The only ones that I can think of are no Widescreen support on the gamecube and whatever happens to be on the left on the Wii version is on the right on the Gamecube version (or vice versa, not quite sure) which is pretty odd if you ask me. Regardless Zelda games have always delivered as great pieces of game making. Truly one of the best videogame franchises out there. Looking forward to that review Chris!

I figured I'm not missing out since really, when Nintendo did the preliminary testing on the game elements, they used the GC's processor. It was more made for the GameCube than the Wii, but they were easily able to transtion the game control scheme to the Wii specs. This is all from what I've read. They only released it first for the Wii since it was to be one of the Wii's launch titles, a distinct honor for any game. It even uses a modified version of the Zelda: Wind Waker's graphics engine... and Wind Waker was freaking beautiful on the GameCube! I grew up totally on the 3D Zelda games, so I'm a little deprived of the old school Zelda games. My wife, though, does have the original NES with the first Zelda game (the gold cartridge one!). Lotsa fun! Actually Britgirl, I’m playing the GameCube version (hence, the picture of the GC version).

I had it on my Game Boy (yes I had a Game Boy) and it was so addictive. I got stuck at one of the levels and never really went back to it... but I will someday. My husband got stalled at level 9 on an old nintendo Time doesn't permit at the moment as you can imagine. So I hope you aren't going to give away too many secrets. Although, probably the tips might be good. I assume you are playing it on a wii? It must be different from the GB. At least there is the Internet to find the tips :) Hey, I love the Legend of Zelda!
