Wii or Gamecube TP?

Do you like the Gamecube TP or the Wii TP?

I like the Gamecube because it is a lot easier to control what you are doing.
But, while the Wii is more fun, it is easier with the Gamecube.

played the gamecube version and went to lake hylia...only to end up in kakariko village...stupid mirror thingie!

I prefer the Wii because you get to flail your arms like a madman to perform sword tecniques

I only have it for the Wii and played it for the Wii. But still I would prefer the Wii version over the gamecube. Moving the Wii remote as the sword, bow, clawshot, ball and chain, and the rest., is fun.

Agree with whomever above said that the GameCube controls are much easier to parse than the Wii's. Pulling off headshots are slightly more accurate on the Wii port of the game, and the fishing's practically custom-made for the nunchuck, but mastering items like the Gale Boomarang are damn near impossible on the Wii version, especially during sequences like the carriage escort-mission.

That, and -- quite simply -- I prefer the GCN build over the Wii version for one simple reason: Historical canonicity. The Gerudo Desert to the west of Lake Hylia, decaying Old Kakariko to the east, et cetera.

Map consistency (if one can even *use* that term with a straight face in context with a Zelda game anymore) is a big mitigating factor, here.

And I own a plasma-screen HDTV capable of 1080p resolution, but having seen the Wii port, I'm not that terribly impressed with the 16:9 progressive-scan enhancement...there's a very, very small, almost unnoticeable upboost conversion, but its imperceptible to all but the most anal home-theater-buff types.

Don't get me wrong, if it's a somewhat-different gameplay experience you're looking for, the Wii version serves it up, but the GCN version more than competes with it and holds its own on practically every single meaningful level. You're not missing out on much if you only buy the 'Cube build. And you're getting the more canonical version of the game, to boot.

The Wii version is the only one I have. But based on videos of the GC version, I still like the Wii version, because it is easier to aim(at least for those, who have never aimed with an analog stick(me)).

Gc because That's the one i have XD

The Game Cube Version is better for me, for me ,for me..... Is much more safely with the Cube controller and I love a lot that controller, the Wii version is much more fun but I prefer the Game Cube only for the controller (Game Cube controller rocks).

I like the Gamecube one because certain stuff with that controller is second nature to me so I can sit there half asleep and just press buttons instead of having to flail around.

yeah same. I completely memorize the layout of the controller. also, it requires no physical activity! so if its like 12 in the morning and your tired but you still wanna play, you don't have to throw your arm out. although the wii version is more fun, i suck with the wiimote, I beat cave of ordeals minimalist, on wii I can't even beat cave of ordeals with all the items, hearts, etc. and the mirroredness gets me confused. why couldn't they just have made link right handed instead of mirror the whole world?

Game Cube is the best. There Link is left-handed.

I'm beating TP for Wii as we speak. Then I'll tell you for sure...

On that issue, the Nintendo designers found that -- for some arcane, obscure programming-reason -- it was simply easier and less time-consuming to mirror the *entire* game and all of its lands and characters, instead of merely going in and switching Link's left-handedness.

It was certainly doable, but they had a multiple-times-delayed release date to make, and they didn't want to welsh on it again by painstakingly changing around the Link-character code by itself.

From what I recall reading, Aonuma and Miyamoto were both keen on having the Wii port being a perfect replica of the GameCube map, but this wasn't to be.

Wow men that´s it.... Link is always left-handed... another reason for me to prefer the Cube version.... ZELDA ROCKS.

I've played both versions. I own the Gamecube version and it seems a lot easier to use. I'm sure once I got used to the Wii version it would beat it. But keep in mind TP was supposed to be only on the Gamecube.

Haven't there been like......over nine thousand threads similar to this?

Anyways, I think the Wii Versions much better than the GC version. When I played through Twilight Princess for the very first time, the controls were a huge part of the fun. There were times when I'd just do spin attacks randomly, just cause they were fun to do! The thing I adored the most about the controls, though, is the aiming. It was so darn easy to aim, with stable controls and a very precise cursor. Definately better than the GC version in my opinion.

The Wii because not only is it the only tolerable title from that system so far, it was nice to break from the control formula that OoT set.

I think that the gameplay of Ocarina and his system with the c buttons was great. I only played the Wii TP for 5 minutes and I prefer the old way. The Wii controller is good but the comfort and desing of the Cube controller is the best for me.
