Just finished it. Awesome game. As a game, I give it a 9/10. It had a lot of flaws. Also, no torch lighting and no boomerang? WTF? Probably the easiest Zelda game I've ever played, too. Not once did I ever get stuck or not know what to do or where to go. I didn't get any of those "AHA!" moments. Then again, I didn't have to consult a guide, either.
On a satisfaction level, I give it a 10/10. I beat it with my kid watching and when those credits started rolling, we both were smiling and, yeah. I'll admit it. My eyes got a little sweaty--she was crying, though. Game of the year, hands down. I played a lot of stuff from 2011 and Skyward Sword is the tops. I'll try Hero Mode, some day.
