Daily Debate: Would You Like Heart Pieces Split Into Five Again?
Posted on September 01 2017 by Andy Spiteri
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess often gets accused of ‘copying’ its Nintendo 64 predecessor, Ocarina of Time. Why this is, I’m not exactly sure (don’t see any wolves running around Hyrule Field, but hey) but there’s definitely one piece of evidence to shove down the hater’s throats when you want to argue otherwise – Twilight Princess makes the players collect five pieces of heart instead of the traditional four.
This was good and bad in my opinion – good, because it gave us extra collectables to search for, and bad because, well, you needed five instead of four and truth be told, some of the heart piece quests were kind of drab. Assuming that the Zelda series will at some point go back to collecting heart pieces the traditional way, would you ever want to see the return of the extra piece to complete your heart container? Or is four enough? Let us know in the comments below!
