you have quoted perfectly what i wanted to say to this guy. and a ' zelda thing' isn't the excuse, its the part of the game, and always has been, so it's either a staple or its liked by someone other than you. name a substantial flaw and i'll see if i agree
im not being a fanboy and protecting my "precious zelda" im just saying that for all the things that could make the game worse, you listed reasons that shouldn't count and most people either like or deal with anyway. you're just being really nitpicky. enjoy the game and tell us what you thought...
1) big whoop. Ya might miss something important.
2) meh. I can still sit through WW and OoT's dialogue. This probably wont bother me.
3) man up and figure the puzzle out by yourself. from the original LoZ through probably OoT there wasnt much you could do if you got stuck, so you figured it...
