It was still a nice improvement. Having an extremely comfortable controller without either the limitations of the DS (analog stick placement, among other things) or the 360's controller (d-pad and bulky battery pack) is an excellent step in the right direction as far as more traditional controllers go.
Plus, the the ability to throw the controller at rupees (or a beer, etc.) on far off cliffs (or in the fridge) and have it return to you bearing the targeted item is a great innovation, imo.
