How are the motion controls? I'm really not a fan of them, but the GameCube version is so expensive...

Twilight Princess.

That's been my vote for years now.

I actually just found a copy of the GameCube version that is barely more expensive than the Wii one goes for. Very tempted to buy and play it even if TP doesn't win (after the victor, of course)...

Wow, I end a lot of my posts with ellipses.

Both versions are fine. I do prefer the GameCube controls for being a bit more polished, but you can't go wrong either way. Twilight Princess was a very early Wii game, and you can kind of tell that fact if you play it. However, the Wii version naturally has a better ratio, and while the controls are a bit primitive, they are very much functional. Plus there are some parts where its controls actually work very well. So considering the price difference between the two, I might just recommend going for the Wii version. But either way, it's really one of the greatest adventure games of all time, so you win no matter what.

Well, it is my birthday on Monday, so maybe splurging on the GameCube version isn't a bad idea.

Also, I need to admit something... I prefer the original version of Wind Waker over the HD remaster. A lot of the changes objectively improve the game, but I unfortunately cannot play it due to the ridiculous amount of bloom. I wasn't joking pre-release when I said it was burning my retinas; even toned down, the brightness actually hurts my eyes and gives me headaches.

I think the HD version of Wind Waker is probably good for people who hated the high amount of sailing and Triforce hunt in the game. I can recognize those elements were flaws but I don't think it was enough to actually hurt the game, at least not for me. The problems with the sailing were, in my opinion, completely overshadowed and practically erased by the sense of adventure in exploring the ocean. I've never played the HD port but I do admit that I don't like the look of the bloom. Honestly, I don't get their decision to give it that much. Was anyone asking for buckets of bloom in a game like Wind Waker?

12.

Agreed 100%. I absolutely love how sailing works in the original GameCube version. Still the best game I've ever played in terms of feeling the spirit of adventure.

It's just weird. The graphics are fantastically improved for the most part (that water is beautiful!) and it looks amazing at night, but daytime is just painful. The bloom overload is straight out of a mid-2000's PC game and makes the lovely artwork difficult to appreciate.

I've played them, but not to completion. They're some of my favorites, so I'll gladly finish them this time!

I still need to play Ages.
