To be fair, most of the hype around Twilight Princess was over motion controls because, well, this was before we realized motion controls for swords is a terrible idea. It looked good for its time, but no more. It certainly hasn't aged like Wind Waker.

Are you thinking Skyward Sword?

No. Twilight Princess had a good bit of hype around the motion-control swordplay, even though it was basically a gamecube button press translated to a flick of the wrist. That was when motion controls were so new even that little token addition was considered great.

I think the problem I am having is you said "MOST of the hype..." .   My understanding is that "most" of the hype surrounding Twilight Princiness was the art style given what WW shown before it.   While some hype came about with the motion controls, it was small by comparison...whereas motion controlled sword action for Skyward Sword was indeed what most of that game's hype centered on.
