Well, I've beaten the game... yep... and let's just say... it could've been much better, don't take me wrong, I think it was great, but it's far from being the perfect Zelda game.
To begin with, I haven't had ANY hardships playing it... maybe it is because I've been playing Zelda for as long as I can remember and I already know many things about it without even playing it, or maybe because the guys at Nintendo didn't bother much coming up with something completely hard and unexpected, but either way, the game was really easy; in all the temples I never came across a puzzle that I had to say "hell, I really don't have a clue of what to do next!" which personally, is one of the things I've always loved about Zelda: having to go crazy to figure out what to do next. I did loved all the new items and boss battles, but let's be honest, none of them where hard! I mean, in all the game I never even drank a red potion! I bought one and never used it
And the story, I don't know about you but I had the feeling they didn't got much into it when creating it... I don't know... I wasn't completely absorved into it; the presence of the Triforce could have been avoided completely since the story doesn't go around it like in OoT or lttp, it just felt to me like an excuse to throw Ganondorf into the game. I really hated how they vanished Zelda!!! How they killed her to save Midna! Which in the end, ends up having more protagonism than Link! That's a nono for me...
But don't think all I have are complaints! On the bright side, I loved the places, it's unbelievable what they have done with the world, it's so big an wide and there are so many things to see, the fishing pond and the whole fishing thing was amazing... it really felt relaxing
I also LOVED to be able to fight while riding Epona, having to tame her once you find her again
So, my conclusion is: if you're the kind if person that's just happy with great graphics, this is the Zelda game for you, but if you're like me and graphics don't do it all... then you'll agree with me that, regarding the story and complexity, you can find a better Zelda in the old ones. I repeat, it was great and I did love it, but it just hasn't taken the place of my beloved OoT, Link's Awakening and a Link to the Past

Heh.. I DID get stuck at all these random places.. Then I realised the puzzle was simple and pretty much smacked my face on the floor. XD I guess that gave me a sense of "Zelda", since I always get stuck at things in Zelda. But I wouldnt call it HARD, I'd say it's just time consuming. The bosses were too easy for me D= The strategies were fun, though, so I cant complain. It just seemed like.. well.. It's not the same as versing, say, Bongo Bongo.. Yeah I found Bongo Bongo hard XD
I found Ganondorf waayyy too easy.. He was too slow as a duelist! If he.. maybe.. jumped more, or had more unexpected magical attacks.. But I DO like how the final battle was set out. The final battle was awesome, just a bit simple
I DO love that TP referred back to OoT in so many places.. Like, when he walks into the Temple of Time? I was so happy XD The music as well made me happy, because most of it refers back to OoT music.. Like "Serenade of Water" playing when you're talking to the Zora Queen lady ^__^
Ahh I dunno! I really loved the game, but I got annoyed that the ending was so abrupt. I was expecting one of those moments as in OoT? Like, it almost makes you crrryy =__= The ending made me.. annoyed. But then halfway through the credits, I felt it was kinda redeemed. That bit made me sad, with Midna.
I believe that they could've done more, but for now, it definitely goes down as one of my favourite games ever ^___^ I loved the temple designs and everything new about it.. All the new items! It was so cool! The music was awesome for me.. The graphics.. And even the plot. Even if it changed around, I liked it. It must be because I spaced out playing time.. So it wasnt all at once XD
I just wish it had one of those side-quest things, like getting the Biggoron Sword in OoT.
Ahh sorry for the long comment
