Zelda GCN

[Null]

actually, they already made a correction of the spin thing at the end of the review.

but i agree with the easier movements for other weapons, sure once you get it in the spot with a controller its more steady cuz it will stay where you put it. but for those who have a steady hand its really easy to point and click with thoes weapons. makes those much easier and quicker. not for everyone, but its much better for people who are used to quick precise aiming like fps on pc.

That's pretty much what I just said: depends on the person. The point of my post, though, was that Gamespot didn't allow that; they just said the Wii version was better because the aiming was more precise, even though people like me have it easier on the GCN version.

and i agreed with that part.

but all reviews are opinion based. they dont have to say it in every damn review. :P
plus some people dont take the time to learn aiming with a certain way. not saying you. just saying in some cases.

How do the graphics compare? Sometimes I wonder if the Cube could pull certain things off.

About the Wii controls..... I love them. Shooting is so satisfying. The sword is a bit gimmicky (yes, this comes from a Nintendo fan) but it's still cool. I often find myself mimicking the sword movements more than needed. Not that I swing hard though.

I love this game, I just can't understand why some reviewers won't give it a higher score.

The graphics are exactly the same, besides the whole mirroring thing.

I probably judged it after just 1 min of pissing around.

But anyway does anyone think the music at twilight hyrule sounds vaguely like Silent Hill?

I think the twilight in general reminds me of silent hill. The monsters, the mood it sets. I was gonna say that b4 but looks like u beat me 2 it

Wow, I like the GC version much better than the wii version. Anyone else played both?

Just having the free cam back (even though it's not as good as in WW) and controling the sword with a button makes it much better for me.

Yeah, I beat it yesterday and the Wii version early last month. I feel about how I thought I would about it. I think the Gamecube version felt a bit easier to control my standard combat whereas I thought aiming with the Wii; all in all I think I had more fun with the Wii version. I actually found myself wanting to shake the Gamecube controller to swing my sword which was a bit awkward.

But either way, I don't think you can go wrong. It's certainly not difficult to play it on the Wii and if you're a roleplayer I think it can be a lot of fun.

I got the Gamecube version on the first day it came out, but then took it back later because I thought the Wii version might be better to play. I've played a demo of the Wii version at least, and the control scheme seemed more fun that way.

I was shooed out of the other Zelda thread since I have not yet finished the game, but I wanted to say that I'm much more impressed with it now that I've gotten further along. The ball & chain is my new favorite implement as I love to smash things. Also I recently discovered a whole section of the castle town that I had overlooked before, and I finally found out that you can actually redeem those little golden bugs for prizes.

The puzzles and hidden secrets still seem a pale imitation of prior Zelda games but I suspect this has more to do with age-related perception than anything else. After all there's nothing particularly clever about randomly bombing a pixilated wall in hopes of finding an old man with a heart container.

I really liked the idea of the 5th(?) dungeon, just a 'normal' house with people living in it. The ball & chain is nice to have, but I don't think it's a keeper like the hookshot and the boomerang are.

And sorry for shooing you out boss.

I love the ball and chain. It's so fun to use. I just wanna break everything. And I love the Ice Temple. It feels less like a temple and more like a mansion
