...oh the sweet irony in this thread. xD

I don't get what you mean.

He's making a connection between dying on the first level of a game and having trouble with Skyward Sword's controls.  :P

That is why they have Pro, Lite, and whatever the beginning HUD was. I put mines on PRO since I got my Sword to the end of the game which I beat today.

LOL!

I agree. Some people will just never like what Nintendo does. The 1:1 controls are on point and very responsive with very little lag. Nintendo show how FPS should controll with the wii more. Now they have shown how great it is for 1:1 motion.

So, you would rather press button A for a sideways slice, button A and forward on the d-pad for vertical slice, and button B for forward stab. Or, you can slice sideways for a sideways slice, swing vertical for a vertical slice, and a forward stab for a forward stab. Maybe it's just me but the latter seems more simple and natural. 

Skyward Sword will not suffer, you will.....cause apparently you are an inept douchebag crying over some silly controls.....get a prescription for ritalin if it becomes TOO overwhelming......Children these days LOL

It may be more natural to you to swipe, but I like buttons. It's not about what's more natural, it's about how I've been playing games for decades and how I'd like to contrinue to play games for decades to come. Why do I have to do sidways and vertical slices? All I had to do to attack in Zelda OoT was hit a button and that game was perfect. I don't enjoy combat in Skyward Sword more becuase of one to one sword control. I don't feel more like I'm in Hyrule, if anything it makes me feel less so. I'm constatly reminded of the controller in my hand, while a regular controller becomes invisible.

Think of it this way. There was nothing wrong with the control method for Zelda OoT and nothing wrong with the Gamecube version of Zelda TP. It's not like Zelda fans were wishing on every falling star for motion controls. We just wanted more Zelda, based on our love of past Zelda games, which didn't have motion controls yet are consider timeless classics.

I don't think the motion controls add anything positive to the game. I'm having a lot of fun exploreing the world of Skyward Sword, but I'd rather hit a button to do a finishing move then try to remember to jerk both the Wiimote and Nuchuck. Using a shield is now a matter of timing. Attacks are now a game of tic-tac-toe. I just long for the days of buttons and joysticks when using Link's foes fell quickly on his journey while he explored the world and solved puzzles.

All I'm asking for is a classic controls option. I'm a Nintendo fan who never warmed up to Motion controls, even when they work as well as in Skyward Sword. I would have been nice for Nintendo to give us legacy gamers a classic mode in addition to a default motion method.

I don't like swiping, instead I waggle. Call me lazy but it works just as well. But I've yet to find a single moment in the entire game that feels like it's better than standard buttons and joystick.

I'm an old schooler and that's just the way I feel.

I'm also an old school gamer. But that wasn't the issue. It was the controls being complicated. In no way are skyward sword controls more complicated. The skyward sword controls replaces something like 4 different button combinations for sword swings from Zelda OoT with the flick of a wrist. It doesn't get any simpler.

You my have been pushing buttons for decades, but you have been moving your arms all your life.
