The Wii version uses the "point-and-click" feature of the Wii Remote as a "[[fairy]]" cursor (an on screen pointer modeled to look like a fairy), for accessing menus, and for using various tools such as the [[Hero's Bow]], [[Clawshot]], and [[Fishing#Fishing Rods|Fishing Rod]], (see Weapons, items and abilities); it uses the Nunchuk attachment analog stick for movement. In order to swing the sword which Link uses as a weapon, the player makes a slashing motion with the Wii Remote. A jab with the tilt-sensitive Nunchuk will cause Link to perform one of his secret moves, the shield attack. To use Link’s “spin attack” (a powerful attack where Link swings his sword circularly around himself), the player shakes the nunchuck side to side horizontally.

In the GameCube version of the game,the Y and X buttons are used for add-on weapon such as the [[Clawshot]], [[Bomb]]s, [[Iron Boots]], and [[Hero's Bow]]. Many items found in the older ''Zelda'' games have carried on into ''Twilight Princess''. The B button is used for Link's sword attacks. Tapping it once does the normal slashing motion. Pressing it two and three times just combos his sword attacks. Holding B until Link's sword charges and makes a "ching!" sound allows the young hero to perform a [[Spin Attack]]. L locks onto enemies or people to talk to. The C stick rotates the camera around, while the A button is for actions like talking, opening doors, and picking things up.

In order to use items in the Wii version, the game allows the player to equip the items to the left, right, and down positions of the D-pad and the B button of the Wii Remote using the item screen. When an item's respective direction button is pressed, the item is switched into the B button for easier use. The built-in speaker on the remote is used for sounds like the bowstring of the Hero's Bow being drawn and released, Midna's laugh, and the ever present "Zelda chime" when discovering secrets.
