That would have made me feel sick, and i would be pushed to sell my Wii.

You've never played Crossbow Training, have you.

I remember this conversation. You disliked it for..... actually I don't think you ever said

Does it matter if i ever played it or not?

*Random cocky answer here*

Way to ignore the rest of the post, which gives my reason why i dont want some shooter game.

Way to not read my post at all, which gives my reason why I don't want some shooter game ...or a shitty assed boring slog-epic.

I just don't want Zelda to keep doing down the path of 3 hour intros and that chore-like feeling it has become and I actually used an example of a previous Zelda to make my point.

There were actually Zeldas prior to Ocarina of Time and all the ones prior were really action-heavy. 

The difference is... I never questioned your opinion or anyone elses here, whereas you and Khuutra felt the need to jump on mine.

I wasn't questioning your opinion. The only point that referenced your opinion was a picture mocking you.  There are elements of the game (final boss battle) that are actually fun and could be expanded on in a real Zelda game. Particularly action elements and pacing have disappeared from recent Zeldas.

Back on topic

I really hope he does try to bring the Zelda series back to its action oriented roots. I was just thinking about how long it takes to actually get going in Zelda games.  I figure the point where you get your first heart container is a good point, because usually that's when things start moving forward.

What? I have to collect money?! Oh well, it's cool finally seeing Zelda in 3d and some familiarization is appreciated expected and appreciated, even if the pace has slowed down a little it's still cool because HOLY SHIT HORSE! Thanks for the sword 6 minutes into the game. Time to kick some ass and collect some jewel thingys!

 

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Roughly 120 minutes (119 and change)

Fishing? Goat herding? Sword 20 minutes in that I won't even really get to use for a long time? Furry yiffmaster Link? OH SWEET BUTTERY JESUS THIS IS LIKE A TEST IN PSYCHOLOGICAL TORTURE!

 

Trying to get away from what Zelda currently is is the best news I've heard in a while, I really hope they run as far as humanly possible from the current pacing and lack of action.
