I suppose you've got a point, neither of those really bothered me though.
Looks like I didn't read that one properly. I must have mixed up memories of the little guys being there with the big monster also having to be present. Even so, getting the Dark Ore there with less than one hit isn't easy.
The controls might not be perfect, but I think going with the d-pad exclusively for moving and sword controls might have made it worse. Having to switch between the buttons for sword and stylus for other items would have been a hassle, and putting the items as buttons isn't really an option since the touch functionality is what makes them so unique and interesting. And since pretty much everything else in the game demands touch screen attention (firing the cannon, drawing on the map, etc), it would've been really weird to move him and attack without it. I think making it all touch controlled was just the most logical choice and honestly the best one they could have made.
And to be honest I didn't really mind the combat, swiping and tapping isn't much different than the locking feature in OoT and using B or A. If anything it's a bit less bothersome since you can't accidentally lock onto the wrong guy, and sometimes you can even hit multiple enemies in one swipe.
Then again, I've always been a big fan of the top-down LoZ games so I might just prefer the view and I put up with the controls
