There are moments in Skyward Sword when some buttons on the controller don't do anything, which I personally think is a waste. The one that comes to mind is the bird flying, where the control stick and the left, up and right d-pad buttons were left out of the control scheme. Not sure what they would've used them for, but i'm sure they could've thought of something cool. I dunno if there are any other points in the game like this, or if other Zelda games have this issue as well, if you would even consider this an 'issue'.

I just think that having a button do 'something' regardless of the context just enriches the gameplay, for me anyway.

So what do you reckon? Do you think Zelda games in future will have buttons that are unused at certain points in the game?
