Quote:As to which version, every single person I know got the Wii version because we all just HAD to get the Wii (ahhh hype machines...). One other detail, the ENTIRE UNIVERSE is mirrored in the Wii game. The official reason is to make Link right-handed, but... mirroring the entire game wasn't really needed to accomplish that. Plus, the Wii controller's unique setup means that it really doesn't matter which hand you hold it in. Why not just have the USER switch which hand they hold each controller in? Even better, ASK the user if they are left or right handed at the start. Oh well, it doesn't really affect too much unless you go from one version to the other and get lost, I'd imagine.
It is pretty weird, but I guess there are some places where somehow which hand Link has the weapon in matters or something?
I don't get why they felt they had to invert the entire world either, but they must have a decent reason, or I can't imagine them ever going to such effort when something easier would have done it...
On that note though, there's one more reason why the Gamecube version is superior -- Link is a lefty like he should be, and the world isn't inside out. :)
... Plus those little Gamecube discs look cooler. The main reason to get the Wii version really I'd think is for people with widescreen TVs who don't like a bordered or stretched picture, or who really like the motion controls...
