Wii Zelda: TP details emerge
May 4th, 2006 Posted in E3 by Darren Stevens
Details on how Zelda: Twilight Princess will be controlled by the Wii controller have emerged on a few fan forums, and an email was dropped by to us regarding this information as well. I contacted Nintendo about some of these rumors and was given the standard “No commenting on rumors” reply. But it sounds realistic, and I would not be surprised if they were true.
- The Wii-wand/tv-remote/revmote (call it what you want) will be used for camera control. When “A” is pressed it will control your actions.
- “A” button (big one) will be used as lock-on targeting (The “L” buttons was used on GameCube). When locked on, the revmote will be used to swing your sword, use your bow or hook etc.
- The D-pad will be used as the original C-buttons for you inventory, since it’s right at your thumb.
- The “a” and “b” buttons will be used for camera control as well (see image)
- The nun-chuck add-on will be used for steering Link while the two buttons act like “A” and “B” on the GameCube.
Several sources indicate that this information comes from Nintendo contacts, but it’s not confirmed by Nintendo. It seems the optimal way of controling Link without too much confusion. Expect more (official) information at E3.
