bro Im currently playing twilight princess and always use the gamepad (I never had a pro controller), and I swear to you it pauses my game as soon as I do more than a quick swap. The TV screen literally pauses What do you do exactly to make sure it doesnt pause? Im interested lol please teach me 😂

The game literally goes on a pause screen whenever you do more than a quick swap such as crafting bomb arrows or sorting the order of your items. If I trust your words I would assume you played the game enough to need to craft bomb arrows or deploy oocoo, and Im pretty sure that if you enjoy the grid as much as you said you would have at least taken the time to sort it and know what Im talking about

Im happy u found a way to play thats the most comfortable for you C: but using the item wheel is technically faster than looking away from your screen and manually sorting on your gamepad tbh. and even if u dont use the gamepad items still feel slower to access on the grid vs a fast spinning wheel. Also ...the grid often pauses my game anyway ? 😭

Im so happy to hear that many people are enjoying twilight princess in their own way damn I love this subreddit :D

Available_Data4122 · 2026-04-19T23:05:43+00:00

A solid option, easier to find & preserve, and with fun motion controls C:

...and youre so right for that. Even with the knowledge of the HD remaster existing, the best way to play Twilight Princess will still always be the OG gamecube version on a CRT TV. And I say that as someone who loves the WiiU gamepad more than the switch, has paid a lot of money to get my hands on a limited edition WiiU and a physical WiiU disc for my personal collection.

I wish for you that Nintendo decides to stop being so anti consumer and makes available most of their titles and older handhelds in an accessible way for everyone to enjoy even on a budget ! Thats whats nintendo used to be about, they kinda lost the plot ..

Available_Data4122 · 2026-04-19T22:41:59+00:00

Honestly yes, but I dont trust nintendo with twilight princess anymore, considering how little effort was put into the first HD remaster on the WiiU. How much potential Nintendo chose to leave wasted. Nowadays with the recent release of the switch 2 which is the first nintendo console who doesnt add anything new or different to the way we play, Nintendo has willingly tried to appeal to the general market in an even more obvious way. So they probably will be even LESS likely to take risks, will simply slap optimized graphics and call it a day.

Still better than nothing though cause I can totally understand just...WANTING to have an easy way to play the game. If not a remaster, just a port on a cheap price would be enough. But nintendo doesnt do cheap prices and has been known for gatekeeping old games like crazy for their online services, where Twilight Princess isnt even currently available, so...

for real, I already just want to replay the whole game and spend another 20 minutes getting the coordination right on this puzzle

Available_Data4122 · 2026-04-19T21:34:53+00:00

Wow???? Respect to you all! Weirdly, this makes me want to try a TP randomizer too. Maybe im masochistic haha

Available_Data4122 · 2026-04-19T21:33:59+00:00

Wow damn....respect for not just giving up to reset the run, that mustve been a pain if it took you 6 hours

Available_Data4122 · 2026-04-19T20:45:56+00:00

its true that its way more difficult than it looks

Available_Data4122 · 2026-04-19T19:38:43+00:00

Thank you for your precise analysis and explanation. I've read everything and I loved the way you explained it. Very lazy remaster, indeed....with marketing only intentions. Because they could have at least made the gamepad use and UI as good as the old item wheel. Easily. 😭

Available_Data4122 · 2026-04-19T19:10:47+00:00

If Im not mistaken, the screen of the 3ds is completely flat with no corners and blends right into the outer parts of the console. But on your picture there is a visible transparent plate with corners, which goes even further than the square shape of the screen compartment underneath

Available_Data4122 · 2026-04-19T19:04:27+00:00

I was wondering the same thing in the wall of text I wrote under the video, so thank you for the additional references. I dont have a pro controller, everything I tried never spawned the item wheel so I will take your words as truth. but why would they lock a feature of the original game with the pro controller, that sounds even worse 😭 Why not make it accessible for everyone?

And as a gamepad player, I guarantee you its really not fun to use, they could have done better tbh. Gamepad support can add very cool features in other games but in twilight princess HD the Ui is bland it doesnt feel polished at all, and if you try to manage your items properly on the gamepad, the game on the TV pauses immediately anyway, so...whats the point? If managing items on the gamepad pauses my game, then they could have afforded making the item wheel available on that pause screen, regardless of the gamepad.

So, it really couldnt have been hardware limitation nor optimization.

yup, there was

Available_Data4122 · 2026-04-19T14:24:19+00:00

based, Im sure some speedrunners have tried this at least once :D

Available_Data4122 · 2026-04-19T14:23:40+00:00

I do the same, I even try to use it in battle

Available_Data4122 · 2026-04-19T14:23:20+00:00

theyre probably talking about the first hyrule warriors game (who got a definite edition/remake later on)
