The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was a fantastic game, filled with epic battles, an enormous world, and a…horribly flawed storyline. Each week we’ll be looking at one of these flaws to determine what went wrong and why, as well as to discuss ideas of how the tale could have been rewritten to fix these problems and strengthen the story as a whole. …Preferably without drastically departing from the original storyline of the game, but I make no promises.
In the second half of the game, we meet a specific group of characters who each help Link locate the ancient dungeons that house the Mirror of Twilight Fragments. Referred to in
Hyrule Historia as “The Resistance,” Auru, Ashei, Rusl, and Shad are all a great help to the Hero, and if people complain about them, it’s usually just because we didn’t see them more.
But although they’ve escaped the heavy criticism that our previous subjects have each been hounded by, that doesn’t mean that the developers finally got everything right. Even the story arc of the Resistance has a problem that I think needs some fixing up. Let’s see to that, shall we?
