Twilight Princess controls changed for Wii!

In the same interview with Nintendo Dream Magazine, Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that the controls for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on Wii have been dramatically changed. At E3, we saw that the sword was controlled by pressing the B button, and the bow and arrow was fired with the D-pad. Many people were surprised and slightly dissapointed that the sword was not controlled as it is in other games, by swinging the Wii controller. Nintendo gave the reason that the player would become too tired from swinging the Wii controller as a sword, a point that everyone keeps making, and one that I fail to understand.

Now, it seems that the sword will in fact be controlled by swinging the Wii controller. The B button, now that it is free, was changed to control firing the bow and arrow. As far as we know, the parrying moves, downward thrusts, and backwards dodges are all still controlled by moving the Nunchuk forward, downward, and backward respectively, as it was at E3.

In regards to playing the game by swinging the Wii-mote as a sword, Miyamoto says, "Upon actually playing it, it's more interesting this way."
