I bought the Gamecube version, althought I had to run to five places on the 12th to get it. Some places were saying their release dates were different than other stores which was retarded. Playing it on the GCN is fine, it'll be exactly what you're used to if you've played Zelda before on the GCN (RE: Windwaker). I've played both the Wii version and the GCN version and I personally don't see a graphical difference. Gameplay wise, sure the Wii might be more fun and interactive, but if you don't have it, you're not going to be sacrificing too much, if anything regarding what you're used to.
