I still wonder whether the GC controls will remain an option in TPWii.

Yeah me too.  I'm thinking that might be the deciding factor for me, although I'm still open to the Wii version since I think it'd be a cool fresh experience (despite all the negative press.)

Part of the cause for this whole argument is that Nintendo had decided for some bizarre reason to sell two nearly identical versions of Zelda.  And since Wii is backwards compatible, all Wii owners will have the choice to make between the GC and Wii versions.  The Wii has a distinct advantage with its widescreen display, but many of us don't have a widescreen TV yet.  That leaves the controls as apparently the only other difference between versions.  So it's natural for the controls to be a deciding point, especially when the Wii controls are clearly NOT universally preferred, at least in their current state.

And again, this argument that the game is early just does not float.  Zelda has been in development for years, and the Wii version has supposedly been in the works since around the time that the delay was announced last year, which would also make it one of the earliest Wii games in development.  There were third-party demos with better pointer support than Zelda had, which is ridiculous, and most of the other Wii demos had more logical, intuitive uses for the controller (fishing notwithstanding).

Well whatever. The fact of the matter is you played a small portion of the game and if the game had amazing horse-back gameplay and amazing Twilight wolf control, you wouldn't know.
