I'll probably go for the GC version

how it's played with the Wii controller doesn't convince me, and it's probably the last "classic" Zelda, so to speak...


although, it would be wiser to wait until we get some comparison tables or something

It just seems that Nintendo is dropping the ball lately with some of their decisions about it causing all these issues to overshadow the game.

Well, I think they've learned from the 360 launch...which had a bunch of ports from the previous gen and worked out fine.

Anyway. Personally, I think the Wii version will control suprisingly well. Miyamoto himself is overseeing the control, after all.

There is still a chance that Nintendo could make the Wii version playable with a GameCube controller (they're doing it with Smash Bros, after all). That way, everyone who's on the fence (like me) can get a chance to try both. If I have to choose, absolutely have to choose, then I'll pick the GC version, based on what I played at E3.

I'm getting the Wii version regardless. The controls aren't the reason I buy Zelda games. I played Wind Waker with a fractured wrist and my arm in a cast and enjoyed every minute. The right side of my GC controller was covered in plaster by the time I was done.

I figure I might as well get used to the Wii controls for traditional games. I have a feeling they'll feel a whole lot better than traditional controls once I get used to them.

Well, if you watch the newest E3 trailer again you may see some good news.  I'll give you a hint...it's in the marketplace scene, towards the back, on the left.  It appears to be a normal looking Goron, albeit a bit bigger than the regular gorons seen in OoT.  

My official guess is that  that picture is of a goron being posessed by the 'Twilight" (or some evil force....affiliated with Midna, mayhaps?).  That armor is controlling him or something to that effect, and he's not very nice.  The beady blue eyes scream "posessed" to me, and the positioning of the metal (especially on the head) makes it seem like more or a controlling device than anything practical

Remember Link fighting the Goron in the other video?  That Goron had similar markings on his body like the one in the pic.  They both look uncharactericly mean.  That would indicate to me that we'll be seeing similar markings on other posessed creatures in the game....like Zoras and Deku Scrubs

Or maybe not.

As I said before the guys below him in the scan makes up for this "lol xxtreme" crap. if they messed up with the cute little deku scrubs Ill kill someone though. I think is a going to be a class thing, like this is the warrior "mature" goron, and there are other normal gorons, the same for the other races.

The soldier with walking spear and shield was pretty cool actually.

They've been tortured and mutilated, and now, perfected.

This has probably been said before, but my theory is that the twilight is slowly consuming the happy world in the game, and when it consumes each place whatever is there that it consumes turns evil, like that Goron in the pic. Or maybe they just get infected and slowly turn evil. I have a feeling Link might be fighting lots of good guys in the game. That pic(s) of the town released last year looks like it's about to be engulfed in twilight, everyone's busy packing up getting ready to leave.

God damn it, i'm actually hyped for this game again. Hurry up and come out

I'm sitting here laughing at you guys thinking that the Goron art there is so-called "xtreme crap"...It's called a "BOSS" and bosses are supposed to look menacing...

Agree with Bill. (or he will hurt you)  Bosses should be different looking that normal variants of same species.

I am totally getting the Wii version of the game.  I just really want to experience Zelda differently this time around.  I have played 2 traditional 3D Zelda's and they are great...but 3D Zelda isn't like 2D Zelda, or 2D Mario in that the game is so perfect that you can constantly replay the over and over.  

Besides, the Wii version of the game may actually run with Gamecube/Classic control setup AND Wii setup?  Why not?  Since the code will already be designed and balanced you could easily just choose in a menu setup which you want to use...or it could detect if the classic controller is plugged into the Wiimote or if a Gamecube controller is plugged in and ask you on bootup of the game.

In any event, better graphics, sound, new control system make the Wii Zelda experience the definative purchase.  


It would also be wise to note that E3 will not represent the final control mechanics of the game on Wii, and the game may in fact become much tighter in control before launch.  The same is true for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Red Steel.  People assume the control is locked into place how it was at E3...and there are several more months for everything to get tweaked and perfected.

Yeah, Bill's right. I hadn't seen the trailer up until now, but it does look to be a boss. Does that mean we can expect the mutated version of the Zoras to be a boss too?
