I only played it for a few minutes yesterday because I wanted to save it for a time when I could devote at least an hour or so to really get into it. That time has now come and I've put slightly over an hour into it now.
Aside from a few minor complaints about a somewhat noticeable blurriness present in the background [something which will probably be fixed with some composite cables], they look really reall good. It's not "ZOMG better than Gears of War!!11!!" or anything of that sort, so don't even bother placing it besides those kinds of games, but there's a lot of detail in the world and just the way it's made is great.
Sword combat with the Wiimote is awesome, Gamespot is stupid and foolish for trying to say otherwise. There's these trolls guys that come at you and you just put some beat down on them with a few quick slices of the 'Mote. It's incredibly satisfying and doesn't feel nearly as tacked on as some have said.
Initial reaction: This is Zelda at it's finest. Do not miss it for any reason.
