Created from the ground up for the Wii console, the game uses the precision motion controls of the Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk controllers to map on-screen action to the player’s movements:
"...different enemies have different battle tactics, so players must analyze their approach and develop counterattacks that play on the enemies’ weaknesses. The game’s wide array of items also use full motion controls, letting players roll bombs, shoot arrows and guide flying objects like never before.
"The game also includes a massive, multi-layered world that takes players from dark dungeons to a diverse overworld of cloud cities in the sky, requiring a combination of puzzle-solving and swordplay to unlock its secrets.
