Question: can you play twilight princess hd with a gamecube controller?
Answer: No. The only way you could use the GameCube Controller with Twilight Princess is by playing the GameCube version of the game on either a Wii or GameCube. The Wii U doesn't have ports for GCN controllers, and the Wii version of the game isn't programmed to allow other controls other than Wii Remote and Nunchuck.
