Naming schemes for example for the East Street and West Street of Hyrule Castle Town are not adjusted. | ||
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 Nunchuk side to side horizontally. | 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.

The game was first revealed at [[E3 Media & Business Summit|E3]] 2004 when [[Nintendo]] showed a teaser trailer of their new ''Zelda'' game to a small group, resulting in outrageous uproars from the viewers. When the ''Zelda'' community found out, many fans were extremely excited. Many were happy to see ''Zelda'' taking a mature turn, which, as opposed to the cartoony, cel-shaded art style of 2003's {{TWW|-}}, received a much warmer welcome. After ten months of silence from [[Nintendo]], a new trailer was finally revealed at the {{Wp|Game Developers Conference}} on March 10, 2005 to an eager audience. | The game was first revealed at [[E3 Media & Business Summit|E3]] 2004 when [[Nintendo]] showed a teaser trailer of their new ''Zelda'' game to a small group, resulting in outrageous uproars from the viewers.
