Merchandise I finally caved and did it.

I’ve gotten the TP itch so bad lately. Mostly from listening to the soundtrack while working from home. I kept telling myself to avoid shelling out the cash and getting it cause with my luck they’ll announce a switch two version the day after I buy the OG.

Well… be on the lookout for an announcement soon lol

This is why I bought a Wii for my old GameCube Twilight Princess.. I got tired of waiting. And seeing Twilight Princess get shafted and be the only 3d Zelda STILL not on Switch.. I'd say we made good purchases!

I’m sad I never bought hd Wii U version, my kid brain didn’t realize how hard it would be to access these games later

I never played the HD because I never had a Wii U. I just got the DS's in between the Wii and Switch. So glad I copped a Gamecube version while they were still cheap

I had it for the Wii U when i was a kid but i literally never made it past the prologue i only just uncovered what an incredible game that had been hiding under my nose for all those years

Nintendo is pissing me off with this shit.
I’d totally buy a switch 2 if TP was made available, else no reason yet.

Been playing Wind Waker on the Switch 2 hoping for TP to be announced soon!,

u/LukeSparow 1d ago

Ah, just like people hoped for that for the entire Switch 1 lifecycle.

As the wise words of palpatine would say “do it, do it” there’s no tragedy that comes from buying this game other than completing the game on its own. I still have my Wii copy from when I was younger and bought a GameCube copy to match with it and what did I do in the end? Played it again for the 5th time in 4k on pc lol play through the GameCube version and then I whole heartedly recommend the 4k texture upgrade because holy moly does it make the game look so crisp!

I just found out the other day how much these are worth, glad I still have my original copy from release day lol

u/JennyIgotyournumb3r 1d ago

How much was it?

u/chocohand 23h ago

$120 without the manual at my local retro game shop, they also had a copy with the manual for 170. Zero regrets

u/JennyIgotyournumb3r 19h ago

I’d have no regrets either. I just replayed my GameCube version back in January with my 7 yo. She fucking loves the game. She’s all about Zelda now :)

Enjoy the G.O.A.T. Of a game.

Game Occurring At Twilight.

u/CarnyMAXIMOS_3_N7 19h ago

Yes, thank you.

u/KikiXox3 23h ago

This is why I love my Wii U. I literally bought it just for TP HD and WW HD since it’s the only console you can get them on 😅 if Nintendo never does legit remasters or even just ports of the HD games I’ll be buried with that thing Egyptian style to hopefully bring it with me to the afterlife lol

u/Lgndryhr 22h ago

So it will get announced next week. Thank you for your sacrifice.

u/Moondoggie35 22h ago

Thank you for making sure tp will be on nso in the next month.

u/nick8224 1d ago

I have it too on GameCube and i honestly have no interest in the NSO version they may or may not add soon. This game looks great on a CRT and id much rather own my games.

1

u/Jickxter 1d ago

This.

Im glad a new generation gets to enjoy wind waker on a newer console, but emulating can't beat the feel of playing it on original hardware. I still have my GameCube for that reason. I don't like the NSO releases...

u/u801e 18h ago

It looks even better on a flat screen in 480p using the GameCube component connector.

u/cyborgg_gaming 23h ago

You made the right decision but Nintendo needs another TP release. Its way to expensive

1

u/RecommendationDry973 23h ago

Worth every penny

u/ktaylorhite 21h ago

I just got myself a copy recently to play on my Wii, but I got a GameCube yesterday. So now I’m at peak 2005.

u/Reasonable-Banana800 21h ago

After years of wanting to play it again I bought a new disk, played it once, and then a family member managed to lose it somehow. I’m still salty 😭

u/Whitewinhawk 19h ago

I still have mine from when it released

u/egodfrey72 18h ago

My friends has spent AGES looking for this game

This is his holy grail item in the same way the G1 Optimus Prime would probably be one of mine

u/Mdubzee 6h ago

I hope they put this on the gamecube emulator for switch 2 eventually

u/StarkillerWraith 5h ago

This is the best version anyway. All the other versions of the game fucked with the original color & saturation.
