I have to wonder why people are so confused about Nintendo's desicion to port TP to the Wii. The Gamecube was dead. The best way for Nintendo to get Zelda in the hands of as many players as possible was to put it on Wii as well. Asfor the port itself, I thought it was well done for the amount of time they had. No graphical improvements were necessary and the motion controls actually worked better than the original controls. Attacking with the sword isn't supposed to be specific, it's supposed to be easy and responsive, which it is. The bow shooting alone makes the Wii controls better than the GC controls. If you're still not convinced go around the web and look up reviews on TP- the vast majority of them agree.

Getting back on topic, TP is a great game no matter which console you play it on. Having played through every Zelda game thus far I'd say this one easily ranks in the top 5. It does start out a little slower than the others, but it's also 10-20 hours longer. The dungeons are huge and there's a lot of random stuff to do out in the world. If you've ever enjoyed a Zelda game, you'll like TP.
