Zelda: Twilight Princess - Wii

[Ouenben]

It is coming out on the Gamcube, but from what i've read, after playing the Wii version, you will not want to play it with the inferior joypad.


Just buy the Wii, and be done with it!, Its worth buying just for Zelda, (unless ofc, you can't afford it).

also worth noting the gamecube version doesnt do widescreen and i dont think it does 480p (the pal one wont at least, where as the PAL wii one will)

Glad to here this game is great, really looking forward to it now, was hardly hyped up before either.

How far are you into the game?

And is the controls good for it? Its the kinda game you sit and play for hours on end and having to do all these mad gestures to control could get annoying in long sessions compared to just using a controller.

I've clocked in at over 8 hours now, more tonight though. Was an all day session yesterday and I didn't have any strain or anything - years of wanking paid of then.

Wii Boxing took a toll though.

How text heavy is it? Is it dependent on large amounts of dialogue to know what to do? Thanks.

It's as text dependent as any other Zelda I'd say, get's off to a faster start than Ocarina and maybe Majora (been sometime with that one)

Definitely get the US version, if that's the object of the 'text heavy' comment.

As stated in other threads I'm somewhat behind other US customers in total playtime because of work, so I'll just have to say that the first impressions of this title are excellent; that it's nicely dark (I was worried that it would be too dark for the US market, but maybe that comes later? ) and, oh yes: THE CONTROLS ARE ****ING GREAT. I don't think you'd want want to play this on the GameCube once you'd tried it on the Wii.

I'd also just like to pass on a little message flying across the Atlantic to Importaku: Bollocks to your fancy-schmanzy GameCube head-mounted LCD that I was so coveting at the CrispMeet, because I've got Zelda!!1 So there

Obviously I can't really talk about the game and It's pointless yapping on in spoilers right now

BUT! I can say this: where traditional Zelda's have been very much, go to new area, get new item, unlock new area, it's thrown in some really unexpected moment's. Don't go in expecting the expected, your going to be thrown off guard in total delight.

I'm pleasently stunned.

Agree, I think it's quite sadistic even.

Yes, I will buy a Wii, I'm just trying to kid myself I won't.

This is sounding like it's going to instantly become one of my favourite games of all time. Only two games have ever done that before, NiGHTS and Mario64.

Same here, I've been trying to stay away from it and not ruin it for myself but I reeeally want to trawl the web for every video there is of it and read every last preview and review.

Hopefully I'll be playing it by Friday if VG+ conjure up some magic and then taking Saturday off work "ill" will be just what the doctor ordered.

Im really enjoying this, cos as youd come to expect,its another zelda game and yah comeplete a dungeon to get a new weapon etc, but everything is given to you or introduced to you at the very start, its like nintendo knew peeps would expect the same ole format. But there are some nice suprises. I dunno if i should really say but watching teh intro movie gives a few things away.

Graphically its very atmosperic. Its like this is what zelda 64 should have been like yah know? Lighting is so golden and crisp.

Controling link with the wii mote etc is not as hard as i thought, its actually quite easy to get into, the lil fairy thingy yah had in zelda 64 is now controlled by the wii motes and follows where ever the sensor is on the screen. A neat lil trick. I havent played much as im still disorientated over it, but so far so good!

Alright - we're drifting well off topic now - please note this is a first play thread for Zelda - I'll be removing further posts not related. Ta

Having braved the squidgy, squidgy mess that is Composite for a few hours this evening (despite saying I wouldn't) I can honestly say that I am loving this game.

It's got that lovely homely Zelda feel - you know the one I'm talking about; like when you picked up LttP or that moment where you really got into Ocarina and it took you over.

If there's one thing that Zelda's gotten really good at, it's creating a fantasy world you can get lost in and TP is no different. It's full of little loving touches and superbly done.

I'm not saying anything else about this game - mostly because no one deserves to have this game spoiled for them, but also because I'm now definitely putting it on hold until some Component cables fall out of the sky (seems more chance of that happening than getting them any other way at the moment).

But if you like Zelda even a little bit, then you are going to adore this game.

I've heard something about needing to use a speaker on the Wii's remote? This it'd be a pretty big deal for me considering I play my games often via headphones at night.
