The GameCube version isn't mirrored like the Wii version and has free camera control. The GameCube version lacks motion controls while the Wii version does not support the GameCube controller. Although it can be patched from 4:3 to 16:9 as detailed below, there's no native widescreen support, unlike the Wii version.

== Emulation Information ==
=== Hyrule Field Speed Hack ===
As the player progress through the game, Hyrule Field will become progressively slower. To fix this, enable the "Hyrule Field Speed Hack" in the ISO properties (right click the game in the game list > Properties > Patches tab > Hyrule Field Speed Hack).
Unfortunately, the hack will reduce the quality of the minimap, so it is not enabled by default.

=== Hyrule Field Slow Down ===
=== <s>Improper Transparent Blending</s> ===
As the player progress through the game, Hyrule Field will become progressively slower. To fix it, enable the "Hyrule Field Speed Hack" in the ISO properties (right click the game in the game list > Properties > Patches tab > Hyrule Field Speed Hack). The NA and EU releases had the patch added to their GameINIs in {{revision|4.0-1767}}, then JP was added in {{revision|4.0-7318}}.
Transparent textures that overlay of other textures appear odd with a kind of "shimmering" effect. Mostly noticeable in Prince Ralis (although the Great Fairy is also affected). See {{issue|10346}}.  Fixed by {{revision|5.0-14602}}

*On Direct3D api, minimap will have some noise artifacts if Anti-Aliasing, Anisotropic Filtering, or Texture Filtering are enabled. Disable all 3 in order to get "clean" map. For OpenGL, disable Anti-Aliasing.

=== Sun Rays ===

Twilight Princess uses a ray effect at various points throughout the game, most notably at windows and the fountains. The effect is very easily broken. How it is broken depends on the backend used:
Twilight Princess uses a ray effect at various points throughout the game, most notably at windows and the fountains. The effect is very easily broken. How it is broken depends on the backend used:
*D3D - Anti-aliasing and an Internal Resolution above 1x Native damage the effect. Possibly fixed in {{revision|4.0-9161}}, or at least made equivalent to OpenGL.
*D3D - Broken by Anti-aliasing, Anisotropic Filtering and an Internal Resolution above 1x Native.
*OpenGL - The GLSL merge ({{revision|3.5-1025}}) greatly improves the effect in OpenGL. It is now only affected by Anisotropic Filtering and an Internal Resolution above 1x Native.
*OpenGL - Broken by Anisotropic Filtering and an Internal Resolution above 1x Native.

The built-in Widescreen Hack causes clipping and reflection issues. The following Gecko codes work as a replacement, causing fewer issues. To avoid conflicts, make sure that Widescreen Hack is disabled while using these codes.

Disabling Scaled EFB Copies can also reduce bloom ghosting at higher resolutions, by rendering the effect at its native resolution. It may, however, render other effects at the native resolution, and can decrease the clarity of these effects at higher resolutions.
