This is a short video showing the sword and bow controls in Twilight Princess. I think you’ll see that only small motions are necessary, and it works quite well.

Finally, two weeks after launch, I managed to track down a Wii. I found out that ToysRUs would have 51 for sale Sunday morning. I arrived at a little after 6 AM, 3 hours before opening, and was 24th in line. The line swelled to probably more than 70 before the manager handed out tickets around 7:20. The ticket allowed us to pick up the Wii anytime before 1 PM. Excellent! We even got to form the line in the lobby instead of outside in the bitter cold. Thank you ToysRUS!!
