Default The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD

Excited to see this. Happy to have a way to play Skyward Sword without having to dig out my Wiimote.

One thing I thought was interesting was their method for playing the game without motion controls. I recall a speculation tread from a loooong time ago (like, before the great wipe of April 2001) about what the GameCube (maybe still called Dolphin?) Zelda would look like. "Zelda128". Someone, maybe Xantar or Shadow Link or someone I don't recall, came up with the idea that we could directly control Link's sword with the right thumbstick/C-stick.

Well, it took 20 years and 3 more generations, but we finally have that with this HD port of Skyward Sword. You move the right thumbstick right and he swings right; left and he swings left. Same for up/down and the diagonals. I'm interested to see how this works out. I know the motion controls were kind of controversial, so I wonder if this will feel better to anyone who disliked swinging the Wiimote.
