Are you joking? The motion controls in TP were before motion plus, meaning it was a waggle stick and they were terrible. The MC in SS were fantastic and that was the (along with Metroid prime) defining game for motion controls. I LOVED having a 1:1 control over the sword in that game. It was amazing and I'll miss it going in the future.

 


They worked as well as motion controls can and made sense, nothing terrible there. You don't have to constantly stop playing the game to recalibrate it for things it shouldn't even be used for. Also you criticises TP's sword control but then turn around and praise SS's even though both games have you doing the same thing, waggling a stick around. 

TP had me sit in my seat moving the remote left or right maybe one or two inches, in no way being similar to actual sword or bow and arrow motions. SS, during most of my time playing it, required feets of arm motion and it couldn't just be left/right you had to actually do the swings of the sword. There is no waggling in SS, and if you played the whole game like that then I'd imagine it was incredibly frustrating because it's meant to be full swings, it made it far easier. I would say I was standing up most of the time playing SS because it made the game easier to play, so I was getting a decent little workout while playing that amazing game. TP I just sat down and barely moved the remote the entire game.

I've never played Zelda but it's one series that I would love to try someday.

That's one way to look at it, but it can also be seen as a chore having to be in more specific positions and doing all that just to swing your sword. I personally like to be in more relaxed positions while I play my games especially since getting arthritis, so that's why I like TP's motion controls, because it utilized them less. Yeah, I don't like motion controls. :L

I'll be buying and loving it. The textures in the original look bad. Just really bad. Texture wise, you could almost compare it to N64 bad. The textures in TPHD looks so much better than the Wii version. Plus I get to avoid the waggle? Win/Win.

It's an HD remaster, not a remake.

The fact you haven't played the game but want to should be THE reason to buy the game, and not "only".

Ok and that's fine. TP controls may be easier and more appealing to some, if not many, people, but it is certainly not better (technologically speaking).

I totally get the reasoning of why many would prefer that if they have physical discomforts like that. Thank you for pointing that out.
