Well, I know that I'm easier to sway than you by a long shot, but I find it to be the best in the series, though I'm barely even to the first dungeon. I'm slow at this stuff, and was never good with complex puzzle solving. Don't even ask how long it took me to beat OoT. Let's just say you guys will be done with it
way before I am.
Anyway, the cinemas are top-notch. I adore the music, and I mean
adore it. Haven't had a soundtrack this nice in forever from Nintendo, and that's just pathetic. The controls are weird to adjust to, but no more so than trying to move Mario with an analog stick a decade ago. It gets easier and easier until you reach the point that it becomes natural, and then you're good to go, and the game is built with that in mind. It picks up as your skill and confidence build up. That's just good game design right there.
The field is a tad bland from what I've seen, but who cares. It's just there to have fun with, and to give scope. I had a blast in Ocarina just riding around jumping over fences on horseback, so I'm sure I'll be happy here as the game rolls on.
I'm fully satisfied so far. Better than OoT and WW which puts it at the top of my list. It's one of those games where you can kick back, check out, and go to another world. That's what I wanted, and that's what I got.
