I played it had a hard time with the controls, but… what I’m wondering is if this game is seriously something that has to be played. I’ve gotten a few nintendo systems already as it is JUST for Zelda. Is Twilight Princess worth buying a new system for?
Get a Gamecube…. hmm…. I didn’t ask about the gamecube.. I asked about the Wii.
Well, first off, I didn’t tell you to get a Gamecube, I told you to get Twilight Princess for that system. Assuming you’d most likely have a Gamecube because alot of people do these days and you mentioned you had other Nintendo systems without stating them. That was my only mistake, contributing from your lack of clarification, I fail to see how retarded it actually is.
well.. i do tire of asking a legit question and someone coming back with a retarded answer that.. doesn’t answer the question.
I probably would’ve answered with some actual advice but the fact that you just had to throw in the smartass comment about understanding, that’s all you’re going to get from me. Treat me like a child and that’s exactly what you’ll recieve.
Smarties… That actually is an answer that I was looking more for than anything else. I’m afraid that my wife won’t be able to get into it, and after sampling the in-store copy of Zelda, you’re absolutely right.. the controls were rigid and I had to do more thinking as to what combination of movement did what. I was actually TIRED after playing it the 20 minutes I did. LOL.
But.. I’m wondering if the game itself is worth it. If it lives up to the standards that previous Zelda titles gave to its audiences. I have always loved Zelda. I saw a huge G4 review for it and was amazed to see what I did, but at the same time I saw other things that made me scratch my head and go.. hmmm….
Thanks!
No.
$300 for a game that’s not even the best in the series isn’t worth it.
However, if you’re interested in other games coming out for the system as well as all its other features (and it sounds like you do have SOME interest in it), then it might be worth picking up.
The GCN version is absolute trash compared to the Wii version.
I can quote myself and answer this nonsense, but I’ll recap with some key phrases:

Not to mention how my initial response isn’t even bad, it’s an honest response. This is pretty amusing though. But awesome nonetheless, gogo ignore function. Works like a charm. That is all, back to my Ghost in the Shell marathon.
Did you actually have to put that ‘LOL’ there? It singlehandedly destroyed your post. I mean, noone would laugh after that. They’d cry, maybe.
Personally, I think Twilight Princess is worth initially getting a Wii for. I’ve played every Zelda game (except Wind Waker), and none of them have hooked me the way Twilight Princess did; I played for about three hours every day until I finished it.
The controls really do have a learning curve, in the same way that using a keyboard and mouse combo for FPS’ on the computer have a learning curve. Once you get the controls down (after the first dungeon), you won’t have to think about them again; they really do feel fluid, and become second nature.
Also, the Wii is excellent socially, too; Wii Sports is probably one of the best pack-ins ever. My wife and I play Wii Tennis all the time, and my friends come around for Wii Golf tournaments. The training and fitness sections are a great way to get used to the motion controls. Also, for sheer minigame fun, Rayman Raving Rabbids is the best party game, ever.
That’s three launch titles that will give you hours and hours of playtime; also, if you’re a fan of old-school games, the Virtual Console gives you full version old games on the cheap. I’ve been playing Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario Bros. for the last couple of days, and playing them with the Classic Controller and the Wii-mote (on its side) respectively feels like playing them as they should be played.
Also, other games like Elebits (released in the US, but I haven’t had a chance to play it ’cause i’m in Aus) and WarioWare Smooth Moves are either here or just down the road. Later this year Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Super Paper Mario, and Super Mario Galaxy are all coming out.
Add to the list any GameCube game that you never got a chance to play (i’m still looking for a version of Resident Evil 4 that DOESN’T cost $100, preowned), and the Wii, in my opinion, is definitely value for money.
Raidenex.. i appreciae your post. That really helps, because I also want to try to get my wife hooked on it. (mainly so she can stop bugging me when i’m playing City of Heroes) That alls ounds great. I can’t believe that Resident Evil 4 would cost that much though. I’m not sure I’d want it on the wii anyway…. i like the control scheme for hte PS2 regarding that.
Thanks again for the post. It helped out alot.
I assume you’re talking in AU$, but still that’s a huge price o_o
I got a lot of RE4, WW, and Wario World on ebay for $30 US including shipping a couple months ago…
Also, Gilthanos, I’m not sure what you meant about the control scheme for RE4. To play GCN games on the Wii, you need GCN controllers and GCN memory cards.
I definitley prefer having control over my camera to having to use Z over and over again, but the ease of spin attacks with the Wii and aiming makes me prefer it sooo much more.
THe biggest problem I had with Zelda when I played it for that 20 minutes I did was the camera. Drove me crazy. Couldn’t figure out if i could jump or not either. lol
The only times I died in the game were in the second dungeon, when camera issues made me keep jumping into the lava. :/
Just thought i’d mention that your high-horse attitude in General Gaming and General RPGs is totally ruining said forums for me. Internet A-Hole personality is old, and we have enough the way it is ;(
To keep this … wiimotely on topic (lol see what i did there), I want a wii.
The camera control is very similar to Ocarina of Time; Z-Targeting. As soon as you get used to pulling the Z Trigger every couple of seconds, the camera issues really aren’t that bad.
Also, you can’t jump in the "PRESS A TO JUMP" sense, but Link will automatically hop over small gaps. And as *MINI-SPOILER FOR ANAL PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T LOOK AT THE MANUAL* Wolf Link, you can do context-sensitive leaps in certain places with the help of Midna. *END ANAL SPOILERS*
Still, while Z-Targeting works fine in this game, I can see camera control being an issue. If I was Ninty, I would have put a ‘C-stick’ on the Wiimote like the one on the GC controller.
I was talking about RE4 on the GC as opposed to RE4 on the PS2, not Zelda. =o
I haven’t even gotten a chance to play Zelda yet because i’m holding out for a wii and there are no wiis to be found.

haha well you can see where I might be confused.
I haven’t played RE4 on the PS2 but I find it controls well on the GCN, except for the lack of strafing which sucks.
Also just to give another answer to the thread starter’s question, if you buy a gamecube, you can’t play Wii games. If you buy a Wii, you can play hundreds of additional games plus Wii games. It’s a no brainer.
It’s not like you can’t look around in first person via C… :O
