcs, you can't deny that the characters had the potential for excellent ones. If you sat down with a list of every single Zelda character and picked out the ones you could write a good arc for...

-Alright. Seeing as there apparently weren't any arcs in Twilight Princess, I suppose I'll just discount those of Colin (who learned the meaning of strength), the children of Ordon (who learned to cooperate in times of struggle), Ralis (who learned to both accept his responsibility and live past...

-One dimensional-- as in "lacking characteristics which make them feel believable or limit the presence of any potential arch." Name one character of importance that isn't struggling and doing all that they can while exhibiting emotions, whether they be exterior or interior. Furthermore...

And, certainly, many aspects of Twilight Princess are lacking-- boss difficulty, to name one-- but I'm, as I stated, referring to when people claim things to be lacking when they, in reality, just don't understand what they're talking about. For example: "All of the characters are...

Sorry; I meant to say "it does not suggest that you'd be content with either, therefore having no preference." And by "shady," I mean odd, or indirect.

Responding "both" stresses that your desire for the two aspects separately is particularly high; it does suggest that you'd be content with either, therefore having no preference.
