"Tell me… Do you ever feel a strange sadness as dusk falls? They say it’s the only time when our world intersects with theirs… The only time we can feel the lingering regrets of spirits who have left our world. That is why loneliness always pervades the hour of twilight…" -Rusl, the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

As a teen I loved the ambience of Twilight Princess and as an adult I understand the strangely cathartic melancholy a lot better. This quote was the perfect thesis statement for the game and it stuck with me.
