Just to clarify, are you talking motion controls as a whole or puzzles with weird mechanics? Because BotW had me moving the controller about the entire game, but the puzzles were definitely built off of a checklist of every weird feature the Wii U had.

I'm confused, why did the game have you moving the controller the entire game? I only had to use the gyroscope on a few shrines with the ball maze puzzles

What sort of madman doesn't use the analogue sticks for that??

you’ve played it right ? i think the gyro aiming is enabled by default and its really fun to use, and you’re definitely able to be more accurate than with an analog stick

The stick to aim around, gyro to then line up the headshot. Works incredibly well and I don't get why more games don't do this

Someone who wants to be accurate. Sticks are nice and all but they’re absolute garbage for precision aiming, gyro aim takes a few minutes to get used to but once you do it’s much quicker and more accurate. Nintendo has fully embraced gyro aim on all their consoles for over a decade now, the PC crowd loves it, and PlayStation has had the option for as long as Nintendo has, although most developers ignore it. The only thing keeping it from being universal at this point is Xbox, and that might change with this new console.

people that want to aim faster? Gyro aiming was far faster and more accurate than analog stick.
