Rol and superchunk is NOT too pleased with the new 3DS Zelda *Formerly known as - I'm sure Rol alone will make Zelda: aLttP2 a success*

The first reaction to this game that I've seen from Rol is suspicion that it'll be very puzzle-focused. Considering that all of the puzzles shown in the trailer actually took place in dungeons (so old-school), this is one of those rare times in which I will doubt Rol.

I think I've seen that reaction as well from him... And I gotta agree with him somewhat; Zelda has become very puzzle centric, while it used to be about action and adventure. But I think you have a point; it would seem as if the puzzles are contained to the dungeons and the over world has the enemies... (I'm thinking about the birds and the... blobs...)

I've never had a problem with puzzles since traditional adventure games are focused on puzzles and exploration, and by extentsion the purest form of action/adventure game should have a good mix of action, exploration, and puzzles. And in my opinion, the puzzles present in the Zelda series tend to be pretty good. Some parts of Skyward Sword made me think "this could be its own downloadable game".
