Q. Can you please explain the new control elements in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess?

A. As you know this project has been developed all along for the Nintendo GameCube. Due to the development schedule and release timing we felt we could incorporate unique Wii controls into the game. Luckily for us the way Link traditionally uses and selects items translates perfectly into what the Wii remote offers. Selecting items is now truly natural and does not interrupt the game as it used to, and using items is more intuitive and fun than was ever possible. Using the pointing device Link can also interact with his environment unlike ever before. Just wait until you go fishing, you really feel like you are casting away and reeling them in.

Q. Can you explain why you decided not to have basic sword functions controlled by swinging the Wii remote?

A. It seems like a natural fit, but as we all know Link has to swing his sword a lot. This could get tiring for players after many hours. We didn

wonder what that means...

Well, about not being able to swing the controller for basic sword movements...that sucks! What I think they should've done is made it an option, so if the player doesn't want to swing they could turn it to button controls... <_<

AWWW! I wanted to find something out about Midna..hmmm..just a theory,but maybe Midna and Zelda are connected in some way? .....like a new alter ego...but she`ll never outclass Shiek!! Never,never,never! *voice echos*....if not,just kick me

[Gingerlink 2]

Ive looked as hard as i can and i reckon that midna and zelda aren;t connected, they may still be but i think it seems unlikely.

well i've been saying the past few days on the forum that it won't have full tracking...
hopefully they'll put it in the next one at least as an option though.

Well,I finally made up my mind..since gamecube games are compatiable,it won`t be like i getting rid of my gamecube for the Revolution! So he`ll be able to get SSBB..and TP..mwahahaha ...that is,if mom is willing to cooperate

Midna is the one who manages to rescue Link when he is being held captive when he turns into the wolf. Not much is known but when Link turns back into a human, she seems to able to follow him around as his shadow. She's like Navi or Tatl, except less annoying I hope!

*crosses fingers*

If she is as annoying, I will shoot myself.
