8th Gen Lacks excitement

TP was a bit of a let down actually after the long wait to get my hands on a Wii. My friends had already completed the game twice on the gamecube, first thing they said when I tried it, why is everything mirrored. It's the first Zelda I got bored with and did not finish.

By TP's logic: This gen started great with open world sailing in AC4. Loved it, lots to explore, looked great too.
Ofcourse if you say this gen started end 2012, then wow we got the last of us at the start of the 8th gen, ported to a 7th gen console for early access.

Nonsense aside, TP was a late 6th gen game. I regretted not playing it on GC as the tacked on motion controls weren't worth losing camera control for. Wii sports was exciting for a while, yet the Wii fell short of my expectations after the long wait. Zack & Wiki and Mario Galaxy redeemed the system, but that wasn't until end October. I have already enjoyed more WiiU titles than I had Wii titles in the same time frame, this gen is fine.

What

I have enjoyed both versions of TP extensively, and camera control was never an issue for me. Hold the C button on the nunchuck, and use the C-stick (or the aiming reticule) to look around. It's nowhere near as big a concern as accidentally using up a potion because the dialogue skip button is assigned to the B-trigger, which also happens to be the button to use an equipped item. Just as well that Rupees were easy to aquire in TP, not least by being able to slash through grass while running.

But I own both GC and Wii copies of the game, and have alternated between both on my periodic playthroughts, so what the hell should I know, eh.
