EAD Changes Zelda's Wii Controls: SWING THE SWORD!

| Nintendo has made some major changes to the control scheme for the Wii
version of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Speaking to Japan's monthly
Nintendo Dream publication, producer Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that the
game will now allow players to swing the controller for sword slashes.
At E3, players used the B button to swing Link's sword, with Nintendo
explaining at the time that players would likely get tired having to
actually swing the controller. "Upon actually playing it, it's more
interesting this way," said Miyamoto to Nintendo Dream about the new
control scheme.
Going along with this change, Nintendo has made modifications to the
game's bow and arrow controls. In the E3 version, players aimed with
the Wiimote, then actually shot out arrows using the D-pad. With the B
button now free, Nintendo has moved the action to the B button.
Miyamoto felt that that shooting the arrow with the D-pad was too
difficult, and the B button allows for quicker and easier shooting.
It's unclear if the game will require the new control scheme or if
players will be able to chose between different methods of control.
Nintendo Dream closed off by asking Miyamoto to name the version of
Zelda he personally prefers. The master game maker said that he'd play
the Wii version, but added that both versions will be fun.
"I can't talk about it yet, but this Zelda has a lot to it," said
Miyamoto. "What you played at E3 was just the tip of the nail."
Regarding Nintendo's statement at E3 that Twilight Princess would be
the best Zelda in history, he said, "Yes. It's coming along quite
nicely."
With Twilight Princess due out at launch, GameCube and Wii owners will
get to fully explore the potentially greatest Zelda game ever in just a
few months.

Honestly i reckon it would be a great idea, parents have tried to get
kids off the couch and outside to get exercise and sitting on your butt
al day playing games really don't get you far. Swinging the sword all
day will help in many ways such as a childs eye sight and body
movement. i know i sit down a play games alot but this is something i
would seriously invest in.
