In the long time Legend of Zelda players waited for Twilight Princess, we were shown demos of the game including riding Epona through a dead forest, fighting off endless mobs of goblins. Running through mines away from giant spiders, and fighting dark grayish things in the forest.
Naturally we were all astounded by the graphics and swordplay of the game and even bought a Wii merely for the new game. But finally the game came out and at the beginning still astounded, but when we had finished the game, (only 5 days later) we were disappointed. The game was good but it didn't have the sense that other Zelda games had. Were the other games would have found a way to keep going, Twilight Princess merely stopped (so did Majora's Mask but you had limited time so they couldn't put too much in).
In conclusion I personally would rather have had the low graphics, and long story of Ocarina Of Time than the high graphics and short story of Twilight Princess.
