Too much filler held this game back. As metroidking said, it did some things better than other Zeldas but things like getting into the Earth Temple, the robot escort mission, the windmill, blasting an invisible boat with bombs, and the coup de grace, the tadtones mission from the water dragon (where for the first time in a Zelda game I almost rage quit) were boring and frustrating.
I'd give the game an 8 but that isn't good enough for this series. I don't get it, Zelda never had so much useless stuff in it before, why start now? Maybe Aonuma needs to join Miyamoto and take a step or two back.
