When you develop a small gimmick or fun new gameplay idea that can't encompass an entire game, then yes, you pair it with something existing that you can tack it into.

I don't like this. :( I was really excited when they announced Zelda yesterday but the more I think about it, the more worried I am that they're constantly trying to gimmick, refresh, and reinvent something by moving away from its core values it has in its roots.

As long as touch screen control isnt the only option I am fine with it.

From what I've heard, the game seems to control almost entirely with standard button input. So we should be good there!

Thank god!  I still wish they would have put a standard controls option in SS.  The motion stuff was my least favorite part (other than aiming that's great to have motion for).  The Wii lagged too much behind my movements so I would be swinging and Link either wouldn't react or hold his sword awkwardly in a direction after I had already swung.  It got really annoying and the flying got so tedious constantly having to steer the damn thing with such inprecise (or too precise idk but it didn't feel natural) controls.
