Zelda games will be using motion control from here on out, the series’ developer said recently. Skyward Sword, the most recent addition to the franchise, uses motion control, and has received universally positive reviews.
"I honestly think we cannot go back to button controls now," the game’s producer said of the use of motion control. "So, I think that these controls will be used in future Zelda titles, too."
Though details of the next sequel have not been confirmed, it is widely expected to be in development.
