Copy/Paste of my comment over at GoNintendo:

That was a pretty good video...I didn't agree with everything (SS hate was unnecessary..."oh motion controls are so bad because...well just because. I don't want to explain it, just agree with me."...Blegh. Being a SS fan is hard ;~; EDIT: Wow...that rant at the end of the video...I don't even know what to say. C'mon man...) but he made good and interesting points for the most part. I think some of his points were a little overstated on how important they are, but they were still good points.


I dont want to explain just agree with me? 

Didnt know that cat rescuer needed to be explained.

Didnt know the dodgy wiimote controls needed to be explained. 

3D Legend of Zelda series frequently presents relatively mundane tasks in the first hour of the game, to first of all serve as a tutorial and second of all give a taste of ordinary life in the world. This is a frequent pattern in all entertainment media, showing how simple regular life is and then making everything go crazy which presents a far stronger parallel than simply throwing the player into the fray (which is a viable way of doing things, but it is simply different, not better).

Secondly, control issues were more often than not the fault of the user than the system. I personally never experienced problems with the controls throughout the game.

Third, there were a lot of other points where he attacked SS in ways that I felt was unjustified (For example, criticizing the "every enemy is a puzzle mentality" which once again is different, not better or worse) or just overblown, like many of his other points throughout the video.

PS: Just because you disagree with me doesn't mean you need to be rude...sentences like your "Didn't know that...." are not a good way to have a civilized discussion, they are a way to attack people's opinions and point of views without actually supporting your own argument. I can support my argument and I have many times before, I wasn't really looking to do it again in this thread and honestly, this isn't the place for a full SS discussion...
