lol you would prefer controlling the sword with a stick rather than the M+?

Do you want to position the sword while positioning yourself at a good position from your  enemy while waiting for an opening to hit them the right way with a button? Doing that on a regular controller would just make things a pain but you would rather have that instead of admitting that M+ would work much smoother than the combination of two sticks and a button.  

Well that just confirms your not open for new ways to play and admitting something to yourself doesn’t make it true. Waggle is a gimmick but with M+ and well implemented gameplay it’s far from a gimmick!

SS has a better story as well as gameplay than TP. Sure it misses the epic field but there is so much in the game in SS that makes it a better game. And transforming to a wolf was not fun at all. I hated the part where I was stuck in wolf form! 

the last part is my opinion though  

I personally didn't like the direction Nintendo took with Skyward Sword. But in general the market likes realistic Zelda more than "Celda"/ SS look Zelda. I think that's the best explanation. Even the Ocarina of Time remake is on track to outsell the DS games. It's a shame Aonuma prefers the comic look.

First everyone hates Wind Waker with a passion and wants a more realistic/OOT-like Zelda.
Then Twilight Princess comes out, giving us just that, but we say it's crap and looks generic, instead praising WW's greatness, and we tell everybody Zelda *needs* true motion controls.
Now Skyward Sword comes out, WM+ controls and all, and suddenly TP is a really really good game and we'd all prefer traditional button controls?

Dear me. 8/

When an epic Zelda HD for WiiU releases, I suppose we'd all rather have a 4-hour 8-bit 2D Zelda?

It took Nintendo five years to make, and it's less than 40 hours long on the first play-through.  I mean, I was literally upset when the credits rolled.  10 of those 40 hours are spent revisting the same area multiple times, and doing unnecessary fetch quests.  So, I would give SS a 7.5, which is the worst ever for a Zelda game.  7.5 is still above average, but it was most definitely a disappointment.

it did not take 5 years to make SS and that was discussed in Iwata asks. Also i hope they never go back to traditional controls as that only limits the game

Controls in Skyward Sword were great, and so was the dungeon design. However, the padding and overly linear world structure really damaged the experience for me. The over world was boring to explore and empty, the side-quests were minimal and the town got boring pretty quickly.
While the gameplay was indeed the best in the series, the atmosphere and world really let me down.

Hey! That would still be 4 hours of 8-bit awesomeness! The original was, and still is, great!

I don't really think that's fair thu... Aonuma directed OoT - which was great, right? And he made TP as well. That's 2 great Zelda games, and I for one really enjoyed SS - which makes 3 great games made by Aunoma... And further more I think it's great he's exploring different gameplay alternatives; otherwise the series would become stale, and eventually boring. SS's controls are wonderful - except when they don't work XD

Yeah, I gotta agree with about everything stated above... I feelt it had so much potential it didn't really live up to... I'd love to see something in between TP and SS when it comes to the design and feeling.

Well, since Miyamoto is the overall producer (and was the one that more or less put in M+ in SS) isn't he to blame just as much as Aunoma then?
