If you were thinking about selling that old wii, dust it off and pop this game in.

To start off, I will address the concern I had at first. The sword controls are great actually. It isn't as annoying as you think. The sword controls are very accurate! Battles aren't the simple run in and pwn the whole room and walk away like a boss. You need to actually study your enemies and find their weaknesses. It creates a challenge that isn't as bothersome as you may think. The bosses are actually hard! It's not as simple as other Zelda games. But the challenge makes the game even better and more rewarding when you defeat something.
Puzzles are really innovative and clever. I was surprised that I got stumped on quite a few of the puzzles. I challenge you not to use guides and do the puzzles yourself; its quite fulfilling when you find them out yourself. I will tell you, there are box pushing ones again, but you won't even mind those compared to all the other fun you'll be having.
The music is great. It is definitely well thought out and beautifully crafted. The orchestra does a great job.
Now for the graphics, it surpasses a lot of wii games to date, but they aren't the most amazing graphics in the world. The graphics are still beautiful though! Hey, it might just be my tv that makes the graphics look strange.
Now for the most important thing to me... The storyline! I know most people don't care as much, but It's important to me. Anyways, being as I am, I was captivated by the first couple scenes. The plot line just wanted me to get to the next area and beat the next dungeon just to see the next part of the story. The characters are really unique. Each one is very different. For example, in the store, each vendor has their own song to their characteristics. (Just a cool thing I noticed.) You actually become attached to each character. And get this, Link shows some characteristics! :O!
You'll laugh, You'll cry (maybe?), You'll lose a couple pounds swinging that wii mote around (my arm hurts right now, but I regret nothing.)

So I haven't beat it yet, so I'm going to go play it now actually. I hope you enjoy this game as much I do.
