I absolutely loved it, I actually loved the sailing. I loved how there were so many hazards you could run into, the first time I encountered the seaguls and then that monster I freaked xD. I loved it when you knew hardly any of the map as I LOVE exploring in games. The combat system was so fluent it was just great, the parry system was a lovely addition. The Triforce shard fishing part was hardly a downside for me, as I love exploration and I finished it too quickly to care.
And the game looked beautiful, I really liked how they handled looking at objects in the distance. Standing atop Dragon Roost Island and looking around was just awesome, wondering where you would explore next. The character models were great, and had some funny facial expressions thanks to the art style.
I was adored the story completely, I agree with misterd that the climax in Hyrule was amazing. I was watching videos of it last night, and I got so annoyed that I'd left that game at home when I moved to my University Halls.
