1. Unskippable cutscenes
2. Dialogue that cannot be skipped through
3. Only one Sheikah Stone in the entire game, sucks if you're stuck on a puzzle and need to go all the way back to Skyloft
4. Motion controls need to be very precise, wonderful when they work but there have been quite a few moments where I end up striking in a diagonal direction instead of horizontal or vertical
5. Silent Realm is a missed opportunity, there isn't much of any threat here, but there should have been
6. No voice acting
7. Still starts you with 6 hearts after you die, even when many save points have a chair near them (sitting in a chair slowly replenishes hearts) so whats even the point of not just starting you at full health, is this hard to program or something
8. that FREAKING STUPID beeeping sound when you're low on hearts is still here
Granted, I'd still say this is a 9/10 and the best Zelda to date, but a 10/10 is taking the fanboyism too far. Zelda is more of a "dependably good" series.. none of the games are perfect in any way, but you know they'll never be bad, either. Lanayru Province in particular is some of the most clever stuff you'll ever find in a Zelda game.
