Ya...

This is by far one of the worst debates ever to grace PGC or NWR or whatever the hell it is. And to my suprise (not really), Ian is the one carrying the torch. Why Ian? Why?

This is just....well....sad.

"Wrong. Zora's Domain is supposed to be wedged between Kakariko and the Forest.

Your North is backwards."

You're right.  What the hell am I thinking of?

Probably not.

Dudes, don't fight, just do what I did: get both versions.
Problem solved!

Nope, I wish though, just for my collection.

Flipping the whole world is actually easier than just flipping a character, they just have to render everything backwards, and is probably just a line of code, or a few lines, flipping only link would need extensive reviews of every single of his interactions with the world in order to make sure everything is right, from shaking hands to opening doors.

I guess it only matters if you notice details, a world where everyone is left handed and the sun rises in the wrong side might get the attention of someone who pays close attention to those kind of details. Since the only location changed was Zora's Domain the rest seems pretty much like OoT.

I only bought both versions because I wanted to, not because Nintendo told me to.
That makes a big difference

It's not like I have to play my GCN copy, and I probably won't ever. =D

Cuz we all know the definitive version is Majora's Mask.

Buying both versions only makes you a sucker if you primarily wanted the Cube version but bought a Wii just to get the Wii version as well.  That would be kind of dumb.  But if you wanted a Wii anyway and prefer the Wii controls then getting the Cube version could be seen as an investment.  The Cube version is the last Cube game of any significance.  It isn't going to have a large print run.  Thus in a few years it will be obscure and likely somewhat of a collector's item.

- I wanted a Wii anyway: I always buy (well, except for the Virtual Boy...) every Nintendo console,
- the GC version is indeed an investment as it is the last Nintendo title on the GameCube.
I do not regret any of my Zelda purchases

I much prefer the TP overworld to that of OOT, it's much more interesting, not just huge empty polygons that waste five minutes running (especially since TP only forces you to go through there on foot once and you won't ever have to approach some of the larger areas without a horse). And I don't think I've even seen a hint of a secret on OOT's hyrule field while TP has a decent number of them.

I suppose the change to Zora's domain was necessary to deal with the larger map and get rid of the star shape of the old hyrule. How else would you fit in some of those areas you get through on the way there while still having a shortcut to the domain from a common field area?

You know the "flipped" world made helping a stuck friend really hard.

"Go to the East till you hit the bridge."
"I've gone all the way to the East, there's a big rock"
"Oh shi-."
"What?"
"Yeah, the flipped world."
"Huh?"
"Just go the other way."
