You should tell your mom to try Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz instead.

That game is much easier to control.

Wait, I thought you were a fan of Wind Waker.

I'm not so crazy about the overworld either, but I think it's a... slight improvement.

You have to wait until he's standing right in front of you to make his hand stop following your every move. It only makes sense after he's blocked your attack for the umpteenth time. After all, the guy doesn't even try to attack you.

And the second phase isn't that good, but it is the first moment in the game where an enemy actually tries to attack you, albeit half-assedly. (a few counter-attacks here and there don't count)

Windwaker is my favorite Zelda. That's probably why I'm so disappointed with SS overworld. It looks like it wants to replicate Windwaker but it's nothing like it. Windwaker had lots of bigger islands and plenty of stuff going on in the ocean as well. Plus you actually sail to the locations instead of teleporting. And you can control the camera in Windwaker so you can look anywhere you want while walking / sailing without having to go in first person mode. My biggest gripe with motion controls is that it takes away the ability to look up and down easily.

Thanks for explaining the first phase, makes sense now how I got some hits in eventually. I remember the 2nd part now, it would probably have been more fun with a shield, those don't last long :) Went fine with just the sword anyway.

I'll get back to Zelda eventually, Dark souls is absorbing my time at the moment. (That also has some control issues, weird bug where it doesn't execute a roll, then suddenly executes it out of context next time you block a hit)

am i the only one who never had any problem with the control from the beginning ?

That's because you're not a waggling soccer-mom.

Gamespot is right... waggle doesn't work --> controls are broken, for a Wii game...

To prevent oneself from looking silly, one should take the time to read the thread.

As for the bolded, if you also took the time to read the thread you would realize that more than just "soccer-mom's" had issue with the ceremonial race with the Loftwings. Quite a few people here, including well known Nintendo fans admitted to this. Heck, some had more issue with skydiving them they did riding the Loftwings.

Not to mention you would have also realized the thread was made in a humorous nature. All here understand the game has a learing curve early on.

So cool off, take a breather, and just join the fun.

Maybe your mom sucks at videogames.

I had fun!

At first i wanted to write: "Well then she sucks and needs to learn how to use the Wiimote properly"

But then i tried a bit different with the Gamespot logic,...ok it's your mom, sry.

Actually they did XD

So how's your mom lately? We want to know what happens next. She's the latest internet sensation.
