The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Wii Controls?

Please read everything.

*************************************************

Today, I was talking with my friend and expressing my excitement with the new Zelda game on Wii's compatibility with WiiMotion Plus, allowing the player to swing the Wii Remote, and have Link mimic their swing, with his sword, in that precise manner.

******************

However, he then said that Twilight Princess, on Wii, did, indeed, have a similar feature, although maybe not quite as refined.

******************

From my understanding, Twilight Princess on Wii has you shake the Wii Remote, but this is no more than pressing the B button, and it does not matter the manner in which you swing it, for you use the control stick/locking on to do different slashes/combos. Good old Jeff even says this here:

Jeff says, pretty much, that shaking the Wii Remote is exactly like pressing B on a Gamecube controller, nothing fancy, end of discussion.

******************

However, my friend said that swinging the Wii Remote straight down will cause link to do the same, (likewise swinging horizontally will cause Link to slash horizontally, etc.) for example without touching the Nunchuck at all. (No locking on, or control stick movements) I have tried this many times, but Link simply does his horizantal slash, the basic, regular slash without using the Nunchuck, which would be found by just pressing B in the Gamecube version.

******************

VERY IMPORTANT: I am not using the official Wii Sensor Bar, I am using a third party wired one, although I'm not sure how this could change anything. I have tried doing it in pointer mode and without.

******************

Is he tricking me? I couldn't find a better way to explain it, I hope you understand what I am saying.

******************

Bottom line: Is Jeff completely correct here?

Thank-You,

If memory serves me, you are correct.Agent-Zero

There's one. :lol:

Yeah, just swinging your remote in any direction has no correlation to how Link does it.

He is wrong and you are right

btw the wii version of SW the force unleashed works like your friend says

No, in TP the motions and on-screen actions have no relation.

Yeah, basically the Wii controls were put into the Wii port after the game was finished, hence why they're a bit simple.

WRONG. Everyone here is WRONG.

It says explicitly in the game that a Vertical action will result in a vertical swing, a horizontal action into a Horizontal swing, and a thrusting motion to stab.

However, the game doesn't do a great job of translating this. So although swinging aimlessly will result in whatever action, you can mix it up. Just keep in mind it won't be perfect by any stretch of the imagination.

I don't want to say you're wrong, but I have tried EXACTLY what you have said to no end and it does not do anything, he just does his horizontal slash. I have tried thrusting the Wii Remote and swinging it vertically, it simply does not work at all.

Are you referring to this:

This video starts at, and contains the end of, the sword tutorial in the game. (It starts at 0:00 and ends at 1:05) It says there that you just swing the Wii Remote, and refers to the Nunchuck for everything else. I'm sorry, but I just do not know how you can be right.

I have read the entire Instruction Manual and it does not mention anything about this either.

I have experienced that if I swing my WiiMote wildly, Link will sometimes perform a vertical slash, but that is part of his attack (so it is one attack with two horzontal and one vertical slash). Note that when I did this I only swang the WiiMote horizontally, not vertically, meaning that Link does only perform a vertical slash if the Nunchuk stick is pushed forward.

This is correct friend but remember that TP for wii was made really fast the controls for the release the could have make it better but nO!

your friend is telling u: BUY AN XBOX NO SHAKE!
