I really love the IDEA of Skyward Sword's motion controls, but despite putting 20+ hours into the game I could never get them to work. I even like the idea of a Linear zelda and a more story driven Zelda, but the motion controls ruined everything for me. And Fi, but I can get over Fi. 

That might be a contradiction in just about everything about skyward Sword. I genuinely hate the game despite loving all the ideas they put into it. Linear Zelda? Story-based? carefully planned individual combat encounters? More personality and character and chemistry? I love all of those things in theory, I just personally felt that it didn't work, and 90% of that was the fact that I could never get the motion controls to work. I'm quite confident that the Switch verson will fix all/most of those issues once I'm able to reapproach the game with a fresh perspective. 

What exactly was the issue with the motion controls? I'm curious, because I never had any issues. Why didn't it work?

You know the joycon drift? Imagine that but 10x worse and I needed to recalibrate every 5 minutes. For some reason, no matter what I did or what I used (I tried it with a WiiMotion+ attachment and a wiimote with the enhancement built in), it was constantly drifting, none of the puzzles worked, and it seemed like more fuss than it was worth. 

There's one puzzle early on where you gotta trick three eyes to get dizzy at the same time by pointing your sword out and going in circles. I figured out the trick on the practice eyes no problem, but when it came time to actually do it, I couldn't get it to work for like half an hour. I knew what I had to do, I watched Youtube Walkthroughs, I consulted FAQs...but no matter what I did, it didn't seem to work for the better part of an hour...until it just...worked! I didn't do anything different, but it just randomly decided it worked! 

I want to like Skyward sword (Despite my reputation on here I don't actually like hating things - hence why I made this thread), but man it pissed me off something fierce.
