We are gathered here today to mourn the loss of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Nintendo Gamecube, we hardly knew ye.
Joystiq has confirmed with numerous Gamestop and EB Games retailers that the Gamecube version of the newest Zelda offering has been removed from their computer system. Their websites have also been updated to reflect the change. We have yet to receive any official word from Nintendo, but all signs point to this as a done deal.
Get out the pine box and some nails, prepare to bury your Gamecube. It's over. The Gamecube is dead, long live the Wii.
Unless -- Nintendo announces they'll offer Zelda:TP from their online outlet like they will in Japan.
TheGamer Writes "In my experience, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess’ once-warm reception has chilled somewhat over the years. Praised at launch as a beautiful return to form after the “childish” art style of its direct predecessor, the world eagerly embraced a game that more closely followed Ocarina of Time’s famous structure and plot cues. Perhaps most alluringly of all, the grandeur and sheer scope of this reimagined Hyrule Field wowed millions of us."
The best Legend of Zelda games experiment and tackle new grounds for the industry. These are the essential titles in the series you need to play.
I am a huge Zelda fan and love them all, but for me Ocarina Of Time is the greatest and my second all time favourite game after Final Fantasy VII.
Oh gee can't imagine what Number 1 is
....
A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker etc is better than Breath of the Wild.
Majora's Mask still holds as my favorite to this day, despite being the black sheep of the series.
I love them all, but Wind Walker, Link to the Past and Minish Cap are my favorites
Recent rumors suggest The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Oracle of Ages games are coming to Switch, but that doesn't really add up.
I remember enjoying Twilight Princess overall, though the dark/light world mechanic felt too similar to Metroid Prime 2.
I never played Skyward Sword though. Did that retain the cool as fuck sheathing animation link does in Twilight Princess?
The whole time I played the remake of "Link's Awakening" on my Switch, I kept hoping they would do the oracle games in a similar style.
I wonder when the "why any other Zelda but Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword would make more sense" article will pop up.
Gotta release um all Zeldamon'
Really funny seeing this and "What’s with the lack of game content, Nintendo?" right next to each other.
OK......no and hard pass but ok. Look Zelda TP is a very good entry but imo its had its time and 3 versions on (Gamecube, Wii, Wii U) I say let it rest. Especially since it will inevitably be just a slightly touched up port of the HD Wii U game. Id actually prefer a Wind Wake HD port over TP. That said Oracle of Seasons/Ages done in the new Link's Adventure style is vastly more appealing to me, and I hope that's what they do.
...but I still feel for fans that couldn't afford, or weren't planning on buying a Wii anytime soon. Bad Nintendo, bad.
This is quite a shock, although it certainly makes a great deal of sense from Nintendo's perspective.
I wanted to play Zelda with a real controller, not the wiimote! This sucks!
I wasn't planning on getting the Wii right away cause all I wanted to play was zelda for now. My cube has been collecting dust for 3 years, I'm def gonna sell it or somethinig. Last game I had for it was soul caliber 2.
Mixed feelings. Really now though Zelda with the Wii Remote is going to be kick arse! Don't know what you two are talking about, because Zelda with true control how is it a bad thing? On the other side Gamecube not only did get windwalker but they also had those collecter discs with all the other Zeldas on it. Seemed they wanted the GC a Zelda console but they just changed it to be the Wii.
However, I can dig it, Wii is awesome! I can say this for the DS was crazy talk and now it's proven to be the best.
