You sold your Wii to play crappy pool in GTA4 didn't you, heathen? Begone, Zelda no longer loves you....

What I did is bought a Gamecube in order to play it - you can pick one up for next to nothing. Course I happened to get the deal of my life: bought a GC off someone with a few games I wasn't interested in for £30, traded the games in against Zelda and got £35 off. Meaning that I actually ended up playing Zelda for £5 less/i] than RRP even though I bought a console specifically for it.I want to buy a wii just so i can play Zelda.
So whats the verdict: Ocarina of Time or Twilight Princess?

If you look at the music in isolation, TP's is better, but the eponymous Ocarina of OoT made its music a much more central and involving experience. I think the dungeons in OoT felt more epic and more coherently designed. Nothing in TP comes close to OoT's water temple. The gameplay mechanics in TP are brilliantly varied and much more sophisticated than TP, but some -only some - of that ends up feeling superfluous, especially compared with OoT's elegant simplicity. This typifies the difference between the two games: OoT is elegant and unified where TP is sophisticated and sprawling. I wouldn't say OoT is better than TP, but I don't hold with the ' best for its time' argument either, because I think OoT is damn near timeless, the mid-nineties equivalent of Tetris.Max, do you contest the superior music, design (esspecailly dungeons) and gameplay mechanics of TP or do you simply give OoT the praise it deserves from the time it was released?
Never played it.For the record, Windwaker if the greatest console Zelda game, in terms of music, gameplay and design.
No single game is worth £200 for my money. And that really is the only Wii exclusive game I could give a damn about.You didn't play Super Mario Galaxy though. A game worth the price of the console.
Never played that either, damn it. Though when I finally get hold of a GC or PS2 copy, I doubt I'll much mourn the lack of waggle.Also if you havn't payed Resident Evil 4 then the definitive version is on said console and by definitive version I mean the best game of the last generation.
Water Temple is the worst dungeon in any zelda game. I think we have different tastes when it comes to dungeons.If you look at the music in isolation, TP's is better, but the eponymous Ocarina of OoT made its music a much more central and involving experience.

This typifies the difference between the two games: OoT is elegant and unified where TP is sophisticated and sprawling.

It would be worth the 15 quid you could probably find it for. Although I'm sure you have your hands full for the time being.Never played it.
It is worth it! Well along with Wii Sports it is.No single game is worth £200 for my money. And that really is the only Wii exclusive game I could give a damn about.
It saddens me that the waggle meme has reached even you but it's not about motion control in Resi 4 Wii it's about the pointer controls which completely enhance the experience. GC/PS2 versions would be good enough though because you'd know no better.Never played that either, damn it.

Bu....but..... I don't actually have to play the games to be a fanatic... do I?You sold your Wii to play crappy pool in GTA4 didn't you, heathen? Begone, Zelda no longer loves you....
No mention of Luigi's Mansion? I'm disgusted!Other GC games that need to be played Pikmin 2, Metroid Prime 1, Paper Mario 2: The Thousand Year Door and F-Zero GX.
Really late response. Prime 1 had the best atmosphere and music!Also in terms of storyline, exploration, awesome power-ups and bosses, Metroid Prime 2 outstrips Prime 1 for me.
That is all.
RPGs:Seeing as there are quite a few good games out for the DS at the minute, I'm considering buying one. Someone persuade me. GO.
