According to this article on IGN, Aonuma stated in a recent issue of the Official Nintendo Magazine that they are NOT going back to traditional, comfortable button based controls, and will be sticking with motion controls in Zelda games for the foreseeable future. As we know, the Wii U will be able to use the Wii Remote with M+ in addition to it's fancy new tablet, so it's very foreseeable that we will see a similar control scheme to Skyward Sword in Zelda HD/Wii U.
Personally, this kind of irks me. Well I did enjoy the (almost) 1:1 controls in Skyward Sword, I would like to go back to the comfort of buttons. I wouldn't mind some Zelda games making use of these controls, possibly some kind of spin off games, but I don't want all Zelda games for the rest of eternity to use motion controls. Even though the motion controls are good, I still prefer the comfort of buttons. I was hoping that Zelda HD would use the new tablet, which does in fact have standard controls found on your average controller. Maybe this means that it won't use it, or if it does it won't be integral to playing. I have to admit that I'm somewhat disappointed with this turn of events.
What does everyone else think? Should motion controls stay for future Zelda games, including the upcoming Zelda HD, or would you rather see a return to traditional control methods?
