I dunno, I'm still getting used to the controls... The fighting is not terrible, but quite frankly I think one of the buttons should have been used for a normal attack... The swinging of the remote just seems a bit sluggish in comparison, although it works well with the spin-attack...

I also get thrown off by the fact that, when aiming a range weapon, the analog stick allows you to move your view left and right, but to look up and down you have to push the pointer to the top or bottom of the screen...

But overall they're just minor irritations that I'm already beginning to get the hang of...

Yeah, I felt the same way when I was at the first temple. It just gets better from there, at this point I'm not sure which control style I prefer. This one certainly has its delays if you're not careful. There's also a cooldown of 3 seconds on your spin attack since it's so easy to do (shake the nunchuck), which can be a frustration. But I think after a while I just sort of decided it was more fun regardless. For ranged attacks it'd be pretty hard for me to ever want to go back to an analog stick. For your standard combat, you just keep getting better at it. Eventually I'm sure I'll enjoy it immensely.

*Edit*

Beat the third temple. God the plot is just awesome. So much more cinematic than the rest of the other Zelda games.
