I've been going through my mind, trying to figure out why it is that I feel like TP's story is not as good as that of several other games.
The main thing that stands out to me is that I didn't develop an appreciation or liking of Midna, while most people who liked the story of TP did so. I've come to believe that this is the difference between people who like the story, and people who didn't.
Don't get me wrong... there are other nice touches, like Colin's display of courage, Ilia nursing Prince Ralis back to health, and being saved from the archers by your friends near the end. But the majority of the story seems to unravel and come apart without Midna.
So, my question is this... in your opinion, is the story of Twilight Princess so good that it could easily stand up without Midna, or is an appreciation of Midna necessary to appreciate the story of TP?
I'm not talking about the gameplay, that's obviously very good. My question is more about the story.
