That's a crappy question.

You shouldn't ask if the stylus makes it better, because it's just a different way of playing. It's built for the stylus, and it's meant to be played with the stylus. You really wouldn't be able to use the D-pad in this game, so it's a moot point.

Zelda has done pretty well with the D-Pad for what, 23 years? 

Switching to the stylus for a control (like the Wiimote) isn't a small change.  The question of if the new control scheme was comparable to the old one is a valid one.
