Despite all the flak skyward sword has gotten since release, I was looking forward to checking this out again a decade after I enjoyed it as a kid. However there's nothing about it that doesn't feel awkward. The analog controls for cutting feel imprecise and having to hold L to move the camera is awful. And maybe I've just been spoiled by VR but using the joycons for motion controls feels incredibly clunky, not to mention being stuck with gyro instead of IR makes pointing at things far worse. It certainly looks nice at least.
