Is there really a difference in Twilight Princess besides the controls when comparing the GC and Wii? I'm wondering which one to get. The GC is cheaper so I'm leading more towards that.

I really think the GC version is better. It is cheaper and has the same plot. I play the games for the plot and then second, third run through I play for fun and some times look for extra side quests I didn't see the first time.

I prefer the GC version. Sword swinging is more precise,and being the pretentious person I am,the game has more glitches and sequence breaks to take advantage of.

I found the wii version to be better all around, the new controls better aiming and a few other things just made it feel a bit newer as the video the other user posted above illustrates. But from what i can tell everyone usually likes the first version of the game they played, those who didnt pick up the wii right away like the gamecube version and vice versa. But like most people have said its a matter of opinion and their both great, I own both versions of the game but if i had to recommend one over the other it would be the Wii version hands down.

No way it is better all around. It isn't traditional. Unless you want to tell me that link has always been right handed. Personally I like link the way he was and seeing how he used to be on Nintendo64, Nintendo, gamecube, even the game boy. But the Wii its good for Wii sports and such but the rest of the games are less looking for a way to make the game better and more about making the Wiimote pointing system do something. Sure there are a lot of good Wii games. Take Tales of Symphonia dawn of a new world its a good game and also it is on the Wii but it didn't really benefit much from being on the Wii. Just my oppinion.

Aside from the controls, the only differences between the two are the visual side of things. The Wii version is a flipped version of the GCN one (this was done so that Link holds his sword in his right hand). Also, the Wii version supports widescreen (the GCN version doesn't). Other than that, there are no differences. And contrary to the beliefs of some, the Wii version does not have improved graphics.

The Wii version is slightly more enjoyable, but I'd recommend the GC one just because it's cheaper and they're almost identical.

I agree with everything said here. If you use an HDTV TC, than I would recommend the Wii version because widescreen makes a difference in the presentation, considering how cinematic TP is.

I've only played the GC version personally (and enjoyed it a lot), but everyone I've spoken to who has played both versions, prefers the GC one, some even quite heavily. The navi pointer seems to be a real annoyance.

I personally love the motion sword controls and fishing, and pointer control of the bow and arrow and boomerang. So I say the Wii version. Also of course anyone who has an HDTV or will soon get one, should go with the Wii version for the widescreen mode. I hate playing 4:3 games on my tv. Also I guess you get the added benenift of being able to go out to the Wii menu with the Wii version instead of turning the system off like you have to do with Gamecube games.

I enjoyed the motion controls of the Wii version a lot more. The whole experience just seemed more natural and fluid... just my opinion though. Also who cares if Link is right handed in the Wii version, is that really going to hurt the story in any way... I think not.

i played the wii version and was pretty cool i guess.. for a NPC game

however the gamecube one felt more like the oldschool zelda and less cumbersome to do the moves the knight teaches you. i also thought the graphics on the wii were a bit soft and the gamecube one had more color.

Wii version, definitely. I hated fishing in OoT and couldn't understand who would have the patience to get all the lures from the shop. The Wii controls made it much more fun. I also liked how accurate using the bow and arrows was, even on horseback.

I started disliking when he turned blonde but I could stand it. But when does some one swich hands of being better with. Atleast make him ambadextrios. Hair color changing is different.
