When I started up it said "you will need the classic controller" though I seem to remember the page saying GC was okay too?

Yes, unfortunately, it does require the classic controller or a gamecube remote.
This is actually what has made me hold off on buying some SNES games. I would love to buy F-Zero, but it requires the classic controller. Nevertheless, I purchased LLTP as soon as I found it was on the VC because I loved the thing that much. I swear I've purchased this game five or more times!

Only Zelda game ever made? Fudge that.

Both Castlevania and DKC say that to me, and they both work with the GC controller.
And when I say work, I meant horribly. As much as I love the GC controller, it just doesn't work very well for some VC games. Ok, when AB are teh main buttons with YX as secondary...but imagine DKC, which has Y for run, and B for jump.

I'm confused about whether I should buy this on VC. I've started this game at least 5 times before, but never finished it. The most recent was while I was waiting for the release of Twilight Princess, and I stopped playing LttP when TP came out.
How much more of the game is left? If i'm only halfway or less through the game, i'll probably get it.
On the GBA version, I beat two dungeons in the Dark World, I think it was called the Swamp Palace.

Yeah, but can you really say you didn't expect that? No sane business will give you the option of buying the points in increments of 100 because they can make more money by going per thousand or whatever.
sweet mary mother of jesus, this thread has inspired me to go back and finally beat the game. i stopped playing it a couple years ago on the final temple and now i remember why. TOO DAMN HARD, i keep dying every 3rd room or so, but i grin and bear it because it is SO much better than turning the game off and having to start in the middle of hyrule and work your way up that god forsaken mountain

Zelda II comes out in Japan today!
Once I get home I plan on downloading so I will now have Zelda, Zelda II and Zelda: LTTP on my VC! They need to hurry up and release Ocarina of Time so I can play every single console Zelda on my Wii!
edit: oh an Majora's Mask (I never did play this one).

LTTP is the best Zelda because it's the only one that allows you to turn enemies into ice and then kill his mates with the ice statue.
Another reason would be because you can create blocks, run against them, make the block fly toward some enemy that will get hit by the block.
Another reason is that you can create a block and let enemies hit it once and again until they disappear.
Yet another reason is because arrows get stuck in the enemies for some seconds.
In the end LTTP is the best Zelda game because it's the most fun to play, and the one that allows for a more creative style of play from the player.

Well I just beat the game (credits currently scrolling behind me), so it wasn't that bad. That final temple just a bit too long that made having to start at the first floor every time you died very very annoying.
But, according to the game I died 197 times, which is probably around 190 times more than I've died in all the 3d Zelda's combined, so nevertheless your point rings true.

I didn't know TP kept track of deaths... where can I find this information? I honestly don't even remember dying.oreelios said:

I never owned a Gamecube and only just recently picked up Wind Waker.
The bonus disc / Zelda collection thing is extremely expensive in Japan at all the places I have seen it (on and offline).
They used the "baby link" yelling because in all previous Zelda games (except Zelda II I think) Link as depicted as the 'young' hero you see in Ocarina/Wind Waker. When people bitched endlessly about Link being young in Wind Waker, and about how the artstyle was kiddy, I saw it as more of a return to the series' roots. But now, thanks to a certain Zelda-lite title cell-shading is cool again, anyway... I digress. I'm good with or without it (I own the GBA version but still want to play this on my TV/Wii).
Between LTTP this week, and Super Mario World next Monday, I'm going to need a new points card/credit card :lol

Well, if you know how to access the Wii Shopping Channel through Firefox (hack on PC which you can easily search and find out how) you'll see that Super Mario World has just been added to the Wii Shopping Channel for future release. This could mean a couple weeks or more, but usually it means the title is coming next week. For instance, a Link to the Past appeared on the Shopping Channel hack last week, and voila!
Then again, those 3 Sega titles are still due to be released, and if they are added next week I can see Nintendo holding up Mario for one more week. Either way, it's coming! And I need more Wii points

At least all the SNES games have been full screen. And the sound isn't slow (never was, because the SNES had a non-clock speed dependent sound chip).wazoo said:
Don't know if it will carry over to VC, but PAL SNES games had less slowdown then the NTSC versions, including LTTP - a few bosses that hiccuped a bit in my Japanese version ran smooth in the PAL version, or even on the Jp version running on a PAL machine with the lockout disables. On the original hardware this was because it used the exact same CPU and only the PPU was clocked down.
I wonder if it's still true on VC? If it is, IMO PAL SNES VC games will be the best versions, because they'll run smoother, yet are now full screen too.
Actually, I'll check Castlevania 4, it had more slowdown in NTSC too...

Super Mario World is good news to me since I never beat it either... The sound quality of the GBA versions of LttP and SMW seemed terrible to me, it was better on SNES, right?
I missed a lot by not owning an SNES until late in it's life. The only SNES games I beat were FFIV, FFVI, and Chrono Trigger.

DIrtyWeasel said:
Ermm... I'm not sure if you're going to like SNES sound quality either, if you weren't satisfied by the GBA (I believe the GBA's sound chip is better?).
Anyway, according to Nintendo Power, Streets of Rage and Donkey Kong Country are coming here really soon as well, so I definately need some more points
For me, what made it the best of the 3D Zeldas was mainly that it was the only one of them to never have any downtime--every corner of the world was packed with something or other at some time or other. The dungeons were also pretty challenging in a good way, and the different styles of maneuvering with the Goron and Zora masks were (and still are) the most fun style of movement since the Pegasus Boots + Roc's Feather in Link's Awakening.Oblivion said:
I'm glad they're getting all the over played classics out of the way. Obviously Nintendo's gonna toot their own horn, and people are gonna be happy with the best Zelda getting released. I'm just happy it's out of the way so we can make way for the forgotten gems that people never played like Soulblazer/Terragamina, the original Star Ocean, the Mana games, the Fire Emblems, the Famicom Wars, Sin and Punishment, Starfox 2, you know the good stuff. That's when VC will really get me excited.

The game I want more than anything is Actraiser.
Technically, I don't think MM is the best Zelda, but it is my favorite one. There are two reasons: great NPC's (the whole Bomber's notebook scheme), and lot's to do in the overworld (besides the sidequests, reaching a dungeon is always a quest in it's own).Oblivion said:
Oh, and LTTP is great too, it was my favorite game once.

YOU LIE! Because we all know that Zelda 3 on SNES came with that 'little black booklet'!
LOL!!

All of that is mainly manipulating blocks though. Not bad by any means, but I've played better.
jepense said:
I have to agree on the NPCs. I was actually quite surprised they took a step back in TP. Rather than having a routine that a player could follow through from beginning to end, the town NPCs (in Hyrule Castle Town) would simply pop in and out depending on what time it is.
oreelios said:
I can't wait until those (who've only played the 3d Zeldas) play Zelda II.
"OMG, when I die I start all the way back at the palace?"
"Which way do I go to get through Death Mountain!? I keep dying!"
"Unfair! Those flying horse heads keep bumping me into the lava!"
"How do I Z-lock the monsters? What! The ironknuckles can hit around my shield!!??"
"Help! I'm being killed by invisible enemies!"
"This game is still hard even when completely leveled up!
"It's going to be so much fun for people like me! (And Zelda II isn't *that* hard compared to some more difficult NES games.) I wish Nintendo would put Abadox, Blaster Master, and Silver Surfer on the VC just so I could hear the Internet scream.

your comments about zelda 2's difficulty are true, but the newer zeldas are easier by merit of their competent hit collision and character control, among other things. if the mechanics of a 3d zelda were as stiff and rudimentary as zelda 2's, the streets would run red with blood.

There's an easy answer to that: They won't.
They'll get easily frustrated by it, shrug it off as crap, make fun of the game as being the 'black sheep' in the series, and then bash people who happen to like the game.

Yeah, seriously, LTTP wasn't hard. Zelda II, that was a bitch.Cyan said:
