hehe I know I did, and then I bought the GCN version and played that ever since. While I'm at it, I almost just play GCN games on my Wii as only a handful of stellar games are avaliable (Galaxy, SSBB, MP3 etc).

Guilty as charged...

...and you know, I haven't even FINISHED it yet. I lost interest in it a while ago.

Nope. It was my first game.

Midnight on November 19th 2006. The 14 hour wait was worth it. =D

Not just for it. But it was one of the games I got with it at launch, its its been my favorite Wii games since. There have been some good ones, but the horizon looks alot better. I just hope they don't do something too drastic with the Wii Zelda game.

Well I bought it at launch for Zelda but would have got it either way. At this point the only reason I still have it is for the new Zelda.

Nope, I got the GC version, which I found better than the Wii version anyway. I didn't get my Wii until February 07

I don't know why, its the same game as the GC version, just in the opposite direction. I bought the Wii because I was interested in the controller, and the continuation of franchises like Mario, Smash Brothers, Metroid etc. And got some great new IPs out of the deal.

and Widescreen.... and all the good games on Wii, unless this is one of those threads where we pretend we are still in 2008 and the whole "Wii has no gamez" shtick is present.

that has happened to me with several games this gen but not Zelda TP I loved that game so much.

ultimatly motion controls and loving Nintendo stuff got me to buy the Wii but Zelda TP was the killer app at the time and I knew that that was what I wanted to play most.

As long as Zelda games and maybe even Mario games exist, I will own a Nintendo console. Simple as that. So not for TP, but for LoZ overall.

I did get it for the Wii but if I'd had to have waited longer I would have got the Gamecube version.

I bought my Wii cause I enjoy playing fun videogames. Of course I got Twilight Princess on launch and loved it, as any sane person would.

Knowing that Zelda was coming to the Wii for the same price as the GCN version, it was an easy choice to go with the wii version. It was the only game I bought with it at launch (aside wii sports).

Go finish it now! I beat that in the first week... and I rarely finish games. Ever.

I might pick it up later when I have the time.

It just... doesn't hold my interest like other Zelda games have. :(

I sure did, but I also got RS along with it. Both were sold on Ebay shortly afterwards, along with the system.

I've owned 5 since then

The fact that Twilight Princess was being launched the same time as the Wii was a huge plus. Other than that, I knew I wanted the Wii long before launch day.
