Can we talk about the gyro aiming setting in Zelda?

I was totally against motion controls for years, thought they were just a gimmick. But last month I gave the gyro aiming a real shot in Breath of the Wild during a boss fight. I was trying to hit those weak points on a Stone Talus and kept missing with sticks. After three failed attempts I flipped the gyro on and nailed it in one try. The fine tuning on the reticle just feels way more natural for precision shots. Has anyone else had that moment where a setting you ignored suddenly clicks?

It reminds me of when I finally learned you could parry in Dark Souls.

That Stone Talus fight was exactly what sold me too, I think mine was the one near the Great Plateau tower. I spent like 20 minutes trying to get those stupid rocks with the sticks and almost threw my Switch across the room. Once I let go of my pride about motion controls and actually aimed with the gyro it felt like I was cheating.
