Forums - Nintendo - OoT Gamecube vs Virtual Console question.

TheRealMafoo on 25 May 2008

I know the gamecube version has rumble, and the VC does not, but what about resolution?

The GC version ran at 640x480, while the N64 version ran at 320x240. What does the VC version run at?

I was thinking of getting this on my Wii, and don't know what path I should take to obtain a copy.

VC runs at 640 x 480 as well

FYI: for those that don't know what I mean by "GameCube version", I mean this:

i have both (if by gamecube you mean the windwaker limited edition one) and i think the gc one is much better due to much improved framerates (maybe its not different, but it does seem so to me), resolution i believe is the same for both

 

EDIT: oh just saw your post right before mine, i haven't played that one, so i'm not sure how different it is from VC/windwaker versions

Well unless Majora's Mask is on the VC (Zelda I, II, and OoT are on it), go with the Collector's Edition on the GC. 



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

 Gah, so many choices. Anyone know if there is a difference between the one Tabsina mentioned, and the one i linked?

Actually I believe the VC one is a port of the gc one. They both are the same size and larger than the original because of the imp0roved textures and resolution. They both look the same too.

Thanks everyone. I will get the VC version. (I don't need to worry about e-bay then)

Is there no rumble in VC-version? If you play with a GC-controller?

I am not sure. I haven't gotten OoT on the VC yet.

The Wind Waker bonus disc is the OoT/Master Quest disc is the one Tabsina is talking about.

OoT/Master Quest and the Collector's Edition both run OoT in 480i (640 x 480) and using the right cables for the GCN editions [OoT/MQ and CE] you can play them in 480p.

Have I helped any?
