Skyward Sword is Over Half Completed

Miyamoto describe the game's status as "over half complete." Miyamoto expressed no ill will toward the trend of motion controls.

"What we are focused on is creating gameplay mechanics so the gameplay experience feels very dense," Shigeru Miyamoto told Pocket-lint. "In fact, the overall experience is going to feel more dense. We hope that people will want to go back and replay the game once they finish it."-Miyamoto

"Of course, I am happy that motion is fashionable now. But when we make games, we are not trying to produce trendy products," he explained. "It needs to be an experience that's meaningful, and the motion control needs to add something. So our new Zelda game takes motion control and adds something to the game to make you feel like you're part of the adventure." -Miyamoto
