Does The Legend of Zelda Series Need Better Villains?
Over at Zelda Informer there's a terrific editorial that questions whether the threat level in the Zelda series is high enough. Here's an excerpt to give you an idea:
There is one real factor that makes a villain truly threatening. That factor is time. In all too many Zelda games, from The Legend of Zelda to Ocarina of Time to The Wind Waker, from Twilight Princess to Phantom Hourglass, villains lack this threat of time. Link can run around trying to be a hero for as long as he likes, and there is no threat of the land becoming any worse than it is. He has forever to overthrow the villain, because the villain does nothing but sit in their castle waiting to be overthrown. The villain does nothing to cause a real living threat. There is no timeframe for the hero to accomplish his task before it is too late.
