This game is surprisingly addictive. I played it for hours earlier today, and found myself wondering where the time went. Twilight Princess felt a bit more like a chore, but I'm enjoying this much more.
The flying parts are pretty fun, glad it's kept to a minimum. But boy, cutscene after cutscene. This game overexplains things. Still, the challenge level feels higher than the last time I played through a Zelda game (Wind Waker). I actually got my ass beat by a giant spider, and was left stunned to find that I actually died in a Zelda game. In the first dungeon.
Perhaps I'm rusty. I'm still getting used to the sword movements, but I'm thrilled to see that the game follows your hand to slash in 8 directions, plus thrust. Very impressive. Its accuracy isn't so bad, but it isn't perfect either. Still, I had a blast trying to slash the giant spider in just the right way to expose his soft underbelly.
Hopefully this won't gather as much dust as Twilight Princess did.
