The game offers a challenge in demanding more precision from its controls. I thought it was very well done overall and appreciated it, but I understand that it's not for everyone. My brother is playing right now, and it took him a good 10 attempts to land in the correct spot after jumping off the Goddess Statue. Took me a few attempts as well. There is definitely a learning curve, and some people will simply not find it enjoyable enough to soldier on.
That said, the "demands" of waggle controls have been exaggerated by some critics. You can play this game with the controller on your lap, straddling your crotch just as you do with more traditional games and controllers. If you don't want to get into it and use full arm motions, you don't have to. The only times I recall the control scheme forcing anyone out of their "comfort zone" physically is with bomb rolling and harp playing, and both are used only sparingly.
