    IGN Wii

    Now, you swing your controller to control Link's sword. The arrow/boomerang, etc. items are now used with the B button (the trigger underneath the controller), instead of the D-Pad.

    Sweet. Great job, Nintendo. B)

        Wow. You nailed this one on the head in the other topic GL. xD

            All too perfect. Safe to say it's a close stretch away for being the best Zelda of all time. Looking forward to testing my arm at it.

              But in all seriousness, this new control scheme should improve things. Aiming and holding the B Trigger feels more natural than the D-Pad, and I've read previews that it was cumbersome to use Link's spin attack with the nun-chuck. Now, it shuld flow that much easier.

                I'm not sure if anyone made this point yet, but some people get so into the game, they move with the controller. Makes life less embarrasing for them, too.

                  Yes! Oh yes! This is GREAT news! Sounds awesome, and now I too won't have to think about which version I'll be getting. I believe, and have been believing even before this, that Twilight Princess WILL be the best Zelda ever, and also to me the best GAME ever. CAN'T FREAKING WAIT!!

                    CRAP! IGN fricking hates my computer. But, they're not using the nunchick to spin attack anymore? That's good. That sounded like a really silly way to use the controller.

                      This is a bad way for Gamecube to go out.

                      From what i first heard about LOZ: TP it was going to be the last game for gamecuber, before the Wii. It would've been a hell of a... leaving present for gamecube. Now that it's also going to be out on the Wii, or instead of ( havent been keeping up with the media lately) now there is nothing to look forward too for Gamecube now.

                        It is still coming out on gamecube, but it will be on Wii as well. I guess Nintendo are trying to move the attention away from Gamecube and onto Wii. Still it does worry me that the Gamecube version won't be as good as it could have been, if Nintendo focus everything on the Wii version.

                          WHY wouldn't the GameCube version be as good as it could have been? It'll be the same as the Wii version, just with different controls, well that's what they say at least. And the most important thing for Nintendo at the moment is the Wii, having a lot of good and famous launch titles, and making a lot of money from them. They only kept TP on the GC because they kept promising and promising it'll remain a GameCube game. If they hadn't done that I'm sure they would have just transfered the whole thing to the Wii.

                            That's what my worry. They only kept the game on gamecube as they hadn't really given themself a choice. My worry is that they'll do a rushed version for Gamecube whilst leaving the good one onto Wii.

                              1. They started the game as a GameCube only game.
                              2. They've been making it for what, three years?
                              3. They said the games will be the same thing, just with different controls and the Wii version having better graphics and wide-screen compatibility thingy.
                              Once again I ask you: WHY wouldn't the GameCube version be as good as it could have been?

                                I'll admit the game will probably be good, but compared to the Wii version, it might not look too good. You've even said that the graphics will be better on the Wii version. Still there's no point in speculating what we can't tell until the release. We'll wait and see.

                                  Yeah, the graphics ARE going to be better on the Wii version, they already said that. I'm talking(and I thought you were talking) about the things that matter: gameplay. I thought you were saying that the Wii version will have more mini-dungeons and side quests or something.

                                    No I meant the general standard of gameplay would be different (and better on Wii) due to the new control system as well as the graphical standard. I didn't mean the level of content. I knew that would be the same for both. But as I've already said, we'll have to wait and see. I could be wrong. (And most of my arguements end up that way). :blink:

                                      Oh, I get it! Sorry about all this then. :blink:

                                      People are making too big a deal over this whole "Oh, they didn't put GameCube controler support in the Wii version of TP!" thing. If you don't want to play TP with the Wii controler then why would you want to play any other game with it? Better you don't even get a Wii. Also, just buy the freaking GC version then! Big deal...
                                      What I said above is not directed towards Me111, but everyone and anyone who are devastated by this fact. :(

                                        I still plan on getting it for the Gamecube, i'll be more comfortable with the controls and I doubt i'll have bought a Wii yet...

                                        Anyway, I do like there idea on using the weapons. I would love to use the bow for the wii version. :blink:
