It doesn't have as many buttons though. It could be fine, but the first reviews I read right after E3 said that while it worked fine for fishing (which is only part of the game and says nothing about the rest of the game), the controls for the rest of the game were more awkward. I'd personally prefer to have the old controller for most of the game and just use the wii controller for special instances where it would work better.
Now I haven't read any reviews since that point though, but my concern is standard gameplay as opposed to minigames and aiming the bow. If that's resolved it's fine, though I have my doubts. I wasn't making it out to be anything worse than what I've read. I'm just wondering why they don't just keep the original mode in. Would it really take any longer than 5 minutes out of the day to just dump in the GCN control method and an option menu to select it? If there are any problems, that would pretty much negate them.
It's just assurance. If they do include it, the controls will be fine even if Wii support is poor. If they don't, they run the risk. Why take the risk?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
