As with a lot of the gaming population. Don't worry, we'll get our hands on it soon enough. But for now, I'm dying for tomorrow to come so I can watch the Nintendo Conference.

The Gamecube version of Zelda isn't out till December 11th in the US.
Sucks for Gamecube owners, however that was the right move. It's much more tempting to buy the Wii and Zelda now, rather than just get it on GC the same day.
Here's a new screen! |

A new hands-on!

Quote:
NEW YORK--We'll admit it: We weren't too stoked initially when we heard that Twilight Princess, the long-awaited Zelda sequel, would be receiving a control overhaul to make it take greater advantage of the motion-sensing Wii controller. Swing the remote to swing your sword? Well, that just sounded like work. Sometimes you just want to mash on a button, right?
It turns out that the new controls aren't so bad after all. In fact, we found them to work quite well when we tried a new demo of the game at Nintendo's press event today. (The demo contained exactly the same levels we played back at E3, just with the new controls added). You don't have to make large, sweeping movements to make Link attack with his sword. To the contrary, the game will easily register a simple flick of the wrist and make Link swing accordingly, and if you've got your sword sheathed, moving the controller in this fashion will simply draw the sword, if no enemies are directly in front of you. So you'll be able to shake or wiggle the controller back and forth rapidly to attack, rather than having to swing your arm in a big arc. We could even pull off a couple of different sword combos by playing like this.
Even better was the fishing minigame, which was also available back at E3. But this time, the controls were even more like the actual sport, and we had perhaps too much fun casting our line in realistic fashion and lazily reeling it back in by making a reeling motion with the nunchaku. We were also able to flick our rod (read: remote) back and forth subtly or grossly to create the corresponding lure movement, and we had to flick the rod back sharply to hook the fish once we had a bite. Gee, just like real fishing!
The short version is, if you were planning on picking up Twilight Princess along with your shiny new Wii but were worried about the new controls, stop worrying. We think they'll be perfectly manageable based on what we played today, and frankly, we kind of want that fishing minigame broken out into a full-fledged Wii game in its own right. An afternoon in our boat (er, on our couch) with a six-pack and our trusty rod and reel sounds like good fun to us. How about it, Nintendo?

I knew the new control scheme would work. Sounds ace. |

^Fucking ace man. I am telling you, none of the big video game news sites have complained about the controls. Everyone is saying that it is smooth and intuitive.

Oh man I am undecided about this game. I am a fan of Zelda but I'm not... Ocarina of Time on the 64 was aigght, but I am more of a standard RPG guy or a fast-paced FPS person. For some reason the RT action RPGs just don't do it for me. Then again, with these new controllers... I will most likely be getting it.

I don't think it would be possible to not be happy with this game man, well i guess that's a bit biased but i absolutley loved Ocarina of time, and got into Majoras Mask as well. Zelda hasn't let me down yet in terms of great value for the $ your dishing out  |
