Yeah I think that's a really good thing that we solve puzzles in new ways now. I was playing OoT the other day and I had to take a moment to appreciate the fact that Zelda has really good puzzles, and having a new twist on it for EoW will make it a lot more interesting.
Personally, I'm a bit skeptical on how the new combat works but I think it'll be pretty interesting to at least give it a shot. What do all of you think?
