I hear that space can be a limiting factor. And it makes a valid argument against motion control. I find that at first when I played the game I though that you need broad strokes to swing the weapon, much like Red Steel 2. However later I came to understand that shorter directional quicker strokes where better because you had a better sense of direction with the way you are holding the Wii mote.



The only motion mechanic I find is the weakest is the musical aspect of the harp. I think the motion on that is poorly designed. One part of the game actually had me quitting because it could not get the tempo to a song correct enough to gain the prize.

I find that in SS I have to be careful how I hold the controller because sometimes I twist my arm while I'm swiping and that can throw off the way link swings. TP was easier because the control was just a waggle. I found myself pressing A more in that game though because I was use to to the old style of play. I think the biggest adjustment will be going back to the select item way of the older games, where you had to map the item you needed to use to a button by going to a menu screen.

I do wish there where less dowsing though it is completely optional to use that. I have had problems with switching from the sword to an item that uses the pointing. But I lay on my couch when I play, and I had a lot of space to play between me and my TV. So I will be testing it out in my smaller space to see if the problem goes away. I don't think this game uses the bar for pointing. It may all rely on just the gyro and motion+.
