I would make a sarcastic comment about getting the N64 version (Ocarina of Time), but I've never played it to know if Twilight Princess is as similar as some people say. Oh, well.

If you find yourself spiritually drifting (as I was for far too many years), remember that Jesus can and will walk across the water to reach you and bring you back to shore.

I'm always tempted to pick up the Gamecube version just to give me an excuse to play through it again, but it's not always easy to find, and even then it usually still goes for $30-$40.

She-Ra is awesome. If you believe otherwise, you are clearly wrong.
Urban Champion is GLORIOUS.

Wii version. The motion controls work perfectly.

I bought the Wii version at launch and the GC version after I beat the Wii version 5 times. In all honesty I prefer how the game plays on Wii, but the Gamecbue version gets the 10/10. The flipped world in the Wii version felt awkward the everytime I played it and when I played the GC version it was just... it felt right. (i'm left handed by the way lol) Just the way the world felt as you ride through it on Epona it felt Natural and since I had played the Wii version 5 times and KNEW everything was reversed the last thing I shoulda felt was how natural the landscape felt, but it just feels right. The game was built for Cube and it plays BEST on cube. That being said when I wna just BS around Hyrule Field I play the Wii version cause of the Bow Controls and all that.

So, even though TP was released to the GC and Wii at the same time, you could consider the Wii version to be a remake of sorts?

They should've made it so you can have Link left or right-handed on the Wii. Now it's going to feel weird with Link being right-handed, and I'm not about to go get the GC version. I've gotten too far into the game to have to go through it again.

I might pick up the GCN version... It seems cooler than the Wii one for some reason IMO. It's really easy to find in my area at pretty much any Gamestop, but it's still like 40 or 45 dollars. I heard there was an extra room or different room in the Goron Mine too, compared to the Wii version.

Why is Link lefthanded anyway?

Because it was originally announced for GC, like years earlier.
They even denied a Wii-specific version would be released until a few months before it came out (they said it would play on Wii only through backwards-compatibility).

If it had been released a few months later, they'd have to call it a NPC title.

I guess his lefthandedness makes him special.

Repeat thread, but hey, maybe this is the mirror version.

Wii version for me. I couldn't go back to analogue controlled bow and arrow, yuk!

Rawr!

Wii for the aiming controls & widescreen, gamecube for the fact the game is more impressive on the lesser system.

I Personally like the Wii version more just because of the aiming for weapons like the bow-and-arrow and the clawshot. I seriously couldn't go back to dragging a cursor across the screen.

It's a port. The only reason they came out at the same time is cause they delayed it for gamecube for over a year. They shouldn't have even flipped the hands. It's not like it really matters it wasn't 1:1 movement.

There's exactly the same amount of items.
