$50 for the pro controller is such a rip off. That thing is so bear bones it is ridiculous. It is comfortable and nice but it should be $35. It has nothing in it.
I agree too, WTF at no motion.

Does it at least rumble and have gyroscope? If it doesn't have gyroscope how do you perform the extra jump in NSMBU?

Zr, just like the gamepad?
It does have rumble but no motion and not even a headphone jack. SMH.....
I am not a fan of motion controls but aiming the ClawShot and even the bow is simple and beautiful with the motion control. With the claw shot I just tilt my gamepad upwards a bit and... TADA! Such simplicity!
Makes me miss WiiMote+ Nunchuk controls. It feels badass using Clawshot/Hookshot and pointing at the screen.

Not that it's going to deter me at all from the purchase but what's the quality of that Ganondorf statue if all it makes is a $10 difference?

Good to know. BTW you can shake the gamepad too.
Pathetic. I'll wait for version 2, hopfully.

Seriously they need to tone down the jelly blobs. They are not fun to fight.
It doesn't help when you stun them and they go back over the water where you can't hit them.

I really enjoyed this with the hookshot and bow and arrow on Oot for 3DS. I was surprised at how well it worked.

Running headphones through a controller would probably kill the battery life though if they had to stream audio too right? I need to get my headphones from my trunk today I keep playing zelda without headphones and I keep wishing I had them with me.
Can the hammer affect them in that state?

But that's how the 360 controller works.
I think Nintendo meant the Pro controller to be for player 2 and didn't expect people to want to use that instead of the gamepad.
I don't think anybody has it yet. We'll all get it the same day as you!

Motion controls are at their peak when they are used subtly. Personally I enjoyed the sword combat in SS a lot (A LOT), but honestly I can also understand why people might prefer a more simplistic, digital approach. But when it comes to anything analogue, such as aiming, or 3D movement, they really offer a much better feel and alternative. I'm not surprised at all at the praise this is getting, now to wait for my copy.

Oooooh yeah. I just got my disc today from Amazon (came out today in Japan). I just popped it in my Wii U. I'm way too excited about finally getting this game . And now, to Hyrule!

I think Beedle (the shop in the boat that you find at every major island) sells them.

WoW!!! That's a trolling COMBO!!!
One for saying that he got a refund because the game performance was atrocious (as if we haven't seen tons of videos of it's locked 30fps) and the other spreading misinformation about the lack of an account system.
Look, I imagine that destroying Nintendo is such an important mission as to invest tons of time on it, but don't get yourselves too invested on it, it's better to simply enjoy videogames for what they are more than for who makes them.

You need the bow. If you don't have it yet, you haven't progressed enough in the story.

How do you adjust the up/down camera on the right stick?
Can't invert third person Y axis.
Nobody can answer that for you. Do you want it now? Do you care about looking at a box on your shelf? Do you like not having two switch discs? You've waited 6 days already, do 8 more days really make a difference? You have to answer these questions yourself.
As someone who never finished the original game release; the second half of the game is new to me.
I felt so, so dumb when i found out how u,u
So i spend like 40 minutes trying to find Makar in the quest to open the Temple of Wind; i'd seen the music coming from the waterfall but couldn't figure it out how the hell get it the cave behind it
I was being extremely sarcastic. I said that in a previous post and if you look in my post history you will know I am being sarcastic.
It's become impossible to detect sarcasm. Especially here, especially in Nintendo-related threads. We're drowning in trolls.

I bought it. A week later and no regrets. It's only 1.7GB, plus you can upgrade your hard drive space if you ever need to. No having to switch disks, ever.
definitely no gyro, I thought it didn't have rumble either, but I could be mistaken. It is one of the most comfortable and lightest standard controllers though, and also has a whopping 80hr battery life. I dont think i ave even charged mine since I got it around launch. Though I hardily get to use it.
man inverting sticks should be a hardwired system level standard. I like how xbox does it. You can set default control options in the 360 system menu. And then all games pick up those settings.
Pro Controllers have rumble.
That sucks! The analog sticks are to loose, and I am so used to the invert Y axis.
I'm an "invert" myself
It's not an issue in Zelda games though. You didn't even have camera control in the N64 games or TP and SS on Wii. IIrc, WW-GCN only had zoom-levels on the Y-axis, right?
Yes that would've been a cool solution.

This is one of my all time favorite games, and I can not remember struggling with the camera like this. The sticks on the Pro Controller are much tighter and have helped me a little, but it still sucks that I can not change it. I will adjust eventually I hope. The game is Gorgeous!

I've been playing through Dragon Roost Island on hero mode. I died once so far but I have to say I completely don't get the people saying Hero mode is unfair (or annoying or whatever). The place where I died was right before I got to the rat holes. When I got back there I used bait and was offered to buy a red potion on my first try. I filled up on hearts and threw down some bait again. It took me two tries but I was offered a red potion again which is now in my inventory. You can buy bait from Beedle who is always circling the island. So just stock up on bait before you go, or leave and come back. It's a good system and certainly seems thought out to me.
I am the only guy that likes the Triforce hunt? I like how they streamlined it but I feel after the final dungeon, with all tools, I can go questing out like a mofo. Visiting island, getting hearts (that WiiU browser is a blessing!) while getting the Triforce and charting the whole seas. Having a blast just like when I was 14! BAM!
The new Triforce hunt is really quick and easy, I really like how they fixed it up. It feels like regular exploration as opposed to an annoying side quest. I've actually had fun doing it, which is crazy.

I finally caved and bought the Limited Edition System Bundle just because I wanted that gamepad so bad, despite owning a Wii U already.
I didn't realize the game and Hyrule Historia weren't pre-installed, so I just loaded them onto my old Wii U (since you can't transfer content yet), and synced up the new controller to the old system. Now I've got an extra Wii U I'll toss up on eBay.
I blew $199 on the new system after some trades, so if I assume I was going to spend $50 on Windwaker and I was never going to play those games again, I'm really only out $149 for an extra Wii U. I'll probably list it on eBay or something and see what I can get. Or customize it and sell it for a little more.

Yeah, I've had a system freeze thanks to a YouTube video. Sucks, really.
