I don't understand the people who think this game is a 10/10 or better than OoT. The beginning is atrocious. Seriously, I didn't think they could come up with a more boring introduction than TP's, but wow, Nintendo does it again! Cliche characters who talk a lot without really saying anything important, menial tasks, flying your stupid duck, a ham-fisted Link and Zelda romantic subplot...I mean, if it were any other game I wouldn't have even continued, but you know, Zelda good will and all that. Is it too much to ask to go into a Zelda game and be able to be done with the first dungeon in less than an hour?
I'm not big on the controls. Why isn't there a way to move the camera (besides Z-centering)? Why is there a stamina gauge? Why does Link get tired from running up a flight of stairs? I should not be in better shape than Link. Don't get me started on flying. I didn't find the combat as mind-numbingly awesome as some people. Wow! Now you have to swing your sword a certain way!
The dungeons are good. I can't complain there. The story does improve as the game goes on, but it's not noticably better than Wind Waker or OoT. It's about as good as TP, which I didn't really like at all. I guess that's how I feel about the game in general, about as good as TP, not deserving of its acclaim.
