i'm good either way, but maybe both would be awesome.

I would like the option to use all three control methods
Pro Controller would be standard, would play like Ocarina of Time with no required gimmicks
Gamepad could be used like in WWHD for maps, off TV play, and arranging your items, but just an option
Wii Remote Plus could be the third option that, if you prefer motion controls for control of your sword and shield, you could use it instead of standard button presses

I love Skyward Sword gameplay, but this is the Gamepad's turn. If Nintendo can put both I will be happy to play two times one with motion ON and one with the gamepad.

Wii Motion plus all the way.

These days I'm only playing Wii U games on the gamepad so I'd prefer that. I only have 1 hdmi port in my TV so its easier to just use the gamepad.

This,

I mean the sales back it up too.

I'd prefer the Gamepad, I loved the motion controls in SS and all, but like the masks in Majora's Mask and the wall merging in Link Between worlds I think it'd be better as a one time thing

You could also just use Z-targeting and make the right analog stick act like the hf blade in MGR:R. Then you can control where link strikes with lightning quick speed and more accuracy. You get the same feel without the retarded arm flailing.

Couldn't they just use all 3?

I loved the motion controls in Twilight Princess, and even more in Skyward Sword. But I think it is time to try something new. They have the touch screen. Use it.
