Why
Formed in 2003, The New Gamer was established to provide a different critical perspective on videogames. We scrutinize the whole game, what it has to say, how the separate elements effect the player, and what each game brings to the burgeoning field of interactive entertainment. Simply put, we like to write about games.

Sadly, I took that screenshot from a YouTube video. That's as large a copy as I was able to find :?
I'd use the words 'padded' instead of fleshed out, but I agree, to some extent. I actually liked the initial setup of the villagers, it's just that the pay off wasn't there for me. Personally, I wouldn't have minded a narrowly focused tale simply about Midna,Zelda, the twilight and Hyrule Castle even if it had meant shaving off 10 or more hours from the game. I might have even preferred it!
I'm sure it did! The final battle wasn't really that tough for me on the Wii -- I never even died, it just went on for a while. Mostly because I found a tactic that worked and refused to deviate from it, even though it didn't really inflict all that much damage. I'm sure that if I were playing it on the Gamecube though, I probably would have experimented a bit more instead of the wild flailing I ended up winning the game with.
