It would be difficult for them to allow both Wii Motion+ and conventional controls on the next game, if they plan on going with the same kind of combat that was in Skyward Sword.

They'd have to map out a button configuration for Link to slice at many different angles, which is possible I guess maybe with the Wii U's right circle pad or something, but if that's the case, I'd imagine most ppl would just go with the Motion+ anyway. I'd imagine it would feel more natural... but who knows.

The Wii U tablet: your new shield.

I love this game but detest the controls. I really hope they at least give the option to just plug in a standard controller...and stop reminding me what each item is every time I turn the game back on.

Still gotta play skyward sword!

There should ALWAYS be an option of switching between motion controlls to classic. I don't mind the motion controlls for Skyward Sword, but there are times I wish it were just button pushing. It depends on my mood, too.

I've put in about 10 hours and I hate the motion controls, they're ruining the game for me. If anything they should give us the option to use or not use them.

i loved the motion control i would rather have some strategy to fighting rather then mashing one button over and over again till i won i find the to be boring and a bit to easy

The motion controls were great in the game,but nothing beats a regular controller.

I haven't played SS yet but I'm okay with this. That said, Nintendo would be smart to make them optional though. While some people may be okay with it, there's still gonna be that audience that either doesn't care about motion controls or gets tired of them.

Why cant they do an option for both?

Just make the combat better and harder like the motion controls were in Skyward Sword. But in reality they are not needed and if the Wii U doesn't have them how would they do it anyway?

I think a touch screen setup, similar to Infinity Blade, would work best for the Wii U Zelda games. However, going forward, all games should give players the option to choose a conventional control scheme or a motion/touch pad control scheme.

I don't think motion controls are that bad. I think they're even better than button controls. With a little tweaking for accuracy, they could be totally awesome.

Combat was so much better with motion controls.  You actually had to plan your attacks instead of just mashing the "B" button.  That being said, I would like to see the inevitable Wii U Zelda game use the Wii U controller in some cool way.

That sounds terrible to me. Skyward Sword is my least favorite Zelda since A Link to the Past.

Does that mean the Wii U Zelda will use Wii controls?

See my user review of Skyward Sword for my opinion on this :)

I'm with Kyle on this. I prefer traditional controls to motion controls. It's one thing to offer a choice, but to force motion into Zelda is enough to make me step back from the series as a consumer. I get that many people like the motion controls, and I'm not bashing them, but I will spend my money on games that I don't have to solely use motion controls to play for hours on end.

They need to include the option to use a real controller in every game that could use one (obviously not Wii Sports or anything like that). Super Mario Bros. Wii, DKCR, and the Kirby games would have been a million times better if you could've played them the way video games should be played.
