Yeah, take out the fetch quests! And while they're at it, they should just get rid of all the dungeons too. No point in keeping the plot without those either. Why can't they just let us play without all this stupid filler.
The problem isn't fetch questing, the problem is they are implementing filler into the fetchquest. Gotta find the guys crew, you go to his island, nothing there, you do an unnecessary cart mining thing with a reused boss. Gotta finish the last song, oh I know, let's needlessly throw a some craptastic swimming mini-game. Want to go visit the the Eldin dragon? Let's have you lose the majority of your items, so you can go fetch them again.
I'm completely fine with fetchquests, I actually like the one that most people hate(triforce WW), but when they throw garbage at you for no reason other than to extend the game, and they come right after another, it's a problem.
Pacing is by far the biggest problem in this game. Fetchquests can work, they just don't work all that well in this game and are mainly used to extend game-time, which is the worst thing it possibly can do. It also doesn't help that I am not a fan of Skyward Swords world at all.
