GCN Zelda = Confirmed Best Version

Lefties kick ass.

So... Maybe I'll just wait for the GCN version... I mean, I didn't really care that the GCN version was delayed, because I was going to get the Wii version as well... I didn't really care about the different controls..

But, now that we know that the Wii version has actually been switched from what it was originally designed as, I think I'm going to play the intended version first.. Even if that means waiting a few weeks...

The Wii can wait...

/me shrugs and walks away

The Wii version is now ruined for me. I can imagine it now. I'll be entering a new sweeping landscape for the first time, and the whole time instead of being awestruck by the beauty, I'll be trying to imagine it all backwards. And then I'll go crosseyed.

And no one likes to be crosseyed.

Mmm hmm... sarcasm.

Hm, well...I mean I guess its possible that the Wii version might not be quite right because of this. I mean, imagine going through and playing OOT mirrored. Im betting it would be confusing as hell.

Then again, if that version was the only version we knew, and the version that we had been playing since 1998, wouldnt it have worked out just the same?

Well the problem with this arguement is no one will have played the entire Cube version.

So it won't be alien because you've never been through it "normal"

I mean you can stress yourself imaging how the game may be if it wasn't mirrored but why?

I still don't understand why the game was mirrored... or why they even felt Link had to suddenly change an aspect of his character.

Is this some sort of stupid politically-correct move? That is, against any argument that Link's problem solving and combat skills correlate to his left-handedness.

"I don't play games with Lefties because I'm right-handed. I want something I can relate to."

The reason they changed Link's sword hand for the Wii version is because they added sword swinging with the Wiimote, and since you hold the remote with your right hand and use the nunchuku as your shield, it would be very weird if Link was holding his weapons the opposite way in-game. And the reason they just went ahead and mirrored the entire game was because of a lot of inconsistencies with cutscenes and various puzzles.
