I've played throught the first few hours of the game and upon till now I'm a little dissapointed about the start, lot of talking, dialog etc. I'm down with the idea of integrating overworld and dungeon gameplay more, that automatically means the first dungeon takes awhile to get started, but compared to OoT (best Zelda game imo) SS's beginning is quite tedious. I mean it took an hour (excluding the opening videos) to even get a sword, Hope the action will step up a gear or two beneath the clouds. I'm not overly psyched about the controls, but they work fine after you get the hang of it.
