I quit for good at the 2nd Thunderhead battle. I had already put the game away twice before. It just wasn't very captivating for me. The empty overworld, re-use of environments, monsters and bosses, together with never really getting to grips with the motion controls killed it for me.
I didn't finish twilight princess either, instead watched someone else finish the last part. Also lost interest there.
Since OOT and Windwaker Zelda has gone downhill for me. Well actually since I played Okami. Majin and the forsaken kingdom was a better game for me then skyward sword.
My main problem with motion controls is missing a 2nd analog stick to control the camera. Not being able to look around freely hampers immersion. I should have bought twilight princess for the gc. The motion controls in that game were definitely not worth losing camera control over.
Skywards motion controls were at least mostly fun, however it still misread my motions 20% of the time after 20 hours of play. The biggest problem with the motion controls is that they are not direct but some combination of position and gesture recognition. Which made the stabbing motion the least reliable, and slashing motions often respond to my back swing / repositioning of the motion controller.
Maybe my expectations were also too high. I was hoping for sports champions gladiator duel type fights but it's nothing like that.
