The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was initially developed with the Nintendo GameCube in mind, but ended up receiving a Wii port when it was released to promote the new console. This version has motion control compatibility for the sword and pointer controls for the menus, the bow and the boomerang. This version of the game has a completely inverted map and locations when comparing with the GameCube release. The change in layout was meant to adapt Link's usually left-handed design to right-handed people, given the motion controls.

Having finished this I’ve been mulling over how to rank the dungeons and it’s proven pretty difficult. I think the only truly weak dungeon might be the Palace of Twilight and maaaaaaybe the forest temple. Every other one is really memorable or uniquely fun in some way for me.
So for my tentative ranking:
- Arbiter’s Grounds
- Snowpeak Temple
- Lakebed Temple …

Visited my parents’ house last weekend and unearthed my copy of this for the Wii. I think it was the overly long prologue that made me bounce off of it a decade ago, but today I got past it and made it through the first dungeon. Happy with how it’s going so far! Hoping that there aren’t too many wolf …

Starting AGAIN. I've probably gone through this intro ten times. This time I'm using crt-royale in dolphin, which is fun & cozy. I think I'll stick with it this time.

Starting AGAIN. I've probably gone through this intro ten times. This time I'm using crt-royale in dolphin, which is fun & cozy. I think I'll stick with it this time.
My only gripe so far is that the game doesn't really respect the player's time - like how long it takes for the hawk to land on your arm after using the whistle grass. Or how a 1 minute walk through foggy Faron Woods takes 5 minutes because you have to wait for the cute monkey to swing YOUR lantern overhead like some kind of hooligan. I guess the lack of respect isn't without precedent. Who could forget King Zora scooting his ass to the left in Ocarina? At least that cutscene felt like a joke.

This games visuals are dark and broody but I love it that way. This is the most realistic looking zelda game even more than BOTW/TOTK which use cell shading graphics. The game is loooong but every minute is very enjoyable. This epic quest is filled with terrifying enemies, beautiful dungeons and unique items like the spinner and ball/chain. The combat …

The combat is also super engaging and it really feels like you are attacking the enemies with your wiimote.

My understanding was there is a patch that fixes this but there was some finagling you have to do with the ini files to get Retroarch to pick it up. So instead of going through that headache, I switched to Twilight Princess HD which emulates perfectly on the Steam Deck through Cemu with flawless performance. Funny how things are with emulation sometimes.
